My favourite place for a night out in Vienna! The atmosphere is absolutely unbeatable especially on Wednesday Blues Jams. So many artists are showing off their prowess. Absolute delight. The staff is also friendly, the beer is at its freshest and prices are affordable. 5 EUR minimum in cash for the band but cards are accepted for consumption. Tiny place so come early!
Awesome little bar with live blues music. The food menu is small but decent, good drink choices, and good service. We were here twice during our 1 week visit in Vienna.
Genuine Blues venue. Can get a little cramped but, its good to be involved in the atmosphere. Musicians on the Wednesday jam night are generally very good...... the female singers ??Maybe not so much.Oh, and it has the busiest, hard-working, friendliest, most efficient barman in Vienna. He seems to be able to do 10 things at once.
Great venue and house band top class with both singers top notch.Michael the barmen is jovial and music transcends all. Languages.Recommend.
Had an absolutely wonderful time with my wife! We had the chance to enjoy Al Cook & Bands amazing blues tunes and good beer. Thank you Al, Briggette, the bartender and the lady who confirmed our stay even though we did not have reservation and the lady who sang a couple of songs (Im sorry, I dont know your names). Definitely pay a visit if you are in Vienna and love blues.
Incredible. If anyone needs a definition of good chaos, itd be this place. Its the closest thing to I imagine a good ol music pub to be; you know, the truck stop pub in a small town typically featured in movies?Music plays every Wed to Sat night, starting at 8pm. Except for the traditional blues jam session every Wed night, every other night you have something different. There are nights with Gospel, nights with Delta Blues, nights with Ragtime, nights where they mix Blues with Country. They have high quality musicians here. The level of impromptu is REALLY HIGH, which is what Blues should be. Not much Jazz over here; this is Blues country, although some musicians might disagree with me on this distinction.If youre interested in visit, I share with you a few tips. The place is really small! So you either want to stand the whole time, and I did that quite a few times, or make a reservation before hand. Make sure you bring cash to tip the musicians; you will be asked. Although I saw people tip with coins before, I also saw people got scolded for doing that. So better bring paper cash. Its 5 euros minimum, and you can get changed. No entry fees for music. Drinks and foods are actually decent. Except for tips, everything can be paid with card.All in all, its a very relaxing and exciting environment. I strongly recommend anyone, alone or with a group, who looks for a high quality music night out on a budget.
Highly recommended place for Blues-Lovers! The atmosphere in the pub is always very uplifting, everybody is in a good mood & the musicians play with passion. It´s easy to meet new people here, everybody is welcome & treated like a family member.The bar owners take very good care of their guests. Even when the place is packed the service is still fast & always friendly (:
Very much enjoyed our time there. The live music and atmosphere was very nice. The staff was very nice and welcoming. Prices quite affordable and you would have to have some cash to pay for the music. 10/10 experiance and I would like to go there again. Thank you for a memorable evening ❤️
Great music, reasonably priced drinks and the barman was lovely. Sadly ruined the evening by a woman coming and demanding cash for the music, we had been there for 20 or so minutes. I spent €30 on drinks and sadly we had spent all cash for the day and had some coins left over which I gave, however was made to feel unwelcome by the €5 in coins I paid and was also told “no coins”. I’ve run live music venues and have always paid my musicians well or given them some great perks for the service. A forceful “donation” left us having to leave earlier than we’d of liked and not being able to return.In addition* you mention I was told to leave when I left with no fuss? Why say such gastly things, you are a disgrace to the live music industry. I run live music venues and pay my music staff, maybe you should do the same since you don’t see them as a reasonable expenditure for a “blues pub”, revolting reply.
Disrespectful owners, forcing to pay for music that I never ordered. Apparently my partner was “sent off”, when he left due to his own decision because of the atmosphere left by the woman with her hat. A few others have agreed on here that sadly being forced to pay for something you haven’t ordered is wrong. It’s a shame as it would have been a venue we revisited daily. Hopefully one day the owners will have the heart to pay their musicians and up their drink prices, then can then secure fair pay for musicians and equally profit from the service.
Accidentally stumbled upon this great place for blues and rocknroll and had the kick. The live music was absolutely brilliant. The surprise was the food - fresh, tasty, recommend by the owner. The lager was cold and tasty. The whole package on hundred percent. Thanks for your hospitality.
