Incognito

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.

Boy bar located in the gay area Schoeneberg. You will find new friends here from all over the world. Nice music, especially from the 1980's and offer a good range of cocktails with good service. Note the new location.

Melitta Sundström is one of those old-school Berlin queer institutions that works just as well for coffee and cake as it does for drinks later in the evening. The characterful café-bar has indoor and outdoor seating, a relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere and occasional cultural events, attracting a broad mix rather than one narrowly defined gay crowd. You’re right on Mehringdamm in Kreuzberg, with Rauschgold directly across the road and BarbieBar further along the same street, so it’s an easy addition to a queer bar crawl through this part of the city. Expect gay and lesbian regulars, local friends and a generally mixed, unpretentious crowd, especially earlier in the evening.

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.
