Café Leopold

Description:

• No one ever expected that the city's homage to Viennese expressionism (the Leopold Museum) would ever rock 'n' roll with the sounds of dancing feet and high-energy music. But that's exactly what happens here 3 nights a week, when the museum's restaurant fills up with drinkers, wits, gossips, dancers, and people of all ilk on the make. There's a revolving cycle of DJs, each vying for local fame and approval, and a wide selection of party-colored cocktails, priced at around 10€ ($16) each. The cafe/restaurant section is open Sunday to Wednesday 10am to 2pm, Friday and Saturday 10am to 4pm. The disco operates only Thursday to Saturday 9:30pm till between 2 and 3am, depending on business.
