The Tube Station does the job a good British pub should. It pours the beer, puts the match on the screens, and keeps the Landstrasse locals and the visiting fans pointed at the same goal.

The Tube Station sits at Lowengasse 51 in the Landstrasse district, an English-style pub that the Vienna Review and local guides flag as a steady favourite with locals and visitors alike. It trades on the simple promise of beer and sport rather than a designed concept, and that honesty is the draw.
Who would love it: the fan who wants a pint and a guaranteed screen for the fixture. Who would skip it: anyone after cocktails or a quiet table, since this is a pub built around the match.
The room
The pub keeps three flatscreens running sport, with the layout built so most seats see a game. The fit-out is classic British boozer, dark wood and a long bar, with room that fills on big nights and stays sociable on quiet ones. It is mid-sized rather than a barn, so a derby crowd brings real atmosphere without losing the pub feel. Live music turns up on some nights when the fixtures go dark.
What to order
The bar stocks international and British bottled beers alongside draught, plus cider, long drinks and shots for the longer sessions. Food runs to pub snacks, baguettes and pizza to soak up a couple of pints. Order a draught and a baguette and settle in for the match. Prices sit in the friendly mid range for central Vienna, which keeps a long afternoon affordable. The bottled range is the surprise, stretching to British labels that rarely turn up elsewhere in the district, so a homesick fan can usually find a familiar can behind the bar.
The crowd and best time to go
The crowd skews to expats, English-speaking locals, and football and rugby fans who plan their day around kickoff. Go when a marquee fixture is on and the screens pull a full house; quieter weeknights suit a relaxed pint. The pub opens through the afternoon and runs late, with hours that stretch for big matches and tournaments. Check ahead for kickoff times during the World Cup and the European seasons.
The detail worth knowing
The name is the theme, borrowed from the London Underground, and the pub plays it straight with an English-pub fit-out rather than a gimmick. What matters more to the regulars is the breadth of what goes on the screens, which runs well past football to rugby and the NFL, so the calendar rarely goes quiet. The Vienna Review files it among the dependable English-language pubs in the city, the kind of place that fills for a Six Nations weekend and a Premier League Sunday alike. With the 2026 World Cup on, the staff stretch the hours around kickoff, so checking ahead for a marquee fixture is worth the message.
Who it is for
This is for the sports fan, the homesick Brit, and anyone scanning Vienna sports bars for a reliable screen and a proper pint. Skip it for a date or a cocktail night. For the wider city, see the full Vienna bar guide and our sports bars guide.
The verdict
The Tube Station wins on reliability, a Landstrasse pub that always has the beer cold and the match on. Come for a fixture, grab a stool with a sightline, and order a draught. For more Vienna pubs with the game on, compare the central Champions Sports Bar and the Irish standby Flanagan's.
