The bar “La Copa” has become an integral part of
Innsbruck’s local scene.
The business started in 1984 with a Latin American
flair and the legendary Spanish country wine
served “straight” from the oak barrel. Just one year
later, alongside many regular guests, they had the
honor of hosting the king of flamenco guitar, Paco
de Lucia, with his group.
He was followed by a number of flamenco stars,
such as Pedro Soler, Paco Peña, Juan Manuel
Cañizares and Vicente Amigo, who often ended
their evenings at owner Gerhard’s place - where
the guitars usually don’t get much rest.
Jose Feliciano, Los Duendes Paraguayos, and
Los Reyes (Gipsy Kings) also felt right at home
in the more than 800-year-old vaulted cellar.
Current superstar Semino Rossi first came to the
venue in 1985, recommended by fellow musicians
in southern Spain. Until 2001 (for 16 years), he
regularly enchanted guests - mostly on
Wednesdays - with his unmistakable voice and his
interpretations of Latino hits and self-made
compositions, embodying the Latin American
lifestyle and joy for music. He also shaped the
neighboring venue “La Cabana”, where even
today, talented musicians perform their best every
Tuesday at the “Open Mic” night for an
appreciative audience.
This joy for life attracted top Tyrolean and
Austrian athletes as well - even world
champions and Olympic gold medalists
celebrated their victories at “La Copa”.
The Austrian football championship title was also
celebrated twice at La Copa with FC Tirol, whose
players were regular guests under Ernst Happel.
‚It is almost taken for granted, that the now
legendary “Club of Masters” (Athletes Helping
Athletes) was born at “La Copa” in 1988. Its
members include world champions, Olympic gold
medalists, national champions, and patrons who
made it their mission to support athletes with
disabilities.
For many years, we have been hosting our
Karaoke Parties at La Copa, which have since
become one of the highlights of Innsbruck’s Old
Town.
If karaoke gets too much, guests can wind down
the evening at the opposite La Cabana with house,
reggaeton, Latin music, and party hits.
