Twinpigs
No log ladies, no men from another place and no BOBs. Just cocktails and craft beer at this stylish Neukölln bar.
Kater Blau – FAME
Leave Berghain to the club kids; for a more authentic Berlin experience, this is where you want to be.
Icky Sundays @ Ficken 3000
Let’s be honest, this Sunday dirty disco party at Berlin usually does get sticky.
SchwuZ
The gay nightlife institution may have moved to Neukölln but its penchant for retro pop remains unchanged.
Bar Saint Jean
This stylish cocktail bar in Mitte feels more like Paris than the sleepy village it’s named after.
Chalet
Located in Berlin’s Kreuzberg rather than Kitzbühel, a scenester hotspot from the gang behind the legendary Bar 25.
SilverFuture
Dirt cheap drinks, a totally laid back atmosphere and a pretty friendly crowd at this Kreuzkölln favourite.
Prince Charles
No Windsors, but plenty of Kreuzberg nightlife royalty and hipster paupers at this Berliner watering hole.
Buck & Breck
Think ahead to get a space at this teensy tiny speakeasy. Hard to find and difficult to secure bumspace in.
Monster Ronson’s
Uninhibited characters and loud-mouthed locals taking to the mic on a nightly basis - karaoke has never been so loud.
Pigalle Bar
Before you get out the hand sanitizer and sneer at the Neukölln neighbours, remember: this slick lounge club is from the same guy who runs Weekend.
Südblock Berlin
Kreuzberg’s newest gay scene is an eclectic number promising plenty of distractions from stage to screen.
Möbel-Olfe
Packed out with gays, lesbians, drag kings and queens and lost tourists, ironically it’s almost impossible to get a seat at this former furniture store.
Victoria Bar
Although no longer the new kid on the block, it continues to dazzle with its world class mixology and stylish design.
