Best Nightlife in St. Anton am Arlberg, ranked

1.

MooserWirt

4.4 / 5 out of 2019 Google Maps reviews

Open daily from 11:00 in winter, with lunch until 15:00 and the apres-ski block from 15:00 to 20:00, MooserWirt is the most predictable party in the valley: two resident DJs, Gerhard and Tom, and a kitchen running until 19:00. It has operated since 1989 at Unterer Mooserweg 2, on the home run above the village. Nothing here runs past 20:00, so treat it as the opening act.

2.

Krazy Kanguruh

4.3 / 5 out of 752 Google Maps reviews

Krazy Kanguruh opened in 1965 and has been owned by double world champion Mario Matt since 2009. Winter hours run 10:00 to 20:00 daily at Mooserweg 19, below Galzig at the junction of runs 29 and 50. The old hut was demolished and fully rebuilt for the 2025/26 season, adding a glass winter garden, a raised DJ booth and a proper kitchen. Australia Day on 26 January remains the standout date.

3.

Postkeller

4.8 / 5 out of 15 Google Maps reviews

The cellar club under the Hotel Post at Dorfstrasse 13 is where the village goes once the mountain bars shut. Postkeller serves from 16:00 and the night programme starts at 21:30, running into the early hours across multiple rooms, from decade hits to techno. It is operated by Alber Hotel Post GmbH and promoted alongside Piccadilly. Winter only, and rooms upstairs mean a very short walk home.

Best for: After midnight

4.

Piccadilly Live Music Bar

Piccadilly has run live music in the village since 1981 and starts at 21:00 nightly in winter, which fills the gap between the 20:00 mountain close and the clubs. The format is a resident band plus a DJ singing slot, entry is listed as free, and guests report about 30% off drinks in the first hour. It adjoins Postkeller, so you can switch between band and dance floor.

Best for: Live bands

5.

Bobo's

Bobo's at Dorfstrasse 60 runs 17:00 to 03:00 daily with a DJ every night, the longest published shift of any venue on this list. The Mexican and US menu is priced from EUR 10 to EUR 31, which makes it one of the few places to eat properly mid-evening inside the pedestrian zone. It is also the venue most often named for a turn at the microphone, since the resort has no dedicated karaoke bar.

Best for: Latest close at 03:00

6.

Bar Cuba

3.6 / 5 out of 114 Google Maps reviews

Bar Cuba at Dorfstrasse 33 opens daily at 16:00 and closes at 02:00, with happy hour Monday to Friday from 16:00 to 18:00. Seven screens cover Six Nations rugby, Premier League football and cricket, and there is table football and a pool table for the gaps between matches. It is the best-documented option for a night with conversation, not a dance floor.

Best for: Live sport

7.

Murrmel Bar

4.3 / 5 out of 500 Google Maps reviews

Murrmel sits in the village centre, opens early after the lifts and closes late, with live guitar sets from regular performer Gunar Franzoi and a small club room downstairs. It also trades in summer, which almost none of the party venues do. Expect a compact floor and a mix of visitors and seasonal workers rather than the scale of the Hotel Post cellars.

Visitor note (Google Maps) "Great bar with many great live music acts"

Best for: Year-round live guitar

When does a night out in St. Anton actually start?

Earlier than most people expect. Krazy Kanguruh opens at 10:00 in winter and MooserWirt from 11:00, and both stop serving at 20:00. The crowd builds on the terraces from roughly 15:00, when MooserWirt switches from its full lunch menu to the apres-ski menu and the DJs take over. That leaves a two-hour gap in the village before the evening venues open.

The second act begins at 21:00, when Piccadilly starts its live music, and at 21:30, when the Postkeller programme kicks off. Bar Cuba opens at 16:00 and runs to 02:00, and Bobo's covers 17:00 to 03:00. In practice, a full night in St. Anton means three venues: a mountain bar, a village bar, then a cellar.

What does a night out cost in St. Anton?

St. Anton is not a cheap resort for drinking. One long-running UK ski blog ranks it as Europe's second-most expensive resort for apres-ski, quoting EUR 39.70 for five drinks. Typical village prices sit around EUR 4 to EUR 7 for a beer and EUR 12 to EUR 15 for a cocktail in the clubs, with happy hours clustered in the 16:00 to 18:00 window.

