Roberto Pavlovic is considered one of the best bartenders in Vienna and worked for many years at the legendary Loos Bar. He has now gone independent with his own bar, and the great-sounding "Robertos Bar" has very quickly demonstrated that is also has the potential to become a legend. The interior has everything: black predominates, from the bar counter to the cozy, intimate booths lined with velvet, naturally also in black. An eye-catching feature here is a giant, room-filling chandelier made from chains, onto which about 80,000 freshwater pearls have been threaded.

The Roberto American Bar opens its doors at 4.00 pm for cocktails and small snacks until 6.00 pm, by when the cocktail bar is regularly very busy. As far as the drinks go, pretty much all the classics are available – and they are sensationally good. The attentive service is also worth a mention. Even guests who have never been here before will immediately be treated like regulars.