Loved this place. Very cool, and cozy. The bat manager and his wife are brilliant. The beer is cold and tasty. We got a load of free eggnog shots to help celebrate Easter and the musician was great. I would bring and extra 5-10 euros to put in for the music thats on but it is worth it
I am frequent guest at the LBP, its one of the best live music places in Vienna, especially the Session on Wednesday, an absolute MUST...
We love going to this cozy pub to hear some live blues music. It is close to the Belvedere palace for a stop in to have a drink and listen to music. This is a small place and holds only 57 people so you should make reservations to ensure you can attend. The drinks are very reasonable in price and the owner and staff are very friendly and love to chat with their guests. They also offer a selection of foods if you didn’t have dinner before arriving for the 20:00 music sessions. Stop in if you love love music you will not be upset that you did!
I really wish, I could leave more stars. The drinks were amazing, the staff was friendly and very nice, music and atmosphere were unforgettable. A wonderful place to stay hope to come here again
I went there hoping to enjoy a nice time listening to some live music and, although the show was very good, the waitress was very disrespectful with us. We ordered some beer and food and she seemed annoyed and made us feel really uncomfortable. We thought about leaving the place but stayed and enjoyed the music but it is definitely a place I would not recommend to a foreigner since she makes you feel like you dont belong there.
Excellent pub to see live music. The crowd was a great mix of people from all around the world and the musician, Danny Chicago, invited people up to sing along or play their own original tunes. The cherry on top was the best Gumbo that I’ve had outside of New Orleans. Highly recommend stopping by!
The beer was nice and the gentleman behind the bar was friendly. Thats where the good part eneded. We arrived, the band sang 2 songs and then the lady behind the bar demanded €5 per person for the music, we werent even finished our first drinks and found this a little odd. We work in the music industry and have never come across this before in any country. Surely the onus should be on the bar to pay the band and not the customers? A cover charge would be more appropriate than charging people who have just sat down. Pay your musicians a decent wage and you wont have people complaining.
Great beer and wine along with friendly staff and live music, whats not to love.
Excellent Friendly venue, Its small but I like that it gives it a cosy and intimate vibe. Recommended hangout if you find yourself in Vienna
Half an hour into listening the live music we were made to pay min 5 Euros per person for the musician. Which would be fine but this should be told upon entering the pub/indicated somewhere. And not demanded in an unfriendly tone, like the case was.
Great place to go if you want to hear nice music but i was there just for an hour and the only bartender was so disrespectful and drunk. When we ordered some food she frowned upon us and left without saying anything as if she didnt want to go into the kitchen. The rest was really good but she made us feel out of place and really uncomfortable. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR TOURISTS
5 euro for amateur music, never seen it before. We listened to two songs and passive aggressive lady made us pay. Definitely a handy way to get the blues alright 👍
Super casual Blues bar. The bar owners are great, the beer was good, and the music was excellent.Next time Im going to try the jambalaya.Recommended. 👍
Beer ok, service also ok - part i dislike is: there is a jazz session, and owner comes later with a hat collecting donations for a band - saying 5 euro minimum? Doesnt make sense at all... Ruined the whole experience
I would call this place home, easily. The music is amazing, the man behind the bar is the happiest person to attend you, came here with friends and received the best attention. Awesome place, saved as favourite for sure.
We Went to see a band and they made us feel rejected because we are not from Austria. Dont go there if you are foreign. The woman bartender was not kind at all. One old man kicked my backpack and another young man kept telling us to move all the time. Disrespectful
The bar lady is very rude. If you give coins to her and for the live music she gets very rude and humiliates you. And says that yheir minimum is 5 euros. These people try to charge you for everything. There is a sign on the toilet that you have to pay 50 cents if you are not a customer. Normally in any pubs in Vienna if you need to use toilet there is no charge!!!!! There are many complaints about this pub on google because of the same reasons!!!!
We found that pub in Vienna as tourists and we really loved it! The live was the best and we meet the best people! Thanks from Greece ❤️
Must visit for this kind of music, looks like a family venue, very unique and the best musicians in town
Live music and proffesional musicians. I wish i had a place like this downstairs!
Very cool live music, small pub but great athomespere. Also traditionional viennanese food on the menu.
Захотели покушать, заказали еды, но нам сказали, что это паб, чтоб покушать, надо заказать напиток. Пришлось заказать дорогущий кофе за 4,5 евро каждому. Как паб надо оценивать вечером под алкогольные напитки(Translated by Google)We wanted to eat, ordered food, but we were told that this is a pub, in order to eat, we need to order a drink. We had to order expensive coffee for 4.5 euros each. How should a pub be judged in the evening with alcoholic drinks?
