7 editor picks in Vienna.
7 dance clubs in Vienna our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Vienna nightlife.
Grelle Forelle opened in December 2011 on the Donaukanal under the Spittelauer Lände stairs, with two floors, a custom Funktion-One rig and a Neon Golden light concept that anchor the harder end of Vienna techno.
Tip21+ on the door, phones not allowed on the floors. Arrive after 01:00 for the proper room; the upper floor opens for breaks.
Flex moved into a disused U-Bahn tunnel by the Donaukanal under the Augartenbrücke in 1995, and it still books the harder techno, drum and bass and alternative concerts on a sound system regularly named among Europe's best.
TipTwo rooms: Flex Club proper for the techno and drum and bass nights, the Cafe upstairs for earlier alternative gigs and a slower start.
Volksgarten runs in a 1950s Oswald Haerdtl pavilion inside the Hofburg gardens, splitting the night across a Wintergarten, the main disco floor and the Banco lounge, with a summer garden running through the warm months.
TipThe summer garden Volksgarten Pavillon opens evenings from May for cocktails before the club. Weekend door queues are slow after 00:30.
Fluc occupies the pedestrian passageway under Praterstern station with the Fluc cafe above and the concrete Fluc_Wanne basement below, running concerts, art and the harder techno bookings of the 2nd district.
TipCafe upstairs runs free entry most nights; tickets only for the basement Fluc_Wanne. U1 and U2 connect at Praterstern.
Das Werk has run in the raw Stadtbahn arches next to Grelle Forelle since 2006, programmed by a cultural association as the rougher, improvised counterweight to its polished neighbour, with the Viennese underground at the decks.
TipCash bar; arrive after 01:00 for the proper room. Walk between Das Werk and Grelle Forelle on a single night for the full Spittelauer Lände spread.
Camera Club sits at the foot of Neubaugasse just off Mariahilfer Strasse, with two dancefloors that book a steady rotation of house, electro, techno, funk and dubstep nights inside a former cinema basement.
Tip18 plus on the door; queue before midnight for guestlist rates. Mariahilfer Strasse U3 is two minutes away.
Donau hides behind a grey metal door on Karl-Schweighofer-Gasse between Mariahilfer Strasse and the MuseumsQuartier, running cheap drinks and underground electronic bookings across minimal, house and dubstep nights.
TipNo sign on the door; ring for entry. Open seven nights; weeknights pull a local crowd over a cheaper bar.
