The Frauencafé (Women’s Café) was founded in 1977 and has been popular ever since. The new proprietors, a group of dedicated lesbians with a lot of experience in arts and catering, took over this café from a single woman, who managed it all by herself. The Frauencafé was originally founded as a collective by a group of lesbians in the 70ies. It is women-only/transgender welcome.

The Frauenzentrum Bar (Women’s Center Café) — commonly called FZ — greatly contributes to the women’s and lesbian scene in Vienna by regularly hosting parties and events. All those who like to dance should come to the disco at the FZ on Saturday: a cheap cover charge, minimalist decoration and lots of space to dance in a pleasant atmosphere with good music. Lipstick dykes, however, might feel somewhat out of place here.

Just the right thing for party-lovers are the occasional Women’s Parties at U96 on Fridays. Highly recommended is also the Las Chicas Women’s Disco which has been around for a few years and grown a dedicated following.

The Marea Alta , a friendly bar on Gumpendorfer Strasse, is mostly frequented by women, men are allowed too. The crowd is young and trendy. A club that is not women-only but very popular with lesbians is homoriental . Since its inception, homoriental has truly turned into one of the best lesbian and gay parties in town. Another predominantly lesbian party is called G.Sp ot and takes place on a monthly basis at the Camera Club .
