lyonhibs Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Anyone else arriving on the Saturday in Vienna? We'll be indulging in a spot of daytime drinking before getting a late afternoon train to Bratislava in good time to find wherever everyone is for the Lithuania game. Any Vienna recommendations? I've been before, but only with wife + mother, so priorities were, errrrr, slightly different. Lovely place though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'd imagine most people will be drinking in Glasgow on the Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrne2711 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Due to me booking the wrong days, I'll be in Vienna on the Saturday too. No idea where's good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeJohnny Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Lyonhibs - I meet my two pals at Vienna airport about 11 on the Saturday morning. They fly from ed and arrive about 40 minutea before me coming from stansted. We stay in Vienna over on Saturday night so if you fancy joining us for a sesh be more than welcome. Im not Vienna's biggest fan but know the good areas. Finding a bar that shows the Lithuania game will be the trick !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it clashes directly with the Slovenia vs Slovakia game, I suspect that'll be even more of a challenge than in Vienna, as Austria play on the Thursday.

There is a small Scottish Bar in the old town called Loch Ness Pub (vastly over priced with a bit of tartan wallpaper and bottles of Brew Dog, but your best bet)..... there is also apparently another Scottish pub in the city which is suppose to be better, but its well out in the sticks by most accounts.

steve_cf uni Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Will also be in Vienna Sat night we get in from Gatwick about the same time the game kicks off, hoping to catch the 2nd half at least somewhere. Any advice welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrne2711 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I've noticed two Scottish pubs in Vienna. Will give them an email to see if they'll be showing our game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyL Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I will be in Vienna on the Saturday night. If we can identify a pub to watch the game I will head there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyL Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Contacted Billabong. An Australian bar and got this response.

Thanks Regards Sent from my iPad Sorry we are not able to broadcast international qualifiers since right to those games lie with the domestic tv broadcasters Regards Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron92 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 2 of us arriving at 19.00 into Vienna so quite tight for time to make kick off for Scotland v Lithuania. Be great if everyone went to the same place. Few irish boozers in the centre that could be worth a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlythekeepertobeat Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 two of us planning on going to Highlander Scottish Pub to watch the Lithuania game, unless there is anywhere else better. I know they have Sky Sports and would guess they will be showing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I think there is 2 Highlander pubs in Vienna..... 1 is a proper pub, while the other is a more "up market" Brew house type place (this one I think is a bit out the way from what I recall). There is also a large sports bar in the city called Champions, and as long as Austria are not playing at the same time, will probably show the match for you.

WeeJohnny Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I emailed the Highlander - Got the nice response below, Like the idea of the discounted beer ! Could you help me guess numbers to let the guy know how many of us there are likely to be ? (10, 20 40 60 ???) I'm not sure what he means by reserving the pub for us - maybe he means a section but I don't think he needs to do anything like that !!!:(I may have over egged possible numbers to ensure they showed the game !). Me and my two pals will be there anyway. "Hi John My name is James. I'm a the manager of the Highlander in Vienna. I am currently in Scotland enjoying your beautiful country. If you guys are considering the Highlander to watch the Lithuania game it will be available on 5 screens. On top of that I will put on an offer for discounted beer to help lubricating the cheering and singing. Let me know asap if you want me to reserve the pub for you. We will be delighted to welcome you and your friends. Slainte James=" He wrote back later "Ps Who recommended the Highlander. I may know the person or have met them. James" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeJohnny Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Only reposting this as the manager of the Highlander in Vienna has been back in touch asking whether he can expect any of the TA to be in his pub for the Lithuania game. On the Saturday night. We will be there anyway ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartgibbons Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Alright Wee Johmny (spelling up to its usual standards I see!) - should have been WeeJobbie - anyways I'll go to any pub they let me in and as I've never been to Vienna before I doubt I'm barred from a single pub in town, yet!
