That background can be felt in Berlin’s modern day clubbing culture. The scars of the second world war, maintained in plain sight by the city, permeate Berlin’s psyche: authoritarianism and persecution must be avoided at all costs. Since its heyday in the twenties, Berlin has been a haven for the fringes of sexuality and society.

Much has been achieved, but we still live in a world where queerness is constrained. LBGTQ individuals have had to fight prejudice to make space for themselves. Like many others, my boyfriend grew up in a world that did not make it easy to be himself. I discovered new ways of being with the world. We spent the summer learning to party together. Spurred by our love, I resolved to cross into his world. At my cousins wedding I read a research paper whilst he danced. I found our differences exciting though challenging. I grew up bookish and solitary, he affable and athletic. As he and I re-wove our lives around each-other, we embarked on a program of cultural integration - each of us would take the other to key places in our lives. And if you prefer saunas than parties, go to Der Boiler, the biggest and busiest sauna of the city.įinally, we want to thank Ross Ospina, receptionist of TWO Hotel Berlin by Axel, to help us with this post.We’d been in love for a year. If they’re not your style, you can visit Siegessäule, the LGBTQ+ agenda of Berlin. In our view, this are the funniest LGBTQ+ parties in Berlin. If you don’t like techno or hard parties, this is a perfect place to spend the night and laugh. They define themselves as a drag karaoke for queens and kings and spectacular beings. Monster Ronson’s Ichiban Karaokeīerlin’s most famous karaoke is called Monster Ronson’s Ichiban Karaoke.
#BERLIN GAY SEX CLUBS FULL#
You have te get there early, because it easily reaches full capacity. Every month they organize a party where the less clothes you wear, the less you pay. Pornceptual is much more than a party, it’s an artistic project that wants explicit sexual content to be considered as art. It’s one of the most crowded parties of Berlin and it’s oriented to gay men only. The best option for Sundays and house music lovers is GMF at House of Weekend Club, close to Alexanderplatz. There’s always a gay party on Fridays, Saturdays is for bisexuals and during the year there are 3 big LGBTQ+ parties: Revolver, Revolver XL y Revolver XXL. There is also no censorship, in this club you can have sex whenever and wherever you like. Everyone is who wants to be, there’s no dress code. People are in disguise, with atypical make-up, leather clothes, underwear and shorts. KitKatClub is techno and sex, Berghain is techno.

KitKatClub is one of the busiest clubs in Berlin and has a bigger portion of gay people in the crowd than Berghain. Berghain is the cathedral of techno music and its doormen are in charge to divide the techno parishioners from the curious. If you want to have more chances, stay serious at the queue, formal dresses are not recommended (actually, the weirder the better), don’t look like a tourist and know who is going to be the DJ tonight.

To get in Lab.Oratory you’ll need to be there before midnight, at 00:01, doors are closed. They connect twice a year, with a party called SNAX. Berghain and Lab.Oratoryīerghain and Lab.Oratory are in the same building, but they are not connected. Leave your baggage and go and have a beer! You can begin at Hafen, Blond or Heile Welt, or if you want something “harder” enter the dark room of Tom’s Bar.Īfter this warm-up, you are ready to discover the best LGBTQ+ clubs in Berlin. A good option to stay in the gay area is Axel Hotel Berlin, where most of the guests are gay and looking for fun. To start the night, go to Schöneberg neighbourhood, the gay district of Berlin and, also, the first gay district of the world. Most of the clubs are not gay or straight, the crowd is mixed. Besides being the best city of Europe (and perhaps, the world) to go partying, Berlin is completely queer. If you love techno music, you can dance for hours and you are a fetishist, Berlin is your city.
