10 November 2019 After the smoking ban is effective in Austria at the indoor spaces of restaurants, bars and cafes since 1st November 2019, the so-called Schani-gärten (Viennese term for gardens of gastro-locations) are the favorite places of the ones who haven't already quit smoking. The first weeks are the hardest for smokers. The smoking ban became effective very suddenly after the transitional government has started its work and transposed the parliamentary decision into law. Some were not really prepared respectively hadn't enough time to change the smoking habit or routine which is triggered by situations like drinking coffee or a cocktail. One of the locations which will perhaps become one of the well visited in these for some hard times here in Vienna is the 'Kleinod Wintergarten' at the Wiener Stadtpark - not only because of the known quality of the drinks composed by its barkeepers. Kleinod sent some images from its romantic winter garden where longdrinks, champagne, highballs and the traditional Christmas beverage 'punch' in variations will be served from 14th November to 21st December, Thursday to Saturday, 17.00 - 22.30, with special music mixed at the turntables for after-work meetings. Indoor is the main stage for culinary by Kleinod chef René Steindachner. Kleinod event-calendar (find details and updates at FB Events): Photo: © Niko Mautner Markhof. |
