ahoi !

The werkzeugH is a restaurant in Vienna's 5th district - we have sofas and tables in a thrown-together DIY atmosphere, in an industrial 70s warehouse setting (a rare find inmidst vienna's 19century buildings)

There's coffee, drinks and a changing menu.

The name comes from "Huber Werkzeug", the tool retailer that was located here until 1999 at this location.
