Tunnel

Vienna


This laid-back, endearingly boho cafe attracts students and all comers. By day it's a relaxed spot to grab an ancient wooden table and flick through a communal book or magazine with coffee or opt for lunchtime beers and Latin American snacks. The mood cranks up a notch with (mostly free) gigs at 9pm, from folk to indie, Latin to jazz.

The full line-up is posted online and includes pub quizzes in German, occasional English-speaking stand-up comedy and a big screen for big football matches.
