Food and drink

Bars, cafés, clubs and pubs - Innsbruck's nightlife leaves no wish unfulfilled! After dark the university city is transformed into a hotspot for revellers and party lovers. But it's not only students who enjoy an evening walk along the lively Maria-Theresien-Straße. After the sun has set many local inhabitants also like to stroll through the Old Town, its streets lined with inviting bars and cafés. Another cocktail perhaps before going to the dance club? Or a beer in the cosy pub just round the corner? Those who like to party right through the night should make their way to the bars under the viaduct arches - a particularly popular area with local party animals! 

Trendy cafes, cosy insider tips and cool locations. In this section, we share a few special places where you can hang out, chill or enjoy a night out.

You don't always have to go to a restaurant. Why not just have a relaxing picnic in the park or by the River Inn instead? If you are stopping for lunch during a sightseeing tour or looking for a place to enjoy a short break and a snack, we recommend the park benches dotted throughout the city parks, for example in the Imperial Gardens. Or find a nice spot along the Inn with calming views of the river's green waters. 

Please note: Alcoholic beverages are not permitted everywhere in Innsbruck. Information about the areas where alcohol consumption is prohibited is available on the city administration website.
