Elektro Gönner is a former electrical shop-cum-bar located on a tangent path way off of Mariahilferstrasse. Run by a group of architects, the bare and minimalist space plays host to art and video installations, providing “something to look at” for its drinking patrons, many of which are members of the architecture community.

It is a good starter to get your motor revved up for more hardcore festivities elsewhere. As a weekday spot, the casual and non-trendy Gönner buffers conversations with enough ambiance and good music to keep you fixed on the bar stool, with a daily DJ line up playing a usual sound cocktail of drum ‘n’ bass, techno and electro. On the weekends, it positively bustles with one-off and monthly parties including techno party Elektroland, Superdisko and others.
