Description
Nestled in Vienna’s First District, Needle Vinyl Bar feels like a cosy living room where music takes centre stage. The space is warm and inviting, with exposed brick walls, vintage furniture, and shelves of vinyl records framing the bar. A standout feature is a classic German secretary desk housing two turntables, where guests can choose from a curated selection of around 800 records to set the evening's vibe. The bar’s eclectic decor and relaxed energy make it a go-to spot for creative souls and music lovers.
The soundtrack at Needle is always vinyl-only—no digital playlists here. Whether it’s smooth jazz, classic soul, deep house, or mellow funk, the music is carefully selected to suit the mood. The cocktail list is deliberately simple but expertly made, using high-quality ingredients and thoughtful combinations. The friendly staff contribute to the laid-back, almost house-party feel of the place, and guests often describe the vibe as like being in a friend’s cool, music-obsessed living room.
Open in the evenings—typically from 5 PM to 2 AM—Needle Vinyl Bar attracts a steady stream of locals and travellers alike. It's intimate and can fill up quickly, so arriving early or booking ahead is a smart move. If you're looking for a night out in Vienna that blends top-tier cocktails with curated vinyl tunes in a low-key setting, this hidden gem should be at the top of your list.
