Austrian Nightlife and other Vienna, Austria Nightlife Tips

Nightlife Spot: NIght Clubs & bars

I had no idea that Vienna would have such a cool nightlife. The people from my hostel wanted to have a few nights on the town while they waited for their Czech visas to arrive, and I was in the midst of enjoying all things Vienna, so I definitely wanted to tag along. One night was dedicated to Mozart and Strauss, but I won't write about that in a nightlife tip, but the other two nights were nights of unending fun. Vienna nightlife; a true surprise to me!

The first nightclub we went to was Flex. We had seen signs all over town about an MTV hosted party, and figured that it might be the best event. The problem was that it was going on at 5 clubs at once! One ticket got you entrance into all of them. We chose Flex, because it was listed in our guidebooks and it's proximity. Turned out to be a great choice. The nightclub was packed and the music rangd from hard trance to very little house. My kind of dance music. Needless to say, we never tried the other clubs; all of us were having WAY too much fun where we were. I don't know if it like that every night, or if it was just good for the MTV thing, but it is worth going to.

Its location is real unique, as you have to walk down to the riverside canal and its sort of an undergound, hidden club. Very cool place.

One thing that I learned on my trip, is that every city in the world has an Irish bar. No matter where I went I saw one. I'd have to say that this was the best of the lot, with all due respect to the one in Barcelona, which I can't remember the name of...

Anyway, this is a great, typical Irish bar with all the usual amenities: Guiness, dark wood decor flanked by various green shamrocks. What more do you need in an Irish bar? Drinks were good adn the atmosphere was great.

The only drawback was the smoke; but thats every bar in Europe, so get used to it.
