Bars in Salzburg
Alchimiste Belge
This small pub north of the river may seem a little dingy at first, with graffiti on the walls and ceiling and old furniture, but it's one of the coolest drinking holes in Salzburg. On a nightly basis, the hip crowd gather round the bar's central tree-trunk fixture to try a wide selection of Belgian beers.
