Guest post by Mark Cop, Foosball Zone
Playing foosball (‘wuzzeln’ in Viennese) is popular in Wien, and one of the best ways to meet locals and having fun with them. On top, Vienna hosts one of the biggest foosball tournaments, the “Vienna Open” every year. The tournament is playing in VHS Döbling in Vienna and it is approved by ITSF – foosball official organization in the world.
In Europe, foosball is not the most popular sport, that is football. You can say that foosball is minimized football you can play on the table. Foosball is a great game for having fun and making new friends.
Spielbar – Lederergasse 26, 1080 Wien
This is a very nice play where you would feel like in your living room. In this bar, you can play foosball table but also 130 other board games. The bar has nice thematic nights like Nintendo night, Bingo night and quiz night. The place has a great atmosphere and very cool design walls. On walls, there are pictures of board games and newspapers. In this bar, you can also taste a Tex-Mex food which is great for beer.
Four Bells – Schleifmühlgasse 2, 1040 Wien
Four Bells is a local sport Irish pub where you also can play foosball. This bar has the disposition “We teach you how to drink”, so you can easily see that it is a totally different bar than the first one. Playing foosball in Four Bells you will gain some other experience and maybe have the luck to meet some more experienced foosball players. The place looks very nice and has a family atmosphere. They also serve food but have a better and bigger choice of beer. The place is famous for watching sports games and making a thematic party like darts tournament, bar quiz and other. Small advice: if you want to go to their thematic party be sure to make a reservation.

The place looks very cool with big towers made from board games on every few meters. You also can play foosball in one extra room. Playing foosball here you pay per hour and hour is 4 €.

Living Room – Pfeilgasse 8, 1080 Wien
And for last one we saved you the best one. This place is also known as the mother of all ‘Wuzzel’ bars. At Living Room, you will drink beer and have fun. The bar has four foosball tables, a pool table, two ping pong tables and some other games like a flipper. Prices at the Living Room are also low.
