Club Triebwerk

Kumpelnest 3000 in Tiergarten is one of Berlin’s quirkiest queer bars, known for its eccentric décor and anything-goes atmosphere. Once a brothel, it now mixes kitsch, glitter, and dim lighting to create a fun, slightly surreal vibe. The crowd is wonderfully mixed—queer, straight, locals, and visitors—all coming together for strong drinks, late-night chats, and spontaneous dance sessions. Open until the early hours, it’s the kind of place where the night can take unexpected turns. Kumpelnest 3000 is a true Berlin institution, playful, welcoming, and delightfully unpredictable.

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.

Cool smoking bar at Kottbusser Tor with a small outdoor terrace. Slightly hidden away in a 1970s shopping arcade, but warm and friendly when you get there. The crowd is mostly of locals in their 20s and 30s. Look for the large "HOMO Bar" sign in the window!

A small, long-established bar, open 24 hours a day and located near Alexanderplatz. Not the place for large groups as it is very small, but rated for a cosy drink, if you don't mind the smoking and want to see a piece of Berlin gay history.

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.

SchwuZ in Neukölln is one of Berlin’s biggest and most beloved queer clubs, famous for its colorful parties and inclusive vibe.

Themed nights, drag performances, and live acts add extra flair, drawing a diverse, international crowd that loves to dance until sunrise. With its friendly, energetic atmosphere, SchwuZ is a must-visit spot for anyone wanting to experience Berlin’s vibrant queer nightlife.
