What reviewers say

Visitors praise Forty Nine as a brilliant LGBTQ+ bar with a warm, exuberant atmosphere, creative drinks, and a diverse, open crowd that makes them feel at home. However, a common complaint is the persistent and excessive noise, both inside and from people smoking and shouting outside, which disrupts residents.

About this place Forty Nine

Forty Nine is the bar run by HOSI Linz, the city's long-standing LGBTQ+ association, at Schillerstraße 49 near the city centre. It's a small community bar where people come to talk over a drink, not a dance venue. In a city with very few gay bars, it's one of the main places to meet the local scene. No hours are listed. Bars run by associations often open only on certain evenings, and HOSI's other events can change the schedule, so check the HOSI Linz website before you go.

A lovely LGBTQ bar where you can tell the people helping out are doing it with heart.

Unfortunately, there is no darkroom or other easy option here, only a bar.

Simply brilliant! The moment you step inside, you're enveloped by color, music, and good vibes. The drinks are creative, the crowd is diverse and open, and the atmosphere is both warm and exuberant. Amidst the glitter, drag shows, and spontaneous conversations, you immediately feel at home. If you're looking for genuine spirit, you absolutely must check it out; you'll rarely find this much joie de vivre. Very reasonable prices.
