Drinks & Nightlife

Charming tiny café and bar – my favorite! Opposite the "Flakturm", a massive air defense tower from World War 2 that now hosts a aquatic zoo.

My favorite small club in Vienna – it's like entering an alternate reality: No sign at the door, beautiful architecture (building used to be synagogue), changing dazzling wall projections every day, indoor street-food stall. Techno music, more chatting than dancing, crowd in their mid-20s. No cover.
