Club Triebwerk

We are a club of adult men (founded on September 6, 1996), who enjoy and foster innovative play. We believe that good play requires responsibility and mutual respect, as well as practice, experience and a place to experiment. We are the leading club in Germany for all varieties of SM, in particular flagellation. We receive visitors from all parts of Europe and the world who wish to practice or learn about the art of spanking for pleasure. In our clubrooms you will find all age groups, a definite enrichment for our "play sessions". It is our intention to be a counterbalance to the commercialized scene and we attach importance to time, room, and a stimulating atmosphere at reasonable cost. We try to be of assistance to our members and visitors with their questions and problems. We boost consciousness for the various forms of sexuality among adults and are involved in projects to educate the general public in order to prevent social isolation and sexual violence. We condone an imaginative, positive and responsible attitude towards sexuality.Therefore we look forward to men of all ages, their curiosity and their experience. What's more we always welcome every dress code. Don't worry, you won't escape unnoticed.

Sux Bar in Neukölln is a super chill, cozy queer spot with a relaxed basement vibe. You can grab affordable drinks, hang out, and chat with friendly locals and visitors alike. There’s even a foosball table for some playful competition. The music is a fun mix of chill and upbeat tracks, setting the perfect mood for a night out. With its welcoming, inclusive crowd, Sux Bar is ideal for meeting new people, unwinding, or just enjoying a laid-back evening in Berlin’s queer scene.

Pussycat Bar in Schöneberg is a retro-styled gay pub with a unique doorbell entry and a warm, welcoming vibe. Inside, two intimate rooms and a modest dance floor create a snug yet lively atmosphere, often filled with pop tunes and friendly conversation. Known for its affordable drinks and smoker-friendly environment, it attracts a mixed LGBTQ+ crowd looking for a relaxed, unpretentious night out. With its nostalgic charm and inclusive spirit, Pussycat remains a beloved staple of Berlin’s queer nightlife.

An alternative gay bar in Kreuzberg, with a quirky interior featuring walls lined with pink fur and kitsch accessories. It's not a huge bar, so it can get extremely busy at peak times. If you have been to places like the Retro Bar or Vauxhall Tavern in London, then Roses would be worth a visit.

The Lab-Oratory is not made for vulnerable souls. Every night has a different theme, almost always with a certain fetish (sport clothes, leather, yellow, etc). Only on friday nights there is no dress code and everyone can wear (or not) what he wants to. In the magnificent, industrial setting men (women are not allowed) can do what they want with each other. In the weekends you can often enter the Berghain at a reduced rate. Please mind: the doors only open two hours, to make sure that the number of visitors isn't spread out too much throughout the night.

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.
