Känguru — Restaurant in Vienna

Good place to enjoy craft beer in Vienna. There are literally hundreds of beers to choose from and most of them are even served in their original glasses, which is a nice touch. Craft beers are from all over the world, mainly though from Belgium (more than three pages in the menu!), Austria and Germany. There is bound to be something here for every taste and the friendly staff will help you chose from the abundance of choices. But there is a giant downside to this: the atmosphere is terrible.

Small "garden" ouside, perfectly fine for hot summer days. Also a not too big but very cozy interior in case it's raining. The beer selection is exceptional with a heavy focus on belgian beers. Staff/owners are (and have been for the last couple of years) also nice and friendly. It's the perfect place for almost all occasions: a relaxing after work beer, any kind of football game, a heavy drinking session with your best friends or a romantic date with your latest...
