Palais Palffy
This 550-sq-metre club occupies two floors of an illustrious old building used for live-music performances. The 1st-floor lounge bar – set with thousands of miniature glittering gemstones below a 12m chandelier with 80,000 Swarovski crystals – stocks more than 700 spirits. Less glittery is the luxurious upstairs dance floor. Thursday is mixed electronic and pop, Friday features house, and the Jetlag Club (oldies, current dance) comes to town on Saturday.

Pratersauna
Pool, cafe, bistro and club converge in a former sauna – these days, you’ll sweat it up on the dance floor any given night. Pratersauna hosts light installations and performance art to check out before or after you groove to electronica spinned by international DJs. On warm nights it all spills out onto the terrace, gardens and pool – if you need to cool down, nobody bats an eye if you take a quick dip.

Ost Klub
Ost Klub hooks right into the wave of European clubs with an Eastern European and Balkan flavour; you can see a Georgian choir going through its paces one night and hear kletzmer, turbo folk, world music or lounge and electronic the next in a mixture of turntable and live sounds in its ‘Klub’ and ‘Kantine’ rooms.

Camera Club
Decked out with orange-walled seating inherited from the 1970s, the Camera Club gets Vienna’s top DJs and has even morphed into the wintering ground for one of the country’s most innovative – DJ Tibcurl and the Icke Micke Club. A live band usually plays the first Wednesday of each month from about 10pm.

Roxy
A seminal club for years, Roxy still manages to run with the clubbing pack, and sometimes leads the way. DJs from Vienna’s electronica scene regularly guest on the turntables and most nights it’s hard to find a space on the small dance floor. Expect a crowded, but very good, night out here.

Alte AKH
Also during the summer months, party-goers congregate at Copa Kagrana and Sunken City, an area around the U1 Donauinsel U-Bahn station. It's quite a tacky affair, but it can be a lot of fun. Summer Stage and the Alte AKH also wage war against the threat of melting indoors.

Dom im Berg
The tunnels under Schlossberg were once used as air-raid shelters. Today, some of them have been refashioned into a large art-clubbing venue. The sound system and light show are the best in Graz. See the website for opening times.

Goodmann
A tiny club attracting clubbers who want to dance into the morning, Goodmann serves food upstairs (until 8am) and hides its night owls, who are an eclectic mix of old and young (but always in a merry state), downstairs.

Why Not?
Why Not? is one of the few clubs focusing its attention solely on the gay scene. The small club quickly fills up with mainly young guys out for as much fun as possible.
