Nightlife in Vienna

Have you seen Vienna at night? Let’s get ready to party – at Boutiquehotel Stadthalle

A vacation in Vienna means a wide range of experiences, from sophisticated nights at the Opera to the more casual, underground scene

Back in 1985, Reinhard Fendrich celebrated Vienna's nightlife in his song "Have You Ever Seen Vienna at Night?" (Haben Sie Wien schon bei Nacht gesehen?)" The capital's party scene has only grown even larger than life since then.
Whether you prefer a white wine spritzer in a cozy ambiance, an excellent cocktail in one of the city's many clubs, or an evening in a sophisticated bar – Vienna is a cosmopolitan city with the nightlife to match.

For visitors who want to see more of Vienna than its arts & culture, there are plenty of other options: big events like the Rainbow Parade or the Danube Island Festival – the largest outdoor music festival in Europe – invite you to have a good time, as do the many, smaller underground clubs, pubs, and bars, where Austrian and international acts perform all year long.
The famous Museumsquartier and the row of venues along the Gürtelbögen are easily accessible from Boutiquehotel Stadthalle. In the summer months, the Danube canal is also a prime party destination.

We've put together a list of a few of the most famous clubs in the city, just to give you a brief overview. But as with any other city, there are always exciting new openings and secret tips we're happy to share with you at the reception desk.
