Linzerstrasse 4 4850 Timelkam. F and Sa 21.30PM-4AM. Music from classic rock to electronic. Young people, grunger, raver, hippies. Drinks are expensive and you always have to pay entrance till 02:00 plus minus half an hour. But don't ask for free entrance, once the doorkeeper knows that you don't want to pay he wouldn't let you in for free, even after 02:00. The Mosquito used to be called Gei and everyone still sticks to this name.
