Chelsea

Great place to watching football.

The Chelsea offers everything an English club should offer. Many beers and whiskys, all kind of ball games on big screens and music, even Londoners wouldn't complain about.

In the weekend it's too crowded, therefore I recommend a visit on weekdays.

Personally I don't care much for the bar part with all the live soccer transmissions, but some of the best indie concerts in Vienna have taken place here -- it's always worth checking their website to see who's playing. Beware, however, that it's often WAY overcrowded. (Examples of artists too popular for the Chelsea: Xiu Xiu, 13&God).

a venue where a lot of indie rock shows take place. not my favorite but some amazing shows take place there. but when a show is sold out, it's almost unbearable.

Live indie rock, lots of alcohol and almost all of the football matches broadcast live on several screens? What more could one ask for? The Chelsea is in the same league as the Rhiz and Flex for well-known nightclubs in Vienna. Other than featuring some of the best little known indie artists performing live in their main room, the Chelsea broadcasts FIFA matches almost non-stop! 4 or 5 bars stocked full of every imaginable intoxicating drink and sometimes a few snacks here and there.

A bit intimidating for the timid, but once you make it past the security guard you'll find yourself wrapped in a warm psuedo-British security blanket of loud rock, dub, raggea or jazz and half-empty pints.
