The Greeks Beisl is one of the oldest restaurants in Vienna. According to the legend, the "Dear Augustin", a Viennese banker, bagpiper and impromptu poet, made music here. In 1679 he is said to have been found lying on the street after extensive carousing and to have been thrown into a plague pit near the church of St. Ulrich. When he gave another sign of life, they took him out and continued his life. He is remembered by an Augustin figure sitting under the doormat at the entrance to the pub, with money to be thrown in his hat.
