Sign Lounge

Vienna


It’s not just the no smoking policy that makes this kooky bar a lungful of fresh air. Cocktail maestro Kan Zuo mixes an eclectic selection of spirits (home-brewed gin, Chartreuse, high-end rums) with some eye-popping ingredients (squid ink, apple yoghurt tea, seaweed) and serves them in fishbowls, popcorn boxes and baby bottles. Be sure to book a table on weekends.
