Mitte
Glamorous
In the vicinity of pretty Hackescher Markt you may party in style and elegance. If you love Berlin transvestites and atypical bars, your place is the Betty F***.

Really queer
It is hard to find another bar in Berlin which is so well balanced when it comes to gay-lesbian guests and with the location in Mitte it sticks out from the other gay-lesbian centres. The bar is run by an Australian woman and hosts motto parties every 4–6 weeks. For lesbians the monthly Girls Savoire-Party is an enrichment.

Kreuzberg
Kitsch style
Come in and find out! Bar Rauschgold has one priority – detail. Unthinkable what Kreuzberg would be like without its kitsch, plush and creative interior! Motto parties and events; guaranteed fun!

Relaxed feeling
The F*** 3000 is certainly one of the most relaxed darkroom bars in the capital. There is comfortable seating at the bar and the darkroom keeps its promises. Rather dark!Touching is a must! Indie parties take place regularly in the small bar with club atmosphere. Here you meet all kinds of people, party-goers, alternative types, bim-bettes and tourists. New ladies night!

Indie and smokey
Möbel-Olfe is the cliché of a typical Berlin trendy bar. Loud, raw, crowded and smokey. The venue has developed its own cult status and especially on Thursdays all Berlin boys meet here who do not care for anything mainstream. Party into the night with Electronic beats and Polish beer until morning. To find the entrance in Dresdner Straße, take the passage to Kottbusser Tor.

Neukölln
Nostalgic
Trommel (drums) is the oldest gay pub in Neukölln. The queer location takes you on a special trip down nostalgia road, with its plush and kitsch interior. Younger as well as older gays party here in a comfortable and private atmosphere. This popular gay pub regularly attracts guests with different events and is always worth a visit.

Coffee and bed
Schall & Rauch offers its guests a variety of things: Sundays, coffee and cake, a beer at night or something hearty to eat, there is something for everyone. The well thought through interior makes everyone feel comfortable. This gay-lesbian Café not only offers great food and drink, it is also a B&B which is perfect for the queer tourist. Try it!

Men's classic
The men‘s classic venue in the East is the Greifbar. Here “men, films, cruising” is the motto every day of the week and a possibility to make contact. The prejudice that here you go “only for fucking” either dissolves in a nice chat at the bar or is simply put into practice in the back room. Very friendly staff!

Friedrichshain
Nice mix
Bar Himmelreich is situated smack in the centre of the nightlife neighbourhood in Friedrichshain and has become an established gay-lesbian spot in the very busy Simon-Dach-Straße. The seating is 50s style at the bar and in the lounge. Every week women´s lounge, highly favoured by the lesbian crowd.
Himmelreich, Simon-Dach-Str. 36
Sing along!
Monster Ronson’s is probably the most outstanding karaoke bar in Berlin. You can chose between different bars and karaoke booths, which are named Marylin or something else that seduces one or the other talent to take the microphone and sing. The crowd is mostly relaxed and often Trash parties are on the agenda. Take the mike and sing your heart out!

Trucker atmosphere
The place to go for gay lorry and truck drivers. But not only they enjoy the truck stop atmosphere in Gnadenbrot. The tables are named after truck stops which can be found on the German Autobahn maps. Yummie food is served day and night, a good draught washes down the traditional creative dishes. Do not be the designated driver!

Party and flirt
20 years are like an eternity in gay terms – Hafen in Motzstraße has been the legendary port for long Schöneberg nights. Apart from its central location, Hafen has everything a good bar is made of: flirtatious party lovers, good drinks and really diverse music. On top of that there is a committed team which constantly works on new party concepts.
