PHIL BAR & BOOKSTORE, VIENNA

 

David de Goede: ‘Founder Christian Schädel started out as a journalist, writing about films, music and books. He got tired of that. He wanted to create a living room, ‘a home away from home’, and he succeeded. Everywhere you look you find seating areas with vintage designer furniture, and there is a pleasant bar: the place for parties, Tinder dates and family reunions.’ ‘Phil is not the internet, it’s real life,’ Schädel said.
