When the curtain falls at Vienna’s Volkstheater, nightlife rises at the Rote Bar on the upper floor. Just a stone’s throw from the Museum of Natural History, the Kunsthistorisches Museum (Museum of Fine Arts) and the MuseumsQuartier, the culture-vulture haunt – one of the city’s most exciting locations – puts on an après-show program beneath the dazzling chandeliers.

The Red Room is a stylish bar on the Ring boulevard, occupying the basement of the Comida, a restaurant long famed for its exquisite drinks list.

It churns out the very best of Black Music from 1968 to the present, accompanied by a choice of drinks and cocktails that leaves nothing to be desired.
