Donau is one of the more relaxed locations in Vienna.
This once-synagogue turned chill-out lounge is rather hard to find, ie. there are no signs, ads or an obvious entrance. I stumbled on it by opening the wrong door one night, pulling back a curtain and there was a huge gothic room with vaulted ceilings, DJs, and a bar. Not too over-priced, comfortable, relaxed/dimmed lighting and cool visuals.

One thing you can't complain about is Flex's sound system (allegedly, the most powerful in all of Europe's discos).
Standard events include Friday's "London Calling" and Saturday's "Wicked" as well as various drum and bass parties and somewhat commercial hardcore/punk shows. Things to look out for: [1] the ever-increasing macho, ass-crabbing contingent has caused many to re-consider further visits [2] the bouncers can be ferocious and over-aggressive, which tends to put a stain on an otherwise enjoyable evening [3] drinks are over-priced and the bar-tenders often plain rude [4] Flex is often beyond over-crowded, begging the question of fire-hazards.

I had a coke, my friend had a gin/tonic and the cost was like EUR 12. Their restaurant may be more acceptable - I haven't yet sampled its delicacies. Yellow (bar) has a cold, dark, uncomfortable feel, so if you're looking for an expensive snob option, visit Lutz Bar/Cafe.
