21 Mariahilfer GürtelBackpacker's bar, young crowd. If that's your thing...
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.

Bar inside a theater – great atmosphere! Crowd 30ish and not in shirt/hoodie, but not super dressed up either.
