Szene Wien is one of Vienna's established live music venues, occupying a former cinema building in the Simmering district. Rather than the scale of a major arena, it offers a compact concert setting that keeps the audience close to the stage. The main hall accommodates up to approximately 460 people in a standing configuration, or around 220 with seating, making it particularly well suited to performances where direct interaction between artists and the audience is part of the experience.
The venue features a fixed stage together with professional sound and lighting equipment designed for live performances. Its intimate layout and strong, clear concert sound contribute to a traditional club atmosphere, while the programme spans genres ranging from rock, metal and alternative music to pop, electronic music and other contemporary styles. A bar and café complement the main hall, and an outdoor summer garden is also used during the warmer part of the year.
Szene Wien is located at Hauffgasse 26, 1110 Vienna, Austria. The Hauffgasse tram stop is directly beside the venue, allowing visitors to reach the entrance without a long walk, while Enkplatz underground station is within walking distance.
