Grelle Forelle

Great music, great experience! THE best club in vienna if you are into techno (in my opinion). Not only the DJs are awesome there but also the clientele who goes there is super laid back and very open to meeting new people. I think Grelle Forelle will be my go-to for my time being here in vienna.

We attended an Isak Danielson concert here. It was a bit challenging to find the entrance, which is located down by the riverside. Contrary to several reviews I read beforehand, the staff was completely professional, and almost all of them spoke English. The venue itself was amazing, with a unique atmosphere and a distinctive interior. The sound quality of the concert was excellent, and the lighting complemented it perfectly. Perhaps the only downside was the expensive cloakroom, which cost €7.5. I will definitely return to this place.

Normally the club is 21+, but today it seemed that every 16 year old kid was allowed in. We even heard the security guy asking the girl in front of us how old she was and she said 19, but because she had a ticket she was allowed in. It seemed like a kids birthday party in there. It was a terrible night and if it keeps happening like that I'm definitely not coming again and they should call themselves U4. Terrible, terrible experience.

Okay booking, decent sound system. Poor selection at the door and weird crowd (pushy, unfriendly people, more concerned with social media than with dancing). Usually too packed. No atmosphere Unfriendly/ unprofessional bouncers. Overpriced and overrated.

Great sound system. Great acts. Atmosphere close to an all-you-can-eat buffet. No face check, no vibe, no privacy.

Ada at the club was amazing! She made our time there so enjoyable and friendly. Her presence and aura really added to the fun atmosphere. If you want a great experience, Ada is the one! she definitely deserves a big raise. 10/10

Cool place, a bit too “bar-style” interior for techno, but great music.

Club is good , i like it outside .. crowd looks like from Frankfurt Hbf district

What's an American supposed to do on a Saturday night here in Vienna? Go out and party of course, what other answer is there to that question? Grelle Forelle was not on my hitlist when I was making my decision on where to go for the night but I'm glad I was recommended this place by a friend. The location is adjacent to the Danube River and to come out of the club at 5:30 in the morning and see the sunlight glistening along the water is an experience like no other. The surrounding area of the club was quite clean, at least cleaner than what I'm used to in LA in terms of pollution. When comparing the lighting and production of this venue to the larger clubs like Academy or Exchange in LA, it's quite lackluster. But Grelle Forelle is not a large club like the aforementioned, no, Grelle Forelle is the underground-style techno European club you've been hearing about all over social media. The light structures on the ceiling add an intricate geometric design that is noticeable yet minimalistic. The addition of smoke machines also adds to the industrial ambiance of an underground club. Admission was around 15 Euro which is cheaper than warehouse raves I've been to in the US but those warehouse raves had multiple household names. My biggest complaints: the heat, it gets INSANELY hot inside so bring a hand fan; the service at the bars, later on in the night service started to get a lot slower, it took 3-4 minutes to get a single bottle of water; the smell of cigarettes, it began to get extremely nauseating (though this is Europe, so I should have expected as much). Overall, Grelle Forelle was extremely fun and I believe I'll have to visit again before I leave.

I went to Vienna to visit a friend and he took me to Grelle Forelle to see a DJ set of Nina Kraviz. The venue was awesome, with triangular light structures hanging from the ceiling in an industrial space. That industrial style is perfect for Grelle Forelle's location, next to the river bank. Granted, for someone who is used to the prices of the Antwerp underground scene, Grelle Forelle was kind of expensive, but since I was on a holiday that didn't ruin my fun at all. What really took the party to the next level (besides the amazing Nina Kraviz obviously) were the laser lights. You can't find them any more in Belgian clubs and I'm a really big fan of laser shows. Thank you Vienna!

Pretty sick club, doesn't need to hide even by international standards. Loved the design of the club, very well thought out concepts and i think the best sound system in Vienna. Top quality bookings! And very quick and friendly bar-staff!
