Innsbruck Gay Bars & Clubs

Bacchus is Innsbruck’s oldest LGBTQIA+ club, tucked directly below FRIEND’S BAR on Salurner Straße, just a short walk from the main train station. Friday and Saturday are the big nights, with doors opening at 10 pm and the club staying open until 6 am.

The music jumps between house, current chart hits, 90s tracks and electro, with a dance floor for the party and a lounge where you can take a breather with friends. Drinks are reasonably priced and there’s no admission charge.

Bacchus also opens for private events outside its regular hours, from weddings and birthdays to bachelor and bachelorette parties, corporate events and even divorce parties, so apparently there’s no milestone too specific for an LGBTQIA+ nightclub.

Dom Café is a gay-owned café-bar in Innsbruck’s Old Town, sandwiched between St. James Cathedral and the Golden Roof. It occupies a historic space with a vaulted ceiling, chandeliers, and outdoor seating.

The bar serves beer, cocktails, wine, spirits, soft drinks and mocktails, alongside simple café food including pasta, soups, salads and toast. Their apple strudel is also worth trying!

Despite its central location, the café draws plenty of locals, with chilled music and a relaxed setting. It's a spot that works equally well for coffee, a quick bite, or an evening drink.

THE VAULT (formerly M+M Bar) is a cocktail bar on Innstraße 45, within walking distance of Innsbruck’s Old Town. The menu runs into the hundreds, from signature creations such as the Genie in a Bottle and Rosmarry Mule to Porn Star Martinis, Espresso Martinis, Old Fashioneds, Negronis and Mojitos. There’s also a wide choice of gin, rum and whisky, along with champagne, wine, Trumer beer on tap and non-alcoholic cocktails.

Bartenders are happy to help navigate the extensive drinks list, and cocktails come with small snacks. Table reservations are recommended for dates, birthdays, and larger groups.
