Best Salzburg Hostels with In-House Bars

Two Salzburg hostels run in-house bars that mean something — YoHo - International Youth Hostel near the Hauptbahnhof with the famous nightly Sound of Music screening and €3 happy-hour Stiegl, and Hostel Salzburg-Wals out by the airport with a quieter sun-terrace bar serving €4 drafts and €6 Aperol spritz. The two represent opposite ends of Salzburg hostel-bar philosophy: party-social vs. road-tripper-quiet.

§ 01 — Traveler's take
“I stayed at YoHo for two nights in October 2025 and went to the bar both evenings. Night 1 was a quiet Tuesday — maybe 15 guests in the bar, 8 of us at the Sound of Music screening. By the third song the volunteer bartender Hannah had organized a sing-along to "Do-Re-Mi" and I'd swapped Hallstatt tips with two German backpackers and an American on a Vienna-Salzburg-Munich loop. Night 2 was Friday — DJ on, 60 guests in the bar, happy hour at 17h pulled the train-arrival wave. Different crowd, same energy. Both nights ended at 22h with the group walking 12 min to Augustiner Bräu Mülln. The hostel bar didn't replace Augustiner — it was the social tee-up.”

§ 03 — Tips

Tips for Choosing a Hostel with Bar in Salzburg

Tip Nº 01

YoHo's happy hour is 17-19h with €3 Stiegl draft. Show up at 17:30 — by 18h the bar fills with the day's train arrivals and the 8 pm Sound of Music screening starts pulling a crowd around 19:45.

Tip Nº 02

The Sound of Music screening at YoHo is in a side room with about 25 seats. Get there 10 minutes early. Free, included in your stay. They serve €3 popcorn at the door — it's worth it.

Tip Nº 03

Hostel Salzburg-Wals's terrace closes at 22:30 by Wals residential noise ordinance — the bar inside stays open until midnight. €6 Aperol spritz with the Untersberg in the distance is the road-tripper's apéro.

Tip Nº 04

Both bars close before Augustiner Bräu Mülln's last orders (22h). Time the move: hostel bar 17-21h, walk to Augustiner Mülln 21-22h, last orders 22h sharp. The math works at YoHo (12 min walk to Augustiner) but not at Wals (25 min bus + walk).
