Hey there, come on in and have a seat!
“I’m not important. What’s important are other people’s stories.” — Elizabeth T. Spira
Close the door behind you and step into the microcosm of a genuine Viennese Beisl, the Café zur Gitti. Take a seat and become part of a community brought to life by Gerti, the warm-hearted pub owner, and Richie, the charming and melancholic regular and magician. Based on the people and stories from the Beisl, circus, theater, music, and magic blend here into a poetic, humorous, and deeply human world.
Beneath the Viennese wit and seemingly trivial banter, deep emotions come to the surface. The bar’s furnishings sometimes fly through the air in a virtuoso juggling act, magical moments leave you in awe, and specially composed live music blends the Wienerlied with smoky chanson.
At Café zur Gitti, life is celebrated in all its facets. It’s a place where you feel at home, and where the stories of “ordinary people” take center stage.
Grab a seat and let yourself be enchanted!
