enjoy the DJ's tunes. Its breakfast, served between 9am and 3pm daily, caters to a hun-
gover clientele; Sunday features a sumptuous breakfast buffet.
Flex
(
www.flex.at
;
01, Augartenbrücke; 9pm-6am Mon-Sat; Schottenring, 1, 2 Schottenring)
Flex has
been attracting a more mainstream crowd than it did in its early days but it still manages
to retain a semblance of its former edginess. The sound system is without equal in Vi-
enna, entry price generally reasonable and dress code unheard of. The monthly DJ line-
up features local legends and international names, and live acts are commonplace.
CLUB
Tunnel
CAFE
(
www.tunnel-vienna-live.at
;
08, Florianigasse 39; 10am-1am, to 2am Fri & Sat; ; Rathaus, 2 Le-
derergasse)
This laid-back, boho-flavoured cafe attracts students, arty types and all-comers.
By day it's a relaxed spot to grab one of the worn wooden tables and flick through the pa-
pers over a coffee or €5 lunch special. By night the mood cranks up a notch with (mostly
free) gigs at 9pm, skipping from rock to indie, Latin to contemporary jazz.
U4
(
www.u-4.at
;
12, Schönbrunner Strasse 222; 8pm-late Mon, from 10pm Tue-Sun; Meidling Hauptstrasse)
U4 was the birthplace of techno clubbing in Vienna way back when, and its longevity is a
testament to its ability to roll with the times. A fairly young, studenty crowd are its cur-
rent regulars, and while the music isn't as cutting edge as it used to be, it still manages to
please the masses.
CLUB
Roxy
(
www.roxyclub.org
;
04, Operngasse 24; 11pm-4am Thu-Sat; Karlsplatz, D, 1, 2 Kärntner Ring/Oper)
A
seminal club for years, Roxy still manages to run with the clubbing pack, and sometimes
leads the way. DJs from Vienna's electronica scene regularly guest on the turntables and
most nights it's hard to find a space on the small dance floor. Expect a crowded, but very
good, night out here.
