If you’re looking to cool off during the hot summer of 2026, you don’t necessarily have to head to the Obere Alte Donau. Right on Vienna’s doorstep, in Brunn am Gebirge, lies a Mediterranean oasis where a fine sandy beach, upscale cuisine, and cool cocktails come together . This beach bar concept combines summer relaxation with exclusive service for extended moments of enjoyment outdoors.
The spot is easy to reach and is ideal for a spontaneous getaway after work in a pleasant beach atmosphere. However , a general admission fee of €10 is required for entry.
Mediterranean cuisine and signature drinks
The culinary concept draws on international influences, with a clear focus on fresh ingredients. In addition to classic smash burgers starting at €17, the menu also features unusual specialties such as Korean BBQ beef for around €26. If you appreciate fine dining, you’ll be in for a treat, especially since the kitchen impresses with truffle fries for €11 and Mediterranean sampler plates.
Afterward, the bar team at the beach bar mixes creative signature cocktails while laid-back beats play in the background. There are also sweet desserts like a delicate pavlova or a generous fruit platter. Anyone looking to wind down the day in a relaxed way will find the perfect drink here. The menu is on the upscale side and fits the venue’s ambiance.

Exclusive lounging areas right on the water
To get that true vacation feeling, there are various lounging areas to choose from, but you should keep the minimum spend requirement in mind. A standard sun lounger on the sand, for example, requires a minimum spend of €25, and reservations are not available in this area. On the other hand, if you prefer the Front Row Sunbeds right by the water, you’ll pay a minimum spend of €85, but you can book them online in advance.
Since it gets very crowded on hot weekends, it’s definitely worth visiting during the week. Additionally, a major special event will take place on July 4, 2026, so it’s advisable to secure your tickets early if you want to join the festivities on the shore of the swimming lake. The doors are open from Thursday through Sunday until midnight for all enthusiastic visitors. You can find more detailed information about special events on the website.