Amazing musicians!! Cozy environment, great Blues bar!!!!
Зашел случайно. Бармен пригласила на вечерний концерт живой музыки, которые проходят здесь каждую среду. Получил огромное удовольствие от музыки, дружеской атмосферы и хорошего пива.(Translated by Google)Came in by accident. The bartender invited me to an evening live music concert that takes place here every Wednesday. I thoroughly enjoyed the music, friendly atmosphere and good beer.
A very friendly place in the heart of Vienna.Definitely recommend.Live music, beers and smiles!
Little bar, friendly staff, stayed open as late as we would drink. Would be good to go back with some music on.
This is an awsome blues spot.The place to be - to enjoy the great livemusic.The staff is SUPERWe had an unforgetable time
Lovely little location with great live music :)
Great place with live music. The food is also home made and very delicious and the staff is very nice
Very small intimate bar but awesome music and atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit
Sadly we were too late for the show but the barmaid and locals were friendly and wished us a happy holiday. I hope to return.
Cosy small bar with excellent live music. Blues and more on Friday night with Ranimar from 8-11 was great fun.
Randomly popped in on a Saturday night and had a great time listening to some brilliant music
Nice place. I will visit again
Хороший бар, цены достойные. Есть меню на англ.языке.Рекомендую для легкого перекуса с пивом)(Translated by Google)Nice bar, decent prices. There is a menu in English.I recommend it for a light snack with beer)
I love the vibe here. The live music and the the drinks food everything is good
Very nice place ,good beer and good food;)
A great evening with a lot of wonderful musicians playing blues live! Trully unforgettable experience!
Nice music and super nice owners. I will come back. Highly recommended
Cool pub and super blues with Petra and Red Carpet Riders 😁🤙❤!
Good music very nice lady behind the bar I will go again
Oh guys the waitress is too rude, there was a live concert and I gave 5 euros, she wanted then more and not just me.....
Great place for gigs and drinks. The host is really great
Wonderful people, great music and good prices for beers!
Great place for fine music. Very friendly people.
Good beer, good live music, good vibes!
Great concerts, popcorn for free (tongue in cheek)
Small but very good live music
Awesome place, awesome prices, awesome music
If you want appalling service off a miserable, frustrated bar lady, this is the ideal place for you!
Great atmosphere and great music!
Good affordable lunch, very nice service, very recommended!
Great music!
Small, cosy, friendly service, enjoyable blues events.
Cosy little pub with very friendly service.Jon. Australia.

Live Blues Music
My partner and I went to this place last night for a blues jam session. Small but super welcoming place. Beautiful evening, excellent environment and artists of the highest level. It was a lot of fun! We drank some great beer and ate some delicious food. The staff is very kind and super fast.
Truly perfect pub... we had the pleasure of attending a live blues show with my partner.What can I say... a family environment with excellent beer, excellent food and above all excellent people.
It smells like wet dog.The waiter comments in a voice that is too loud, as the restaurant fills up he throws his nerves away, you have to be grateful when he takes orders.Food is just warmed up.Whats bad is that the blonde lady very intrusively demands a contribution to music; I would have given a lot more voluntarily because the musicians were great.
Terrible. I “walked into” a gig. I ordered a large beer and drank it. The landlady walked around with her hat on and didnt accept that I didnt have any cash. After repeated assurances from me, she said that when I was paying I could then tell the landlord to give the band some of the tip. And when I wanted to pay, the landlord extorted five euros from me as support for an old-school blues band, without any drive, without any feeling (except for the drummer), which I saw for a handful of songs, since he was with the two Euros, which I actually didnt want to give them, was not satisfied. I paid more through this blackmail than the one beer I drank. I wouldnt really care, but thats the type that doesnt work. Donating is voluntary and you have to accept that people might not like it that much. If you want fixed money, then you have to charge an entrance fee. Guys, this is really underground and certainly wont keep people coming back. Dont go there!!! Pooh!!! Actually 0.0 stars
Great blues pub with Takaka rum from the Seychelles. Friendly staff and lovely owner.Live music. Reservation required.My best Caipirinha from Vienna, with special lime, back then from Costa Rica.
Blues in Vienna. every Wednesday session. Thu Fri SA Live concerts.You have to experience it!
Small and nice! Nice host, nice ambience, live music: it can get tight 😉
I didnt come to rate the food because I didnt eat anything.By chance we were kindly invited into the restaurant and were rewarded with a great live band. The atmosphere was very great and I was happy to have been there.The staff were very friendly.Thank you for the lovely evening.
