15 ways to appreciate Berlin without going to Berghain

From a hotel with its own marble Turkish hammam to Berlin’s kinkiest gay sex club, we give you 15 left of centre things to undertake and see in Berlin

Whether you’re a Berlin novice or seasoned regular, the key to making the most of Germany’s dynamic capital is immersing yourself in its many left-of-centre activities and venues on offer. By all means, visit the more established tourist venues if you must, but be sure to delve a little deeper with a visit to one of these lesser-known destinations. A trip to Berlin should be anything but vanilla – this is Europe’s sex capital and kink epicentre, so obtain friendly with the locals, depart to pound town like there’s no tomorrow and party prefer it’s going out of fashion.

Word to the wise: Berlin’s more hard-core gay sex scene sometimes jokingly refers to the city as Barelin – but where there’s humour, there’s also truth. So go prepared with condoms and PrEP.

If you are reading this, maybe you are headed to the German capital soon and trying to scope out the best queer clubs, gay bars, or the optimal gay parties the city has to offer.

You've heard all the rumors around the Berlin nightlife, from the never-ending lines to the sadistic bouncers with no formula for whom they allow in and whom they reject, from the hedonistic sexual play corners to the open employ of drugs (particularly in the toilets), from the hour-long parties that complete on a Monday morning to of course the techno/electronic scene, which triumphs all other melody genres, or at least Berliners believe so.

So let's receive to it. Here is the only guide you require for the best gay clubs in Berlin. I group this by clubs (these are venues which typically are open every weekend and sometimes in the week).

However, if you want to read about specific parties (some of which happen on a monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly-basis), inspect out this publish where I curate the gay Berlin parties around Berlin.
