In the crooked streets of Vienna's historic first district, there lies a hidden gem for cocktail enthusiasts. Situated on the ground floor of a former clergy house from the late 1700s, the interior concept of Truth & Dare resembles the owners’ vision to create a pure and raw space, celebrating high-class mixology and bar culture. The opposing mix of materials and a complementary color concept, which challenges your visual sense, creates two areas each with its very own atmosphere. A monolithic counter clad with stone and black steel dominates the bar area, immersed into an overall cold and dark color palette. Following the ancient walls behind the bar, an unpretentious straight steel shelve displays the gustatory specialities. The adjoining room with its soft silhouettes and velvety interior in warm red shades builds a strong atmospheric and haptic contrast. Embedded within historical and deep window reveals, private seating corners offer a view onto mythical Schönlaterngasse.
