Best Hostels with Happy Hour in Vienna

“Ruthensteiner's garden happy hour on a warm evening is hard to beat. €2 beers, fairy lights, travelers from everywhere. We started there around 18:00, chatted until 21:00, then a group of us walked to the Gürtel clubs. The happy hour basically organized our entire night out.”
