Café Kafka
Opened in 2001, this bar draws many alternative locals (ironically, Kafka is just steps away from Mariahilfer Straße, the main shopping street). Whether you visit at 11 a.m. or 11 p.m., the place is always bustling. Vintage film posters adorn the aged walls, and an old-fashioned wood-burning stove provides warmth during the cooler months. Laptops are allowed, and there’s wifi and power outlets for those who wish to stay longer.
