What customers say?

“ They had a stand-up comedy show and I was there for that. It is a small stage in the Gewölbekeller. It is nice and gemütlich down there. The show was good and the locale was nice. I am not one who smokes grass like most of their clientele but still felt comfortable there. In case anyone is concerned with that. ”

“ I really like this place. Usually it’s fun if you go w a big group of friends there cuz there are two halls for that so probably you can find the space even on weekends. Personally I’m really biased cuz I have lots of good memories in this bar. One of the good things from this bar is it’s open till 6. ”

“ Excellent service, friendly staff. There were live performances in the evening, which made the atmosphere so good. ”

- Sandeep Kumar -

“ One of the oldest bars/cafes in Linz and very much the one with the longest opening hours. Quite on the left side of the political spectrum regarding audience and music. In the cellar there are often live concerts and/or dance music. I had some of my most enjoyable nights out there. ”

- Ronald Brindl -

“ Very good place. You can spend easily two hours or more talking with people. Also they receive you in a very good mood ”
