The rather 'hairy' experience at the Do&Co Bar, Stephansplatz Bar, Vienna, Austria

If you are in Vienna on a beautiful, crisp clear, cold December Friday night, and you wish to continue that very exciting dinner conversation with your friends over a drink, in a cozy but glamorous setting, there are a few places that can beat the Do&Co Bar am Stephansplatz. The fantastic view of the gorgeous Stephansdom, and the glamorous, international crowd, are the very obvious pluses of this popular bar.

Notwithstanding the minor minuses, inadequate ventilation for such an 'airy' environment, or the fact that this bar should not, and really cannot sufficiently double up as a hotel lobby, my biggest gripe is purely visual. The huge, beyond unattractive, and definitely unglamorous television set hovering sadly above the onyx bar, is definitely more sports bar atmosphere than luxury hotel bar feel. Still, to TV or not to TV, may be an open question, but once the choice has been made to keep this archaic contraption, please do not leave this baby unattended; or else, you may find it playing an 1980's shampoo commercial, while the nanny's blasting "Call Me Baby" on the house stereo!!
