Blaue Bar

The appropriately named bar just off the lobby of the Sacher Hotel is a vision in blue—its chairs and tufted settees upholstered in blue velvet, its walls covered in blue silk damask. The lovely spot is equally perfect for an afternoon coffee (along with a slice of sacher torte) or pre- or post- dinner drinks. Locals frequent the fin de siècle Blaue Bar en route to or after seeing an opera in the next-door State Opera House.
