Flanagans

Its rustic furniture is from a small village in County Cork, the green-jerseyed staff are mostly Irish natives, and although it's clearly playing on a certain cliché preeminent not only in Austria but also in other parts of the world, you cannot get more Ireland in Vienna than at Flanagans'. A big menu is sporting different beers and spirits as well as hearty food at very affordable prices, and when this pub pulls together for events such as St. Patrick's Day or the Rugby World Cup, there ain't a jollier - and louder - place about.
(Note: the pub is divided into a smoking and non-smoking section!)

"Baking - how it used to be." This is how the little independent bakery at one of the busier corners of Landstrasse likes to introduce itself, referring to the time as well as the quality of ingredients and baking itself which all go into the bread. The café/restaurant (also part of the bakery) are separated from the baking room by a glass window which allows curious visitors to observe the diligent bakers' and their apprentices' every move.
