About this place Solaris

Solaris is a café-bar on OK-Platz in central Linz, attached to the OK Offenes Kulturhaus arts complex. It is a mainstream bar with an arts and student crowd, listed as gay-friendly; it is not a gay bar, despite what some older listings said. It works well for a coffee during the day or drinks before a concert or exhibition at the culture quarter. The Landstraße shopping street is a couple of minutes away. Linz's small gay scene is spread across a few bars and regular parties, so check local listings for those. Opening hours are not on file here; see the bar's website.

Great bar/club. Fantastic staff, good beer selection, and a cool atmosphere. Parties are fun (though free, so don't expect too much – but the vibe can be really good), and it's also nice to just pop in for a relaxing drink. Plus, you can order food from the Yellow Crocodile Restaurant. I'd also like to commend the professional, discreet, and friendly security. Unfortunately, they don't accept card payments, and you have to walk through the smoking area to get in.

It's alright, but the fact that they can't keep their program up-to-date on the website or at least on social media is ridiculous. So, if in doubt, don't go. Or have you not had a program since the beginning of June?

Apparently, two drinks were still unpaid at the end of the evening. Although these had demonstrably already been paid for, the staff showed little understanding. Furthermore, the fact that they only accepted cash leaves a slightly unpleasant aftertaste.
