Stunningly lit disco club on the Ringstrasse. Best 70s and 80s hits are played on Tuesdays for "Bachelor Club" night. The "Cosmopolitan Club" on Wednesdays brings R'n'B and House music to the dance floor. Thursday is "Between Club" night: anything from old-time German sing-a-longs to 90s hits. There's house music at Friday night's "Club Fusion"; and on Saturdays the "Sunshine Club" promises premium dance music at its best.
Guests over the years have included Prince, Kurt Cobain, Johnny Depp and Courtney Love; Falco was a regular. After a 6-month renovation at the end of 2005, U4 added the newest technology and regained its former glory. Mondays swap between Italo-club and 80s night; Tuesdays are student nights; Wednesdays feature live gigs by local bands; Thursday is rock night; Fridays are for the house club; and on Saturdays you can catch disco-fever.
Situated in the Millenium City on the banks of the Danube and easy to reach by train or underground, this is for party-people. There are 2 dance floors: the Danceclub for dance-hits old and new, and the Talstation which simulates an Apres-Ski atmosphere. Every Wednesday there's the After-Job-Party with entry and buffet, and a cocktail happy-hour from 6pm to 10pm. Thursday is ladies' night, and Saturday is singles night when over 25s get a free bottle of Prosecco.
Once alternative, now pretty mainstream, always hugely popular. Don't go to chat: the music system is famous for its quality and decibel output. DJs playing techno, house, etc. and there are occasional live acts. Garden next to the Danube Canal with a Würstelstand (hot-dog stand) in summer.
Based on the concept of flexibility and mobility, the program ranges from reggae night on Tuesday to hip-hop & R'n'B night on Saturday. You can swing your hips on "Salsa Afterwork" Thursdays or look out for and go along to a one-off event. It is a great location: wander through the peaceful, manicured gardens between the Burgtheater and the Hofburg during the day, and return at night to one of the liveliest atmospheres in the city.
