loved joe's bar in the city center and the american bar Kruegers as well. Other places with a good party spirit was La Habana (9th district) and the q-bar (7th district).

Personal spending habits
food, drinks and nightlife are definitly cheaper then back home, even though I went out more then I would have done back home. I live in a student dorm back home as well, but pay a bit more then a did in Vienna. The travel cost was higher mainly because I traveled all around eastern-europe, which I wouldn't have done a home. But the cost per trip was of course less then home.
