What reviewers say

Visitors praise Sling as a pleasant and private cruising lounge with a relaxed atmosphere, excellent lighting, and a diverse, discreet clientele that makes for interesting encounters. However, some guests report unfriendly and unwelcoming staff, with one reviewer specifically mentioning an "unacceptable" treatment of gay customers, and another finding the drinks overpriced and the overall experience uncomfortable.

About this place Sling

Sling is a gay cruising bar on Kettenbrückengasse in Wieden, Vienna's 4th district, a short walk from the Naschmarkt and the gay bars of the Mariahilf/Wieden area. It's a men's bar with a bar area and a play area at the back. It runs long hours: 15:00 to 04:00 every day, with a short break on Sunday evening. The afternoon and early-evening hours make it quieter than most cruising venues at night, and busier earlier than you might expect. Reviews are mixed (3.6 from about 140). Usual cruising-bar etiquette applies: no means no, and bring your own condoms. The Kettenbrückengasse U4 station is right outside.

A really pleasant cruising lounge with plenty of privacy, but not too pretentious. The staff is always friendly and easygoing, and the drinks are delicious. I've been coming here for years, and it never gets boring because there are always new people.

From the "who's who" to ordinary guests who simply want to have a good time, this mix is ​​precisely what makes it so special – a wonderful place for new encounters.

The rush hour information from Google Maps is mostly accurate and can be used as a guide for getting there.

I've been going to Sling regularly for months and always feel welcome. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the lighting is excellent. The bar is clean and the clientele is pleasantly mixed – simply a great place for curious men.
