Timeline
18:08
Grab a beer and settle into the beer garden at Xenix. This small art house cinema spot is a favorite for students and bohemians, offering a relaxed pre-sunset atmosphere just minutes from the main strip.
18:38
Stand on Langstrasse itself. As the sun sets toward the WSW, take in the unique contrast of the area: the clean, safe streets, the multicultural energy, and the mix of stylish bars alongside the more notorious red-light history.
19:23
Walk south for dinner at Ah-Hua. This Thai restaurant is a perfect pit-stop with budget-friendly dishes and a casual vibe that fits the neighborhood's eclectic character.
20:08
Head SSE to Kanonaegass Bar for a nightcap. Owned by Richard Dorfmeister of Kruder & Dorfmeister, this spot offers good drinks and electronic music in a nice setting off the main drag.
Local tip
Langstrasse stays lively late. If you want to keep the night going, Gotthard Bar (5 mins SSE) is a dive bar that is almost always packed with a mixed crowd and live music sometimes.
