You’d swear you’re by the sea at this hopping canal-side beach bar, with beach chairs, sand, DJ beats and hordes of Viennese livin’ it up on summer evenings. Cocktail happy hour is from 5pm to 6pm. Cool trivia: it’s located on Herrmannpark, named after picture-postcard inventor Emanuel Herrmann (1839–1902).
