brut: A theater with a dancefloor

Housing regular party events, as well as live music (with a focus on freaky and experimental) – partly in the bar, partly in a big-ass hall – it has become an big character in the city’s nightlife. It’s in the centre (1st district, next to Staatsoper), attracts a late-twenties-to-mid-thirties crowd and has moderate drink prices.

What kind of night will you have?
The parties at brut never fail to leave an impression. You might run into familiar faces, but coming here on a regular basis never gets boring. The DJs vary, but mostly keep you warm with electronic music in all its colourful shades; warm enough that you’ll soon step onto brut’s balcony. The big parties spill into the big theatre hall.

Music: all kinds of electronic music, from house, electro-disco to techno.

Regular parties we like
The electro pop dance party, Malefiz (held monthly).
The disco, dance, bling blockbuster, Sweet Heat (check here to find info for their next event).
brut also regularly hosts the monthly launch parties from Vienna’s premier music and pop culture magazine, The Gap, who tend to have a habit of inviting talented local musicians.
