What Darcey Travels dislikes about Pointers Bar Restaurant:
Studenty bar with cheap drinks near the market and karlsplatz. Non smoking area was busy so we sat at bar near smokers. House wine was decent and very well priced. View all feedback.

The burgers are made of good quality habe a fair size and in the happy hout are really affordable. It is highly recommended to have a beer or two and enjoy
Spacious and relaxed. Good range of Irish and local drinks. Burgers are excellent - go for the bottom one on the menu. Great place to start the evening.
Good food and athmosphe plus friendly staff with a knack for picking up an Irish accent! Few minutes walk from Karlplatz & main shopping area!
We went there to have our x-mas dinner in December 2013. We were group of 9 people.It is mainly a student pub. They have different kinds of burgers including vegetarians. + Good food + Nice location + Average service - Crowded
Pointers is a bar and eatery hidden away behind Karlsplatz. It is allegedly a South African haunt though seems mostly to be populated by locals including some of the student population of Vienna's 4th district.It is a bar that has not succumbed to the need for high powered lighting so has a more traditional pub feel, a comfortable place to be. There are quite a few tables in the main room normally with seating for 6 but it is a bit of a squeeze. The smoking room seems to draw most of the locals in which is a bonus for those after a bit more space. There is a door between the smoking room and the main room which does mean the smoke impact isn't terrible.A foosball table works pretty well for those who like that sort of thing. Darts is also available but presents a bit of a risk for those passing that way to use the facilities.Beer is in an Irish Pub style so the main pumps are for Guiness, Kilkenny and the like.Food is burgertastic. There is a remarkable array of burger options spanning a couple of pages in the menu. Impressively there are three vegetarian burger options.Price is good, especially with happy hour early evening on weekdays. On a friday night it was not too crowded so seems a decent place for a couple of pints and a burger.

We wanted to watch a football game while on holiday in Vienna. The staff at the bar were very friendly and set up a screen with the game for us upon request. The food is also very good, highly recommend their burgers! Would definitely visit again if we're ever back in the city.

Looked after with table service. Need to book in advance if many games are on (I.e. football World Cup) Beer was good and lovely burgers with hot and good chips (French fries)
We went to watch American Football on Thanksgiving day and the place was packed! Couldn't believe there were so many American Football fans in Austria! We were lucky to get the last small table that was not reserved. Even though they were packed we were served promptly and the staff of only 3 were pleasant and efficient. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a great sports bar?
We found Pointers when looking for a place to watch American Football. Everything about Pointers was excellent the atmosphere, the location, the food, the service, EVERYTHING! Even without a reservation (best to make one! we were welcomed and received excellent service. Best burgers too! Thank you for the genuine hospitality!

Superb service, with the staff going out their way to make sure everything is in order. They'll find you the game you want to see (provided there's tv's free for it), no matter how obsecure the airing broadcast might end up being. Food portions are on the large size and beer is good and cold! Prost!
Best Bar in town! The food is great, the drinks too and most important the waiters are super friendly. If its possible in any way, they show all my favorite sports and always have specials, like a huge celebration when the Dutch King celbrates his Birthday : Fun thing to do: DRINK AROUND THE WORLD
Asked in advance over Facebook whether they would put on a different game for me during a Champions League semi final fixture and they said they would. Turned up at the bar to find a spot reserved for me by the TV did not expect that and made to feel very welcome. Service was fast and friendly and food was great too could tell it was cooked fresh in clean oil. If I am ever back in Vienna I will come for a drink here!