The scheduled discounts are worth planning around. Bar Cuba runs happy hour Monday to Friday from 16:00 to 18:00. Piccadilly guests report roughly 30% off in the first hour after the 21:00 opening, and the slope-side Taps happy hour is quoted at 15:30 to 16:30. Food is the other lever: MooserWirt's kitchen runs to 19:00, and Bobo's serves mains from EUR 10 to EUR 31 until late.

Where do you go after the mountain bars close at 20:00?

The village takes over. Postkeller, in the cellar of the Hotel Post at Dorfstrasse 13, runs its night programme from 21:30 across several rooms, with music ranging from decade hits to techno. Piccadilly, operating since 1981, opens the live music at 21:00 in the same complex, so the two work as a pair rather than as rivals.

Beyond the Hotel Post block, the Kandahar sits in the car-free zone and books international DJs for the later shift, while Murrmel keeps a small club room under its live music bar. For something quieter, Bar Cuba stays on until 02:00 with seven sport screens, and Bobo's, in the pedestrian zone, runs a DJ until 03:00.

What changed at the Krazy Kanguruh?

The original 1965 building is gone. Krazy Kanguruh was bulldozed, with the demolition documented on its own social channels, and the site below Galzig at the junction of runs 29 and 50 was cleared entirely. The rebuilt venue opened for the 2025/26 season and now includes a glass winter garden, an elevated DJ booth and a full kitchen.

The operating model has not changed much: winter hours of 10:00 to 20:00, afternoon DJ sets, and the terrace above the village. Mario Matt, the double world champion and Olympic slalom champion, has owned the bar since 2009. Theme days still anchor the calendar, with Australia Day on 26 January and St Patrick's Day on 17 March the two busiest.

How do you plan a night out without ruining the next ski day?

  1. Eat on the mountain before 15:00

    Mountain kitchens close early. MooserWirt serves its full menu from 11:00 to 15:00 and keeps the kitchen open until 19:00, and the rebuilt Krazy Kanguruh added a proper kitchen in 2025. A substantial lunch between 11:00 and 14:00 is the standard advice before the 15:00 apres-ski block, because drinks at altitude hit harder and the next food stop may be four hours away.

  2. Carry cash for the slope-side venues

    Mountain bars in St. Anton are frequently cash-only or card-averse, so draw money in the village before the lifts. This matters most between 15:00 and 20:00, when queues at the bar are long and payment problems cost you the round.

  3. Ski the home run before dark, or walk it

    Krazy Kanguruh and MooserWirt both sit on the piste above the village, and both close at 20:00. That means a descent after several hours of drinking, in the dark. Judge it honestly before the last round, and take the walk or a lift down if the answer is no.

  4. Check where the night bus actually goes

    Village buses run every 10 to 15 minutes in the morning and afternoon, but night services do not reach upper Nasserein. If your accommodation is above the village, confirm the last connection before the 21:30 club start, or book somewhere in the pedestrian zone, where Bobo's, Bar Cuba and the Hotel Post venues are within a short walk.

  5. Stack the venues in time order

    The efficient sequence is a mountain bar from 15:00 to 20:00, a village bar at 21:00, then a cellar club from 21:30. Bar Cuba until 02:00 and Bobo's until 03:00 set the outer limit. Lifts open early on the Arlberg, so a 03:00 finish is a decision about the whole of the following day.

What if St. Anton's party scene is too loud for you?

The Arlberg has quieter corners within a short bus or taxi ride. Lech and Zurs cater to a different budget, with the K.Club hidden inside the Hotel Krone and the Zurserl aimed at the luxury end, while Stuben's Fuxbau trades party volume for sunset views and an Alpine interior. None of these run the 21:30-to-dawn format of the Postkeller.

Inside St. Anton itself, the small end of the market is thin but real: Pub 37 seats about 37 people and pours Guinness, ale, gin and whiskey, and Bar Cuba keeps conversation-level volume until 02:00. Murrmel, unusually, also trades in summer. If your priority is sleep rather than Schlager, book away from Dorfstrasse and the Hotel Post block.
