New Action

I admit New Action is not for the faint hearted, and that's a good thing. This bar rocks, in the best German way.

Went here on Ostermontag after PrinzKnecht closed. Great crowd and a really fun time. Bartenders were awesome.

Great place for leather or fetish guys in general. Can get crowded at times but staff is always polite. Bring cash for entry, but card accepted for drinks. Old style cruising vibes, nice music. 1 star less for the heavy smoke inside (even for smokers can be daunting). An air exaust or designated smoking area would elevate the place to 5 stars.

A bar for leather and fetish enthusiasts. The place is beautiful. Bartenders are relaxed and friendly. The atmosphere is welcoming and completely uninhibited. One of the best spots for gay nightlife in Berlin. Be sure to check the themes, as some nights they are strict about the dress code.

This was my first time visiting New Action, and honestly, I was a bit nervous because of some of the negative reviews I had read. But I was completely surprised—in the best way! From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. My friend and I went in together, both dressed in leather, and we immediately felt that we were in the right place—a space that truly celebrates our style and vibe. The first person I paid and explained that I don’t speak German and it was our first time—he was so friendly, laughing and making us feel totally comfortable. It instantly made us feel at home. The stunning and charming guy who takes your clothes and belongings was also incredibly polite and attractive—his energy really stood out. The bartenders were also friendly and respectful. The venue itself is nice and has a great atmosphere. I absolutely recommend it, especially for fans of leather and fetish scenes. Of course, no place is perfect—so here’s my humble suggestion for improvement: More attention to the darkroom in terms of lighting and experience. Consider adding a glory hole. It would be amazing to create a darker, more mysterious ambiance that enhances the leather/latex/fetish fantasy even more. Wishing the owners all the best and continued success. I love you, Berlin—and I adore this unique queer energy that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. 🖤🏳️‍🌈
