Austria's first queer community centre, opened in 2023 on Annenstraße and run by the Styrian LGBTIQ association whose office sits across the road. It calls itself a safer space for queer people and their friends.
The space is about ninety square metres: two main rooms, a kitchen, counselling rooms and a bar corner. Everything is step-free and the bathrooms are accessible. Water and fruit are free.
Afternoons belong to young people. Evenings bring themed nights with the bar open, and the regular groups include a trans* café, a non-binary Stammtisch, a Hungarian-language table, talks on BDSM for over-18s, and queer speed dating. The rainbow choir rehearses here too. The team on shift mixes bar staff with clinical psychologists and social workers, so a conversation here can go either way depending on what you came for.
For a visitor this is the most dependable way to meet queer people in Graz without going to a club.
