At the heart of the bustling city centre, up here at the First Floor bar, it feels like
00:17
an oasis, and it’s an excellent place to start a night out.
00:21
It might be a long night, because Vienna has so much to offer.
00:25
Countless bars, clubs, and music venues, large and small.
00:30
My name is Chris Cummins.
00:32
Join me for a night out in Vienna. Cheers.
01:03
Another great place to stop by for a drink
01:06
is Miranda’s in the sixth district. Not only does it look pretty cool,
01:10
it’s got very charming waiting staff and they serve some very fancy drinks.
01:15
I’ve taken a Kerala Express. One of Miranda’s home creations.
01:20
This one is made with homemade curry syrup, lime juice, mango juice, and a Saint James, and a Goslings rum.
01:29
And it really is fantastic.
01:40
The Albertina Passage is a re-constructed pedestrian subway,
01:44
right next to the Vienna State Opera. Here you’ll find sophisticated cuisine
01:49
and live jazz music in a setting that is quite futuristic.
02:01
As we all know, a good party needs a good DJ,
02:05
and Vienna’s vibrant music scene plays a large part in the city’s nightlife.
02:16
My name is Daniel
02:17
Hello, my name is Gregor and we are Ogris Debris.
02:22
Our music is heavily influenced by
02:25
house music and techno music, but we also draw our influences from other
02:29
stylistics like jazz music or pop music, so we’re very open-minded.
02:42
Vienna is a very highly cultural rich city.
02:47
There’s a lot going on in the music scene of course.
02:50
Variety and the quality of DJs or live acts and bands has become pretty good and there is a lot of options to choose from.
03:01
A good DJ is a good DJ when the person is able to
03:06
find out if the crowd is in the mood for this or that.
03:09
It’s like a bit of a dialogue and
03:11
if you’re a good DJ you are able to build from that,
03:13
and then if you’re a really good DJ you’re able to tell a story with the stuff that you play.
03:21
Something that’s quite unique about Vienna
03:22
in terms of going out is that you can go and have a coffee at 4 in the afternoon
03:28
and the whole place can transform from like a bar or a coffeehouse
03:32
into like a, sort of like a club thing with a little dance floor,
03:36
and you can like basically stay in the same place from afternoon until morning.
03:39
That’s usually something that you can’t find in other cities.
03:42
You can have a really nice time in Vienna , I guess.
03:53
Personally, I really like the Porgy & Bess a lot,
03:56
because I’m a big jazz fan and I really
03:58
like the atmosphere there, I really feel good in there,
04:01
and it was even voted one of the best ten jazz clubs in Europe.
04:11
One of my favourite places in Vienna would be the Fluc,
04:15
a very relaxed and usually free entry area on top and a nightclub in the basement.
04:30
One of my favourite places would also be Cafe Leopold in the Museumsquartier,
04:34
because it has a nice and relaxed cafe plus a cool nightclub,
04:37
and we’re going to celebrate the release party for our debut album Constant Spring there.
04:50
One of my favourites is also the club called Celeste,
04:53
also a very open-minded atmosphere where a lot of different nights happen, and it’s maybe a bit more underground.
05:11
The Flex is a popular nightclub right next to the Danube canal.
05:15
Its sound-system is widely considered to be one of the best in Europe.
05:19
Many top international and Austrian acts and DJs perform here.
05:31
One place you wouldn’t maybe immediately imagine would be a big venue for parties is the Vienna City Hall.
05:38
But from time to time, clubbings for electronic music transform the impressive building on the Ringstrasse into a dance temple.
05:56
Vienna City Hall was constructed between 1872 and 1883.
06:02
It houses the office of the mayor of Vienna, as well as the chambers of the city and the municipal council.
06:10
If you look closely on the top of the central tower, you can spot the iron Rathausmann overlooking the city.
06:17
There’s a copy of the statue in front of the building.
06:24
Numerous events are held inside and in front of Vienna City Hall, including the Life Ball.
06:35
Its impressive state rooms frequently provide an atmospheric backdrop to press conferences, concerts, clubbings, and balls.
06:47
And if you’re looking for a place for the biggest day of your life,
06:51
you can even make your marriage vows in the beautiful neo-Gothic ambience of Vienna City Hall.
07:21
Well, this has been such a wonderful night so far,
07:23
but it’s way past my bedtime. It’s time I should go home, so it just leaves me to say to you:
07:28
please subscribe to our channel, and I’ll see you very soon! Goodbye.
