    Szene Wien

    Szene Wien tops the list of Vienna’s small concert venues. Intimate and friendly, it’s a superb place to catch international bands without fighting off the crowds. Concerts cover the music spectrum; rock, reggae, funk, jazz and world music have all been heard within these walls.

    Miles Smiles

    One of two bars in town named after legend Miles Davis, Miles Smiles is for the discerning jazz fan who likes to see the whites of the artist’s eyes. Live acts are irregular but always enthralling, and the atmosphere enthusiastic and energetic.

    Kamot

    This jazz joint has a warm pub atmosphere and a bar where you can sit and chat into the late hours. It hosts some of the top national jazz names on the pub circuit, but it’s a nice place for a drink anytime.

    Café Carina

    Small, smoky, and pleasantly dingy, Carina is a muso’s and drinker’s bar. Local bands perform most nights, only a few feet from a normally enthusiastic audience, and the music is invariably folk, jazz or country.
