Beer & Après Prices in Alpbach

Perched on the mountain at mid-altitude, Alpbichl is THE classic Alpbach après-ski spot. This traditional wooden hut comes alive around 3pm when skiers gather on the sun terrace for the first round. The interior is authentically Tyrolean—exposed wooden beams, antler decorations, and a massive stone fireplace. Live band performances create an incredible atmosphere as the crowd transitions from ski boots to dance mode. The party spills onto the terrace where the DJ plays après-ski classics. It's busy every afternoon in season, so arrive early to secure a spot.

This is Alpbach's premier après-ski location in the village centre, operating since 1952. The Heffterhof attracts a lively crowd of skiers transitioning from mountain to village, with a fantastic covered terrace perfect for people-watching. The interior combines traditional Alpine décor with a modern sports bar feel, featuring multiple screens showing international sports. The atmosphere becomes increasingly festive as the afternoon progresses, with a mix of Austrian pop, international hits, and traditional music. It's particularly popular with groups and families due to its central location and welcoming vibe.

A rustic mountain hut located on the ridge between Alpbach and the neighbouring resort, Kuhstall offers a more intimate and traditional après-ski experience away from the larger crowds. The name translates to 'cow stall' and the venue maintains an authentically agricultural feel with old farm implements decorating the walls. The sun terrace provides stunning panoramic views of the Kitzbühel Alps. It's quieter than Alpbichl but equally enjoyable, perfect for those seeking a more relaxed vibe. The Schnapps selection here is exceptional, with many homemade varieties.

For a sophisticated evening option, DAS KERNS delivers an upscale wine bar experience in the heart of Alpbach. This modern venue offers an impressive selection of Austrian wines alongside international favourites, served in an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. The interior features exposed brick, soft lighting, and comfortable leather seating—quite different from the traditional ski resort aesthetic. It's perfect for couples seeking a romantic evening or groups wanting sophisticated conversation over quality drinks. The knowledgeable staff can guide you through the extensive Austrian wine list, which features renowned producers from Wachau, Burgenland, and Styria.

The closest thing Alpbach has to an authentic Irish pub, Bobby's provides a different vibe from the traditional Tyrolean venues. This rustic wooden pub offers live music several nights per week, ranging from acoustic sessions to full band performances. The crowd tends to be younger and more international than other Alpbach bars, with a mix of British and Irish holidaymakers and Austrian expats. The extensive whisky collection and well-poured pints attract those seeking a more familiar pub atmosphere. It's one of the few places in Alpbach that stays open until the early hours during peak season.

Located in a traditional chalet just off the main square, Alpine Lodge offers a refined evening alternative with an extensive cocktail menu and sophisticated atmosphere. The venue features a stunning outdoor fire pit area, perfect for colder evenings, alongside an elegant interior with low lighting and comfortable seating. The cocktail menu incorporates Alpine ingredients like elderflower, mountain herbs, and local spirits. It's popular with an older crowd and couples seeking a more intimate setting. The service is exceptional and the bar staff are true mixologists.
