Melitta Sundström

Mehringdamm 61, 10961 Berlin, Germany

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.

The Little Philharmony

A long established bar, popular with an older, arty clientele. It has a very cosy feeling, like being in someone's front room. Check out if there are any shows on when you are visiting Berlin. This is a very different venue from other gay bars in the city.

Romeo und Romeo

Romeo and Romeo is a friendly place to have coffee and cake. They offer free WIFI and is a good place to start your day in Schßneberg. The cafe is popular during summers and good for hanging out and watching people.

Kumpelnest 3000

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.

Scheune Berlin

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.

Dreizehn

Small, smoky place with friendly bartenders were you get in touch with other guests quickly. Often popular later in the evening as people move on from other nearby bars to see if they can make some late night connections.
