Next to Japanese izakayas, there isn’t a better place on Earth to be from the hours for 5PM to 11PM than a gasthaus. European beer that flows as freely as the Danube, an intimate and authentic look into how the locals live, and of course, hearty traditional dishes such as goulash, spaetzle, wienerschnitzel, that are sure to leave you bursting at the seams – gasthauses are a safe haven for the 9 to 5’ers that recognize life is best lived with your close friends and an alcoholic drink in hand.

Cue Steman, located smack dab in the middle of Mariahilf on Otto-Bauer-Gasse – my all time-favorite gasthaus in Vienna, Austria.

But, what exactly makes Steman worth adding to your eating itinerary when traveling to Vienna? Let’s take a look.

6 Best Cafes to Work From in Vienna

Vienna won me over. I’m not sure if it was because of its rowdy gasthauses, old friends who I was able to reconnect with, or the palpable energy that is hard to ignore after stepping out your door. Vienna is an absolutely wonderful city that I recommend everyone check out.

I do know for sure that Vienna’s abundance of great cafes to work from is a major factor in why I am seriously considering settling there permanently. From busy college hangout cafes, to traditional Viennese coffee houses, all the way to chic, hipster hangout spots that double as an upcoming DJ’s stomping grounds – Vienna has a cafe (or two) perfect for whatever mood you are in.
