Quaint Wine Bar in Vienna

After dinner at Da Moritz on my second night in Vienna, we headed to Eulennest on Himmelpfortgasse. The name of the bar means “owl’s nest” in German, and it was a small, intimate venue, with seating at only a few tables and the bar. I enjoyed a glass of Austrian wine and a few sips of the apricot schnapps. I also enjoyed perusing the wine selection, which, by the way, was the décor of the bar – the walls were covered with various bottles of all shapes and sizes. The wine bar is more of a local’s spot, so be sure to know your surroundings and a few phrases of German before going there. I was there on a Friday evening and the place was busy but not too crowded. The owner was very welcoming and made great recommendations. Though not a typical late-night bar, the owner will keep it open past its 12:00 am closing time if they are busy.  Being so close to a lot of restaurants, Eulennest is a great way to end the night.
