Das DonauTechno – Unique Bars

Unique Factor: So many things make this place unique! Every night of the week there is a different underground DJ spinning records at this legendary place that prides itself on its sound system. The high walls are flooded by a special visual light installation that changes regularly. The drinks are cheap and good and the place even hosts the only indoor Würstelstand (sausage stand) in the city.

Considered a local institution for Techno music, Das Donau is a well hidden place behind the Museumsquartier, with no signs, or branding outside to draw attention to it. To find it, should just turn up at the address and walk through its thick metal door. The first impact as you walk in is truly surprising: a huge space with high ceilings and arches that remind you of a church, flooded in bold light decorations and a laid back atmosphere. There’s typically a DJ playing sets of Techno, Electronic or Dubstep, 7 nights a week. On some nights, you will find this place packed with people dancing and bouncing while on the quiet nights, you’ll find small groups of friends enjoying drinks and a chat. This is surely one of the best places for a unique experience on a weeknight, in a city that isn’t famous for “never sleeping.”
