Meeting place of the queer scene in Berlin
Motzstraße has been a meeting place for gays and lesbians since the 1920's. Then as now, the neighbourhood is a typical Berlin residential area during the day, but after work the many gay bars such as Heile Welt or Boyberry open their doors, guaranteeing you an extraordinary evening. You can also make yourself comfortable in the Voyage bar with a little drag show, be impressed by the eye-catching interior design and sand-covered floor in Slumberland or toast to a night like in a David Lynch film at the long wooden counter of the Green Door Bar.
Once a summer, the scene celebrates itself: More than 400,000 people come together in a lively and colourful atmosphere for the largest homosexual street festival in Europe - the Lesbian and Gay Street Festival.
Wine & jazz, salsa & street art: Schöneberg has a lot to offer
The diversity of Schöneberg's neighbourhood is also reflected in other attractions. Along Kleiststraße you will find the Metropol , a theatre building whose Art Nouveau façade still bears witness to the beginnings of this temple of events. If you stroll towards Bülowstraße, you will find yourself in Berlin's street art mecca, as can be seen from the façades around the Urban Nation Museum for Urban Contemporary Art. Another highlight on Bülowstraße is the Zeit Café, a small gallery and café in a former petrol station where you can plan your evening together.
Salsa fans will get their money's worth at Havanna on the busy Hauptstraße. And in the middle of the residential neighbourhood around Julius-Leber-Brücke, you will find a real insider tip in the Weinlobbyisten and just a five-minute walk away, the Silent Jazz Bar serves signature cocktails accompanied by well-curated music.
