Murphy's law (Irish pub)
This Irish pub at Lorlebergplatz also offers a selection of dishes in the evening (try the great chicken and mushroom pie); furthermore, they sometimes have live music. It is very popular amongst students and the working crowd, especially on weekends.

Kaiser Wilhelm
A short, standard but solid menu in a friendly "Wirtshaus" environment; daily promotional offerings. As the image on the outside shows, this venue isn't named after the Wilhelm II of World War I fame but his grandfather, Wilhelm I who was Prussian King and then German Emperor until 1888. The square along which it sits (Lorlebergplatz) used to have a monument to Kaiser Wilhelm before it was melted down to pay for ammunition in World War I, hence the name.
