First Floor anchors the Bermuda Triangle on Seitenstettengasse with a giant planted aquarium behind the counter and an Eichinger oder Knechtl interior, running over 300 cocktails and a live jazz set on Thursday evenings.
TipClimb the staircase from Seitenstettengasse; the bar is on the first floor as the name promises. Thursday jazz draws a packed counter.
Eden has run on Liliengasse since 1916, kept by the Schimanko family for nearly five decades, with a live band, parquet dancefloor and a guestbook that once held Romy Schneider, Liz Taylor and Helmut Newton.
TipLive band most evenings from 21:00; book a table for the dancefloor. Closed Sunday to Tuesday; Wednesday is reserved for special events.
Why Not opened on Tiefer Graben in 1980 as the oldest queer dance club in Vienna, with three floors, a darkroom and a regular weekend rotation of drag and go-go nights pulling a mixed gay and straight crowd from the 1st district.
TipFree entry before midnight Friday and Saturday; the dancefloor fills after 01:00. ID checks at the door, ages 18 plus.
Needle Vinyl Bar plays only vinyl in a small 1st district room near the Judenplatz, with a shelf of around 800 second-hand records, two Pro-Ject turntables and a bar that runs into the early hours.
TipGuests can browse the shelf and pick a record to play themselves. Sister location at Barnabitengasse 8 in the 6th district runs the same format.
