LGBTQ+ bar · Berlin, Germany

Oranienstraße 187, 10999 Berlin-Bezirk Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Germany





This is the most unfriendly place in Berlin. Barmen is the rudest person I’ve ever seen. Such a shame. We were there 2 minutes and left. After they treat people like shit, I’m not surprised to see all these bad (good) reviews.
Great bar. Yes the bouncers may quiz you on entry - that's to keep the wrong people out and ensure you have a good time once you're inside.
This bar used to feel like a gay-centered space, but the atmosphere has shifted. I’ve been multiple times in the last year, and each time I felt more like an outsider and noticeably in the minority as a gay person. I often felt looked at rather than at ease, and the vibe no longer felt like a community space for queer people. It’s disappointing to see a place that once felt like a gem change this way.
I live in Berlin and went with friends there. The bouncer pointed at me and said I was never in that bar ( which I was) and that I was straight ( which is rude and false , my boyfriend was standing next to me). He only let us in after I came out to him, which is insaneeeely disrespectful and not worthy of a queer bar. If you look for a queer and a safe space , look somewhere else . The plushy decor is not worth being discriminated for. Really ruined my evening and reading the comments , this is not a singular event, but quite common. There are many nicer queer friendly places around like Südblock or Silver Future :) Take care and have fun
