Filmbar Im Kesselhaus
This sleek student restaurant and bar is the hub of eating and drinking activity on the university campus. Beyond that, it also shows art-house films usually related to the theme of shows in its associated exhibition space (www.filmgalerie.at). If the vegetarian offerings, salads, pasta and meats don’t get you up here, then the lively indoor and outdoor bar or the cinematic aspect might.