Cool little bar, nice waiter, good blues music.
Pub for relaxation, great live blues music and a great atmosphere.
Weve been to the blues session on Wednesdays several times, and every time its an experience. The boss plays great, the boss is funny and the dachshund is always there too. Everyone was very friendly, the musicians were exceptional. We will be back.
I was visiting Vienna and came to this restaurant through a Viennese friend. It was a great evening with great music, nice people and good food. F.G. Hacker and Screamin Silm were unbeatably good. Generous recognition of artistic achievement is a given. Greetings from Munich and it certainly wont be my last visit. Overall, a great thing!
My first visit and I thought it was very, very great here. Rustic atmosphere, nice people. I was even able to play in the jam session too. All great musicians there! Hope to see you soon next time!
Warm and welcoming environment in the heart of Vienna, where you can listen to good music and see local musicians at work.Blues is at home here.Well done!
Totally “ringard” as the French would say. A real pub. And the audience is too old. Not nice. Not hip. But all of it together is just wonderful once the music starts. Intoxicating. Great artists. And the eyes start to shine. Your feet tap, your vocal cords suddenly sing along. And then this whole place suddenly exudes an atmosphere that all the trashy in-locations and hip venues just cant match. Singing, bluesy evenings guaranteed.
Nice little restaurant with excellent music events in an almost family setting. The pub is run with a lot of love and passion. Fine cuisine with rare delicacies. Great selection of Caribbean spirits. I still enjoyed a really good atmosphere every time.
Not a nice place, which is a shame because the music is nice. Bartender is an annoying pushy person. And when you go around with the hat you dont look at what people are doing in it.
Good atmosphere. You can watch football. Expensive
Lovers of good music will get more than their moneys worth here! Almost an experience that could be described as a “massage for the ear” ♡ In addition to a pleasant atmosphere, passionate contemporaries, you can also expect an exquisite selection of delicacies for pleasure drinkers! Highly recommended - always happy!!!
Small, fine blues bar with live music
The Lusiana has been around for what feels like forever. One of the few constantly busy live stages in Vienna. A bit tight, if a band is playing inside the space can be tight.Definitely a watch if you like blues and rock. Insider tip: The blues legend Al Cook plays there very often!
We happened to come to this restaurant on Wednesday after a concert. Musicians were able to play live again and everyone was very welcoming. I would describe the pub as unique. Thanks again for the lovely evening.
Very nice restaurant with a family atmosphere. I found beer too expensive (€4.6 for a wieselburger) but other drinks have normal prices. There is often live music and the staff are friendly. I can only recommend
Fun little shop. Very nice staff. Live music was cool. The only thing that doesnt work that way is when it comes to filling beer glasses. Far below the calibration mark. Even if the foam had still gone down. The two of us had several and each time the prices of the drinks were a little higher. But the atmosphere is wonderful. Thats why we werent bothered by it.
Just go in and enjoy a drink... Very small, cute pub that is run with a lot of love. The live music was magical...
Been there again for a long time.Is the ideal place to listen to musicians who work with a lot of enthusiasm and are very professional.
Looking for a place with live music, we ended up at the “Louisiana Blues Pub”. When we arrived we had some doubts as the place is very small (+/- 25 seats => make sure to reserve) and the service seemed a bit overwhelmed. But luckily we stayed. What a pleasant surprise:- The music (Danny Chicago on guitar, accompanied by Bernadette Schlembach! on violin) was of a quality worthy of the best folk blues concerts;- The place was full of musicians and from time to time some of them took part in the concert (vocals, saxophone, harmonica, guitar, etc.) ;- The atmosphere was familiar and very pleasant;- The service was super friendly (Michael, if youre reading this: thanks from the guys from Luxembourg);- Surprisingly good food (we took the Lousiana Gambo 3 times!) ;- We sympathized with almost all customers ;- An all-round successful evening.Unfortunately, we only discovered this place on the last day of our trip. The Louisiana Blues Pub is a perfect reason to return to Vienna. We will be back :)
Immaculate place, nice people full of care and humor. Great music and well-being just radiates from the walls. I have not experienced a better time shift back with an extended opener. I wish you the best of luck and lets build again. Jan, Lenka and Leontýna. ps: thank you for the night session on the trip, youre amazing. ;-)
Yes, the nice little pub still exists 👍👍I spent many a lovely hour there with the love of my life ❤️ 🥰🥰
If you love live music and meet nice people, this is the place for you.
