5 Best Breweries in Vienna

Vienna breweries offer two distinct ways to enjoy craft beer: a relaxed neighbourhood session in Liesing or a characterful cellar experience in the first district. This guide helps you choose a setting that fits your evening, whether you are meeting friends casually or looking for a more atmospheric tasting stop.

Consider the location first, then check the current opening hours and contact details before travelling. The venue’s atmosphere, group suitability and beer focus can make a bigger difference than choosing by name alone.

How this guide is ordered

The options are ordered by how clearly they match the local brewery search, the character of the venue, the surrounding location and the type of visit each place suits best. Some eligible businesses may purchase enhanced visibility, which can influence their placement.
