About this place Why Not

Why Not is a gay club on Tiefer Graben in Vienna's Innere Stadt, one of the city's longest-running gay dance venues. It is a basement-style club with a bar and dancefloor, playing mostly chart, pop and house to a crowd that is mainly gay men, with a mixed queer contingent and plenty of tourists. It opens only on Friday and Saturday from 22:00 to 04:00, and it fills late, usually after midnight. Prices are moderate for central Vienna. Google reviews are mixed at 3.7, with complaints mostly about door staff and crowding, so set expectations at a reliable weekend club rather than a destination night. The location is a short walk from Stephansplatz and the U-Bahn at Herrengasse.

Unfriendly staff... especially the doorman, who is incredibly misanthropic and arrogant. Never again...
