Parties and Clubs
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
"Occident meets Orient and Poland is there too", is how organiser, Sabrina Andersrum, sums up her monthly Balkan clubbing BallCanCan. The criss-cross mixture of guests dance to Balkan-Pop and Turbo-Folk. www.facebook.com/BallCanCan
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
queer:beat. LGBTIQ+ people and friends can dance away to indie rock, electronic and chart music here. Several DJs play for the young, dance-crazy crowd. www.queerbeat.at
At the regularly held Ken Club, a mainly young crowd dances to pop and chart hits. www.kenclub.at
G.Spot. The monthly party, perhaps the most iconic there is, is aimed at lesbians as well as gays, and offers changing aspects of electronic music plus a contrasting musical program on two floors. www.gspot.at
The Circus is a huge gay spectacle that is held at irregular intervals (twice to four times per year). International top DJs and spectacular shows attract the party animals. www.thecircus.at
