Berlin Gay District: Schöneberg

"If I had to choose just one place, it would be Südblock at Kottbusser Tor. Berlin no longer has just one gay district, and Südblock captures that perfectly: it is queer, mixed, relaxed and deeply connected to the life of the neighbourhood. You can sit outside for a drink, meet all kinds of people and see how Kreuzberg's everyday life and queer culture overlap. To me, it feels more representative of gay Berlin today than any single street in Schöneberg."

"Hafen on Motzstrasse for casual drinks on weekend and for those who like to get wild Boyberry on motzstr. a bar with crusing area"

"Berlin doesn't have exactly a gay neighborhood in the same way Madrid does, for example, but if you had to choose one it would be around Nollendorfplatz, with Motzstrasse as the main artery, but the Berlin scene is much more distributed throughout the city."

"Schöneberg"

"The "typical" gay life in Berlin, as you know it from other cities, revolves around Nollendorfplatz and Fuggerstraße. However, I would also always recommend getting to know the gay highlights of the other districts. There is a lot of history and soul here."

"The Roses bar in Kreuzberg, Kottbusser Tor since it's iconic and once in a lifetime experience spot. The crowd is always inclusive and friendly :)"

"I'd choose Prinzknecht. It's one of the most iconic gay bars in Berlin's Schöneberg district, with a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere that attracts both locals and visitors from around the world. Whether you're stopping by for a relaxed drink or starting a night out, it perfectly captures the friendly, diverse, and inclusive spirit that makes Berlin's LGBTQ+ scene so special."

"If I had to name just one place in Berlin's gay district, it would be Prinzknecht. Because somehow everyone connects there. It's one of those places where you can easily start talking to people, settle in, and from there the whole night can naturally unfold — whether that means staying longer, bar hopping, or ending up somewhere completely unexpected. It captures that open, social Berlin energy really well."

"For the raw spirit of Schöneberg, it has to be Bull. This legendary 24/7 cruising bar is gloriously trashy and completely unpretentious. Depending on the hour, it takes on a surreal, "zombie-like" atmosphere, but beneath that gritty surface lies a completely judgment-free, body-positive space that embodies Berlin's absolute dedication to sexual freedom and raw nightlife history."

"If I had to name a single place in Berlin's rainbow district, it would clearly be Café Romeo und Romeo on Motzstraße. Why? It is today's vibrant "living room" of the neighborhood. On the large terrace, the entire LGBTQ+ community really comes together – from long-time Berliners to international guests. It is absolutely the best vantage point for the classic "see and be seen" and captures the typical Schöneberg mix of u"
