Lutz
Technically open during the day as a cafe and restaurant, evening is when to hit this modern, open space – try to snag a seat at the floor-to-ceiling windows gazing down to busy Mariahilfer Strasse below. A bar for everybody and any age, it boasts a fab location in the heart of the shopping district, and on weekends a subterranean club opens from 9.30pm, playing anything from house to disco.

Chelsea
Chelsea is the old, ratty dog on the Gürtel and is very much a favourite of the student/alternative scene. Posters and underground paraphernalia adorn walls, and DJs spin loud sounds (usually indie, sometimes techno) when live acts aren’t playing. British and Irish beers are on tap, quite the crowd-pleaser when English premier league and Champions league football games are broadcast.

Rhiz
Rhiz’s decor of brick arches and glass walls is reminiscent of so many bars beneath the U6 line, but its status as a stalwart of the city’s electronica scene gives it the edge over much of the competition. Black-clad boozers and an alternative set cram the interior during winter to hear DJs and live acts, while in summer the large outdoor seating area fills to overflowing.

Futuregarden Bar & Art Club
With white walls, an open bar and basic furniture, it’s hard to find a simpler place in Vienna. Its one piece of decoration – apart from the occasional art exhibition by local artists – is its rectangular disco ‘ball’, which swings from the ceiling. Futuregarden attracts a late 20s and 30s crowd with a cool atmosphere and electric sounds.

Tanzcafé Jenseits
The red-velvet interior that might be out of a ’70s bordello is a soothing backdrop for a night out at Jenseits. The tiny dance floor fills to overflowing on Fridays and Saturdays with relaxed revellers slowly moving around each other to soul and funk.

Club U
Club U occupies one of Otto Wagner’s Stadtbahn Pavillons on Karlsplatz. It’s a small, student-infested bar/club with regular DJs and a wonderful outdoor seating area overlooking the pavilions and park.

B72
Fringe live acts, alternative beats and album launches are the mainstay of B72’s entertainment line-up, which collectively attracts a predominantly youthful crowd. Its tall glass walls and arched brick interior are typical of most bars along the Gürtel, as is the thick, smoky air and grungy appearance. Its name comes from its address, Bogen (arch) 72.
