The Hive: A vibrant queer hub in Vienna offering Austrian soul food, cocktails, and a welcoming 'Come In, Come Home' atmosphere for all.
About
Welcome to The Hive, a buzzing centerpiece of the LGBTQ+ scene in Vienna. Located in the vibrant 6th district at Magdalenenstraße 2, this venue has quickly become an essential stop on every savvy traveler’s gay map. Formerly known as the Red Carpet, The Hive has been completely reimagined as a welcoming sanctuary for queer individuals and their allies, living by the heartfelt motto: “Come In, Come Home.” As a premier queer-friendly restaurant and bar, The Hive offers more than just a place to grab a drink. By day and early evening, guests can indulge in authentic Austrian cuisine, featuring must-try local specialties like Käsekrainer and hearty daily menus at unbeatable prices. The drink list is equally impressive, ranging from signature cocktails like the "Behive" to premium spirits and local wines, perfect for a sunset session on their spacious, shade-giving sidewalk terrace. For gay men and the wider queer community looking for energy, the venue transforms as the night progresses. While the ground floor remains a cozy social hub, the cellar reveals a hidden dance floor that comes alive with events and parties, particularly on weekends. Whether you’re here for a casual bite, a signature cocktail, or to meet new faces in the city, The Hive stands out as a top-tier destination in the heart of Vienna's queer landscape.
