Map and areas
Use the map to see how the bars spread across Neubau rather than choosing only by name. Siebensterngasse, Gardegasse, Westbahnstraße and Burggasse suit different walking routes, while Kaiserstraße, Kandlgasse, Gutenberggasse and Lindengasse help you plan a shorter local evening.
Check the distance between stops if you are arranging a bar crawl, dinner and drinks, or a late visit.
Soulmate is a natural fit for a cocktail-focused evening, while Plus43 offers a more intimate speakeasy experience and Matiki brings a tiki-led approach. Noahs Ark is better suited to guests who want unusual recipes rather than familiar classics.
Kleinlaut has a distinctive natural-wine selection in a colourful, lively setting. Die Rundbar is particularly useful if you want more guidance, bottle-shop choice or food alongside the wine, including small plates for sharing.
Booking is sensible for popular weekend visits, groups and compact venues. Plus43, Kleinlaut and Die Rundbar can become busy, and an advance reservation is especially helpful when the evening includes a date, a planned tasting or several people arriving together.
Der Fuchs und die Trauben is designed for a relaxed meal with tapas, burgers, cocktails and shared plates. Die Rundbar also combines food and drinks, making it a better choice when wine, small dishes and an unhurried evening matter more than a cocktail-only stop.
Opening patterns vary. The Habit Pub starts from around 5pm on weekdays, while Matiki begins at 6pm and runs late at weekends.
Other venues may open earlier or change their schedule, so confirm the current hours before making a special journey.
