In the last few years, the P1 nightclub was the “in” place to be in Vienna, in terms of the club scene. On the 10th of December 2004, Vienna’s nightlife saw a fantastic transformation with the re-launch of the P1 nightclub; The Empire Club. The club has chains at Imst, Linz, St. Martin, Oepping, Sattledt, Horn and is one of most renowned Club operators in Austria.

The owner, Joachim wanted something seductive and glamorous. Natschlager also knew that an illustrious lighting design would be the key to the look and identity of the venue so he brought in Kraftwerk, who have worked on Empire and other projects all over the country. Manfred, the managing director of Kraftwerk gave a statement; The Empire offers outstanding entertainment and a cozy atmosphere in a location equipped with the latest technical features.

The Empire club is subdivided into three plains; the main dance area where everyone can get down and have a boogie, a VIP bar where special guests can have a specified seating area or, if your legs are tired from all that dancing - there is a lounge, where guests can relax and take the weight off their feet.
