Parties and Clubs

Long live Heaven Vienna! Miss Candy, Austria's well-known drag queen and initiator of diverse party institutions, brings you the latest in house music, disco sounds and garage beats for a sweltering atmosphere among party-goers. www.heaven.at

The Why Not opens its doors each Friday and Saturday. The relatively small downtown gay club has been around for many years. It still busts out of its seams each weekend. Expect a hot night on the dance floor where all the popular house and dance hits are playing. www.why-not.at

The Up! Club has been in operation since 2010: Twice per month (always Fridays), lutz - der club swaps its usual tunes for house music. www.upclub.at 

G.Spot. This monthly party at the Camera Club appeals mostly to lesbians and gay friends. The focus of the music keeps changing from electronic to house, tribal, techno and other welcome diversions of the typical gay and lesbian club music. www.gspot.at

queer:beat. Gays, lesbians and friends can dance away to indie rock, electronic and chart music here. Four DJs on two dance floors fill the Viper Room with sound for the young and dance-crazy crowd. www.queerbeat.at

Vienna has its first Bear & Butch club in the form of the Pitbull. Since its opening in 2009, the Pitbull team has provided sweat-producing beats for that pure testosterone rush. www.pitbull-clubbing.at

New in recent months are: NITRO - explosive gay at Club Palffy (every second month), the Candy Club, the queer alternative-independent-electro party, the Bingo Techno Club, the OMG Society at Klub Kinsky, the FSK at Pratersauna and The Circus at the Arena.
