The rough look of the minimalistic interior is the intended concept. It’s the kind of place that’s commonplace in cities like Berlin, but unique in Vienna. The music is too loud for a chat, and while you don’t really come here for dancing, the atmosphere will get you in the right mood for a night that doesn’t have to end here, but can – at the bar next to a stranger or on stool at a table filled with friends: the drinks are tasty, the company is young, pretty and open-minded.
What kind of night will you have?
You will either find a relaxed evening, or you will come here to warm up and get a few drinks into you before heading into a night of music and dancing. There are a lot of other clubs and bars in the area, so you don’t have to walk far for the next place. Though staying here for the night is never a bad idea. The bar will fill up just when you think about calling it a night. And the quick and friendly barkeepers will always convince you to order another beer, or tasty long drink.
Music: electronic; starts out more as ambient music, becomes louder and more intense later on in the night.
