Beer & Après Prices in Jochberg

What you'll actually pay for drinks and food in Jochberg, Austria. Prices verified for 2025/26 season.

The Drinking Culture in Jochberg

Jochberg's après-ski culture is deeply rooted in Tyrolean tradition, tracing back to the post-war era when local farmers and miners would gather in village taverns after long days on the slopes. Unlike the rowdy, internationalized après-ski scenes of larger resorts, Jochberg has maintained an authentic Alpine character where the drinking culture revolves around communal celebration rather than wild partying. What makes Jochberg unique is its blend of down-to-earth Austrian hospitality with access to world-class skiing—the resort sits within the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental and is just minutes from the legendary Hahnenkamm race in Kitzbühel. The crowd tends to be a mix of Austrian regulars, German holidaymakers, and a growing number of sophisticated international skiers seeking alternatives to overcrowded mega-resorts. The atmosphere is unpretentious: you'll hear more German and Austrian dialect than English, and the music tends toward traditional Schuhplattler-influenced folk rather than chart-topping DJs. The best time for nightlife is during peak season from late December through March, with the liveliest atmosphere around Christmas, New Year, and the February school holidays when Austrian families descend on the village.

Complete Bar Guide

Bergstadl
mountain-bar €€

Perched at the summit of the Pengelstein lift, Bergstadl is the quintessential Jochberg après-ski experience. The sun-drenched terrace offers panoramic views of the Kitzbühel Alps, and the atmosphere buzzes with skiers clutching Jägermeister and Gluhwein from 3pm onwards. Inside, the rustic wooden interior features vintage ski memorabilia and a fireplace that crackles as the sun sets over the peaks. The crowd is predominantly international but welcoming, with a fun, festive energy that builds throughout the afternoon.

Signature Bergstadl Jägertee (hot tea with Jägermeister, €7.50)
Best Time 3pm-6pm for sunshine and atmosphere; arrive before 4pm for terrace seating
Insider Tip Skip the crowded main terrace and head to the smaller side deck for better service and fewer crowds.
Moareralm
mountain-bar

A more laid-back alternative to the bigger mountain bars, Moareralm sits at mid-mountain and attracts a crowd that's serious about skiing rather than just partying. The self-service format means faster drinks, and the atmosphere is considerably quieter—perfect for those wanting to relax with a beer after a long morning on the slopes. The hut serves simple, hearty Tyrolean snacks that pair excellently with their house wine.

Signature Radler (shandy) - €5, or a Stiegl (local beer) - €6
Best Time 2pm-4pm for a relaxed slope-side drink
Insider Tip The Kaiserschmarrn (shredded pancakes) here is the best on the mountain and makes an excellent lunch accompaniment.
Zur Post
village-bar €€

The heart of Jochberg's evening social scene, Zur Post is a traditional Austrian Wirtshaus (inn) that transforms from a restaurant into a lively bar as the evening progresses. The wooden-paneled interior features hunting trophies and antique skis, creating an authentically Tyrolean ambiance. Locals pack the bar area for après-ski drinks, and the conversation flows in both German and English. The crowd skews slightly older (30s-50s) and appreciates quality drinks over loud music.

Signature Schnapps flight (three different fruit schnapps, €12)
Best Time 5pm-8pm for the most vibrant atmosphere
Insider Tip Ask the bartender, Hans, for the 'local special'—an off-menu apricot schnapps that isn't on any list.
K+K Weinbar
wine-bar €€€

Jochberg's only dedicated wine bar offers a sophisticated contrast to traditional ski resort drinking. The minimalist, modern interior features an impressive selection of Austrian wines, particularly from Styria and the Wachau Valley. This is where you'll find sommeliers rather than shot-drinkers, and the quiet, refined atmosphere makes it perfect for couples or those seeking a more cultured evening. The cheese board is exceptional.

