Stadtbrauerei Schwarzenberg, Vienna

Stadtbrauerei Schwarzenberg used to be one of those places people searched for when they wanted “a proper brewery in Vienna”: house beer, Austrian food, and a classic Brauhaus look. A lot of older travel articles and directories still mention it and link to this domain.

What Stadtbrauerei Schwarzenberg was

It fit the typical Vienna gasthaus brewery pattern: a central location, its own beers on tap, and a menu built around schnitzel, goulash, and the usual warm dishes that go well with lager. If you’ve read older blog posts or guides that talk about “Stadtbrauerei Schwarzenberg”, that’s the vibe they meant—a mix of brewery restaurant and city pub.

Over the years the scene changed, places closed or rebranded, and some of those guides were never updated. The result: the links stay online, but guests arrive in Vienna and find that the exact spot they had in mind is no longer there in the same form.

What to look for instead in Vienna

If you were originally searching for Stadtbrauerei Schwarzenberg in Vienna, what you probably want is a proper Brauhaus: house-brewed beer, a beer garden when the weather is good, and local food that actually fits the beer. You’ll find more on that in our Vienna Brewery Guide and beer in Vienna Austria overview.

A current brewery recommendation: Fischerbräu

For something that hits the same “brewery restaurant in Vienna” notes, we keep recommending Fischerbräu in Döbling. It’s a gasthaus brewery with its own Helles, Dunkles, Zwickl, and seasonal beers, plus Austrian food in portions that make sense for drinking beer: schnitzel, Tafelspitz, goulash, and more. In summer there’s a proper beer garden; in winter it’s all about the warm dining rooms.

You’ll find more about food pairings in Austrian food with beer, or specifically about Wiener schnitzel and beer. Both are the kind of dishes you’d expect at a place like Stadtbrauerei Schwarzenberg—and at a good Brauhaus in Vienna today.