I was there two evenings at the weekend: great atmosphere, great musicians, the guests both local and international and great service from the boss and her employees.
The woman was extremely rude and literally told us to leave because there were 3 of us and only 2 people wanted to drink, she didnt accept that one person at the table was left without a drink!!! In addition to being tiny and can fit a maximum of 15 people. Ive never given a negative review, but I insist on this one.
We just drank some great beer and listened to some crazy musicians...baby
Small, friendly restaurant, the staff is courteous and the prices are moderate. But the best thing is the live music.
Very friendly restaurant, you immediately feel welcomed and the prices are unbeatable 👍👍👍👍 Always again!! a free must visit for blues and jazz gigs
Of course there is no question that the Louisiana Blues Pub is a legend; countless blues legends have been guests there.I like going there for the music.But to be honest its a bit too much for me.The friendliness of the staff depends on the day, so typically Viennese.Id rather go to Quattro every other week where the boss has a rude Viennese insult.
Unique experience!!! Great live music in a living room atmosphere. Small but mighty! Arrive early because the seats in the small bar are in high demand
Great atmosphere with live music. Service very courteous and nice.
Super cool location! Its very small, but that just makes everything more familiar. There is also regularly flawless blues from various live bands. Always my pleasure!
Always very good live concerts! Unfortunately the place is very small.
Very nice blues location! Waitress is extremely nice! Great menus. We had a really good performance there last week with BLUEsTOOTH! Gladly again and again!
Good live blues music until 11pm. Great service, if a voluntary contribution is requested for the band, it is more than worth it. Great location!!
Live performances almost every night.The place is very small and crowded, not ideal during the corona but everyone who enters is checked.The menu is not rich in food, but there is a great variety in drinks and there is a feeling that the place is intimate.The attitude from the owner is good as long as you order a drink and pay for the show during the break using the passing hat method...
Just happened to pass by here, very nice atmosphere, pleasant live music, nice bar waiter, would love to come here again :-)
Yes there are still local blues. Especially this one with an estimated 30-year tradition. Small, cozy, rustic, unique. Nice atmosphere and cool music. The restaurant has not changed over the years. Home of the Blues
Very cozy and interesting artists. Great live music offers
It was really cool with the live music
Great band last night, delicious beer and a great barman!
It was just great! Great atmosphere, great audience and staff and atmospheric music!
Cozy, pleasant place, great music, really good food
Great pub, with lots of tourists coming in. It was interesting to chat. Card payment also possible.
Cool pub with live music, centrally located, very cozy
Cozy, nice place with always good live music, we like coming here.
Very nice little restaurant with a feel-good factor and good live music. I will gladly come again.
Unsympathetic staff. I wanted to eat a dish without a drink but we were told that drinking was also mandatory because it is a pub... No comments...
A real discovery in Vienna! Great atmosphere, friendly people and a must for blues fans.
Great live music, always an experience, nice little place. We always enjoy coming back
Very nice pub, great atmosphere, great music. I will visit it often.
Nice little pub with cool music. Were always happy to come back!
Small but powerful, of course it depends heavily on the live music, but if its right, the place can only be recommended...
Interesting location, small but very nice, also have a good music program for the evening. Friendly and nice atmosphere.
Fine blues music in an intimate, friendly atmosphere.It was a nice chilled evening - well be back!
Super nice restaurant, great employees/boss, great music. What more could that ❤ want. Gladly again❣
Tiny restaurant with (almost) daily live music, good food (where else can you get yeast dumplings?), friendly service
Its great that Lousi is open again and we can listen to wonderful concerts in the Blues living room.
Thank you for the lovely evening on April 9, 2022 with the dialect educators and for the warmth of the Viennese people in this family restaurant.
Small, cozy pub. Great music. Super nice service.
Cool, cute place with fine live gigs and excellent Käsekrainers! Super nice staff!
Four stars for the live music, ambience...blues pub perfect, drinks and entertainment as...fully sufficient
Its great there. Go there and feel good
Beautiful, excellent singer Petra and companions...., great courtesy.
Great live music, very friendly service and good beer.
Very familiar with a cult character, lots of live music
I think Mr. Robert was very funny
Was about to embark, they saved me! Cool pub I will definitely return the favor!
Very nice people in what is probably the tiniest blues pub in the city. Jam session on Wednesdays. Bring your instruments!
Enjoy excellent musicians in a living room atmosphere, chilled staff, great boss
Small, but very, very nice! Quaint, cozy, great live music, friendly staff!
