Neues Ufer

Hauptstraße 157, 10827 Berlin, Germany
There’s some serious queer history behind Neues Ufer. Opened as Anderes Ufer in 1977, it became one of Berlin’s pioneering openly gay and lesbian cafés, with David Bowie a regular when he lived nearby. Today it remains a relaxed café-bar, with drinks, outdoor seating and plenty of Bowie memorabilia adding to the character.
It sits further south in Schöneberg than the main gay nightlife around Motzstraße and Fuggerstraße, but that gives it more of a neighbourhood feel. The crowd mixes long-time LGBTQ+ regulars, locals, visitors and Bowie fans, making it particularly good for conversation and an earlier drink rather than a big night out.

Popular Bars in Berlin
SilverFuture
Silver Future can be found in the lively queer scene of Berlin Neukölln. This is the place to be provocative and unconventional. A sign hanging over the bar tells patrons to leave their "heteronormativity" at the door or else they can leave themselves. The tables, seating and countless pictures on the walls are as varied as the guests. The bar is particularly popular with lesbian women, but gay newcomers to Berlin from all over the world appreciate the family atmosphere. Known for well prices drinks and friendly service.
OYA Kollektiv Bar
OYA is a queer-feminist collective bar where community comes before conventional nightlife polish. The programme ranges from open decks, poetry and concerts to games nights, solidarity events and exhibitions, with a particular focus on LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC voices. There’s also a small outdoor area for quieter summer evenings.
The Mariannenstraße location puts OYA in Kreuzberg, not far from the queer scene around Kottbusser Tor. Möbel Olfe and Südblock are both within easy reach, making it straightforward to combine them in one night. The crowd is especially diverse across queer women, trans and non-binary people, BIPOC communities and allies, giving OYA a noticeably different atmosphere from Berlin’s predominantly male gay bars.
