Stieglkeller

Sobre este lugar Stieglkeller

The Stieglkeller is not a gay venue but it earns its place in this guide as the best answer to the question of where to drink in Salzburg when what you want is the city's most dramatic setting rather than its most explicitly queer space. Perched on the Mönchsberg cliff below the Hohensalzburg fortress, the terrace of the Stieglkeller looks out over the entire city — the Baroque church towers, the Salzach, the Old Town roofline, and the mountains beyond. The beer is Stiegl, Salzburg's own brewery. The crowd during the Festival season is international, arts-oriented, and broadly welcoming in the way that festival audiences tend to be. The restaurant has been operating in various forms since 1492 — the building has more history than most of the city's specifically gay venues combined. Gay visitors to Salzburg who have an evening before Republic opens will not regret spending it on this terrace.
