Kaffee Alt-Wien

Kaffee Alt-Wien isn't your typical Vienna coffeehouse: here film and museum posters blanket the seasoned walls and a distinctly bohemian vibe fills the dim interior. The place is best known as the hangout of painters and poets in the 1980s. Some of them still appear in the evenings, when most of the action is, alongside beer-loving members of the Croatian and Hungarian communities. Being smack in the middle of the city center means that Alt-Wien gets its share of tourists, but its native spirit is very much alive.
