Popular Bars in Berlin

BULL Berlin

BULL Berlin

Bull is famous for its 24 hour cruising, and you should always find someone to have fun with. A sling area and videos playing in the bar, this isn't the place you'd choose for a quiet drink. Gets busier after midnight when the crowd has moved on from other bars.
Kumpelnest 3000

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.
Besenkammer

Besenkammer

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.
Bärenhöhle

Bärenhöhle

The meeting place of the gay scene in Prenzlauer Berg. The Bear Cave is a small cozy bar where "man meets man" and usually bears are cozy creatures. Everyone feels comfortable here, no matter if bear, bear lover or non-bear, no matter if old or young, no matter if fat or thin. With us in the foreground is who you are and not what you have or how you look and so everyone comes quickly into conversation with the other guests.Just as mixed as our guests is the music that we play in the Bear Cave - whether oldies, German hits or international hits of the 70s, 80s and 90s up to the hits of today. There is something for everyone. And of course you can also dance and sing (karaoke available)
Hafen

Hafen

Great place to get a drink and chill out with friends. Occasionally they offer German schlager music events hosted by drag queens. This bar gets busy on weekends, with crowds spilling into the street, so come early if you want a seat.
Capture Bar

Capture Bar

Popular bar in Friedrichshain. According to the owner the glamourest Gay Bar in Berlin. Close by the many bars and restaurants on Simon Dach Strasse, with a great soundtrack for your evening. Especially busy on weekend evenings.

Tours & Experiences in Berlin

Berlin is one of those cities where the sightseeing can be every bit as interesting as the nightlife. See the Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island, cruise the Spree, explore alternative neighbourhoods, or take a trip to Potsdam before heading back towards Schöneberg for the evening.
