Popular Bars in Berlin
Bar Zum Schmutzigen Hobby
Bar Zum Schmutzigen Hobby in Friedrichshain is a lively queer hotspot that blends bar, club, and performance space into one playful venue. With flamboyant décor, cheeky humor, and a campy, welcoming vibe, it’s especially known for drag shows, cabaret acts, and wild themed parties. The music ranges from pop to electronic, keeping the dance floor buzzing well into the night. The crowd is diverse and open-minded, making it easy to meet people and soak in the fun. Bold, colorful, and unapologetically queer, it’s a true Berlin nightlife gem.
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.
Curly Bar
Curly Bar is a cosy, friendly queer cafe in Berlin's Wedding district, where barista coffee with cake and tapas are offered. The venue is smaller, but perfect for drinks and chit-chat with friends. It's known for its welcoming atmosphere and as a space for various LGBTQIA+ events and activities.
Betty F***
Betty F is a small basement gay bar in Berlin Mitte, with cabaret entertainment. The bar's small size, like a "Berlin backroom," adds to its charm and makes it a unique experience. Betty F is also notable for its decor, friendly staff, and 80s and 90s music, which often leads to dancing. Gets busy on weekends.
Club Triebwerk
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.
Bar Saint Jean
The owner of the friendly bar, Johann, comes from a little village called Saint Jean, located in Lorraine, eastern France, after which the bar is named. He believed that Berlin seemed just to be the perfect place for his little bar idea with a French touch. Bar Saint Jean is a simple place. Clear lines, not too much details, no chi chi, where people simply go to take a good drink, weekends and during the week.
