Himmelreich has been flying the queer flag in Friedrichshain for years, combining a relaxed neighbourhood bar with a lively programme of LGBTQ+ events. Inside it’s warm and informal, while the tables outside on Simon-Dach-Straße are particularly popular when Berlin’s weather cooperates. Pride events, Eurovision nights and community gatherings all feature in the mix. The location fills an important gap between GayMapper’s other Friedrichshain venues. Ashoor is a short walk away on Wühlischstraße, with Grosse Freiheit 114 and Zum Schmutzigen Hobby also easily reached around the wider Friedrichshain nightlife area. Expect a genuinely mixed LGBTQ+ crowd — gay men, lesbians, trans guests, friends and plenty of local regulars.

Here you can enjoy yourselves at more than 300 adult play parties and on over 50 open days (on Mondays) a year. On two floors we offer you air-conditioned bar, lounge with big video screen and playing areas plus one of the biggest and finest darkrooms in Berlin, including St. Andrew's cross, video cabins, gynecological examination chair and sling.

Bar Voyage is a cozy queer bar nestled in the heart of Berlin's Schöneberg district. Located at Nollendorfstraße 1, it's a welcoming spot for both locals and visitors, with a sizeable outdoor terrace for the warmer evenings. The atmosphere is relaxed and intimate, with a living room-like setting that makes it easy to strike up conversations. It occasionally hosts live music performances and cabaret acts, adding a touch of entertainment to your evening. The crowd is diverse, with a mix of gay, lesbian, and straight patrons, creating an inclusive environment for all. Whether you're looking for a quiet drink or a lively night out, Bar Voyage offers a charming and friendly space to enjoy.

Beautiful and welcoming bar for everyone. Music indoors is not too loud and perfect for conversations and the interior strikes a pose in a retro lounge design. The crowd tends to be youngish in the bar. Great cocktail list and selection of spirits.

There’s some serious queer history behind Neues Ufer. Opened as Anderes Ufer in 1977, it became one of Berlin’s pioneering openly gay and lesbian cafés, with David Bowie a regular when he lived nearby. Today it remains a relaxed café-bar, with drinks, outdoor seating and plenty of Bowie memorabilia adding to the character. It sits further south in Schöneberg than the main gay nightlife around Motzstraße and Fuggerstraße, but that gives it more of a neighbourhood feel. The crowd mixes long-time LGBTQ+ regulars, locals, visitors and Bowie fans, making it particularly good for conversation and an earlier drink rather than a big night out.

Scheune in Schöneberg is a long-standing favorite in Berlin’s gay nightlife, especially for those who enjoy a more adventurous night out. The bar has a relaxed, no-frills vibe and is spread across several floors, with a big bar area, dark rooms, cabins, and play spaces to explore. It’s less about the music and more about the fun, attracting a lively, easygoing, and open-minded crowd. Known for its welcoming atmosphere and playful spirit, Scheune has become a classic spot to meet, mingle, and enjoy Berlin’s uninhibited nightlife.