Signature Grüner Veltliner tasting flight (€18) or Weisser Spritzer (€6)
Best Time 7pm-10pm for a pre-dinner drink or quiet evening
Insider Tip Tuesday nights feature 'Winzer Tuesday' with reduced prices on bottles from featured vineyards.
Die Bühne
club €€

The only true club in Jochberg, Die Bühne (The Stage) is a small but lively venue that gets packed during peak season. Located in the basement of a historic building, it features a small dance floor, DJ sets playing everything from pop to techno, and a bar serving standard resort-priced drinks. The crowd is young (20s-30s) and international, making it the place to dance the night away. It's not Ibiza, but for Jochberg, it's as good as it gets.

Signature Vodka Red Bull (€8) or Long Island Iced Tea (€12)
Best Time 10pm-2am on Friday and Saturday nights
Insider Tip Cash is still preferred at the bar, and there's no cloakroom—keep your jacket with you.
Gasthof Ochsen
village-bar

A true local's hangout, Gasthof Ochsen is the kind of place where you feel like you're drinking in someone's living room. The multi-generational crowd includes everyone from retired farmers to young ski instructors, and the conversation is genuinely welcoming. The drinks are cheap, the servings are generous, and there's a TV showing Bundesliga matches. Don't come here for sophistication—come here for authentic Austrian hospitality.

Signature Hofbräu (local draft beer) - €4.50, or a 'Stammtisch' house wine - €3.50 per quarter liter
Best Time Anytime, but especially from 6pm onwards
Insider Tip If you speak any German, strike up a conversation at the Stammtisch (regular's table)—you'll make friends quickly.

Prices & Value

Jochberg offers reasonable value compared to its glitzier neighbor Kitzbühel, though prices have risen in recent years with increased international visitors. The village maintains a nice middle ground—nothing is as expensive as Courchevel, but you're not in a budget resort either.

Beer
Draft beer (0.5L): €4.50-€6 (local Stiegl or Hofbräu at €4.50; imported beers at mountain bars €6)
Wine
House wine (0.25L): €3.50-€5; Glass of quality Austrian wine: €6-€12
Cocktail
Standard cocktails: €10-€14; Après-ski cocktails (Jägertee, Gluhwein): €6-€8

How it compares: Jochberg is roughly 15-20% cheaper than Kitzbühel for comparable drinks. Against other Austrian resorts like Ischgl or St. Anton, it's similarly priced but offers better value for money given the quieter, more authentic atmosphere.

Where locals drink: Locals drink at Gasthof Ochsen and Zur Post for value and authenticity. Tourists tend to cluster at the larger mountain bars and Die Bühne club. Wine lovers head to K+K Weinbar, which attracts a mixed crowd willing to pay slightly higher prices for quality.

Perfect Après Itineraries

🎉 The Classic Route

Start at Bergstadl mountain bar at 3pm for sunshine and views, ordering a Bergstadl Jägertee while recounting your morning runs. Ski down to Moareralm for a relaxed Radler around 5pm. Head back to village and freshen up, then grab dinner at Zur Post (reserve ahead). Continue at Zur Post for Schnapps and people-watching until 9pm. Finish at Die Bühne for dancing until 2am—the classic Jochberg night out.

💰 Budget-Friendly

Hit Moareralm for affordable beers (€5) during the afternoon. Return to village and head straight to Gasthof Ochsen for cheap house wine (€3.50 per quarter liter) and chat with locals. Grab a döner or pizza from the takeout spot near the church (around €8) and continue drinking at Ochsen. No need to spend more than €25-€30 for a full evening out.

✨ Upscale Evening

Begin at K+K Weinbar at 7pm for an Austrian wine flight and artisanal cheese board. Walk to Restaurant Hocheck for a sophisticated dinner (expect €40-€60 per person). Return to K+K Weinbar for digestifs—a Grüner Veltliner or perhaps an apricot brandy from the extensive spirits menu. End the evening with a nightcap at the quieter side of Zur Post, enjoying the 'local special' schnapps.

The Après Scene

Our Take

Jochberg has modest après-ski. A few bars and restaurants, but this isn't a party resort. Good for families or those who prefer early nights. Prices are reasonable.
