Cafe-Bar Himmelreich

Simon-Dach-Straße 36, 10245 Berlin, Germany

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.

Popular Bars in Berlin

KREUZWERK

KREUZWERK represents a newer side of Berlin’s queer club culture, with an industrial Kreuzberg setting and a programme built around underground electronic music, queer collectives and FLINTA-centred events. Nights vary considerably, from straightforward dance parties to sex-positive and more experimental events, with a strong awareness and consent policy running throughout the venue. It sits near Moritzplatz rather than inside one of Berlin’s traditional gay-bar clusters. Möbel Olfe and Südblock around Kottbusser Tor are still within easy reach, but KREUZWERK is really a destination in its own right. Expect a younger, international and very Berlin crowd across queer, trans, non-binary and FLINTA communities, particularly on nights such as LECKEN and Hoe_mies.
