Welcome to my top 10 places to go to see the prettiest faces in town. Yes, It's the list of all things gay. I should know, I'm quite the homosexual myself. In this list you will find places for doing a little dance, making a lot of love and generally getting down [or going down] with fellow people who just so happen to prefer things homo. So wether you like twinks, bears, cubs, doms, subs or trans, there should be something in this list to suit you!
1 - Cocktail D'amore
Chez Jacki
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_157288653038
This party has been the talk of the hairy homo scene since it popped up, From Discodromo and DJ Boris comes this monthly party which will make you sweat alongside the faggerati of the alternative and bear queer scenes.
2 - Berghain (Sundays)
www.berghain.com
If it's a more sexed up homo crowd you are looking for, then look no further than Berghain dancefloor on a sunday, By this point the office drearies are resting their hungover heads for another week of office work, leaving the dancefloor to the purely hedonistic muscled men [with the odd creative cat admiring from a distance]
3. Homopatik
www.myspace.com/homopatik
http://www.facebook.com/people/Homopatik-Berlin/1805624286
This party is like the gay glue that brings together a perfect ratio of twink/ bear/ trans/ norm/ closet/ bi/ lesbo. With such a wide variety of people and such spectacular music, how could one say no? The promoters of this party really have the concept and visuals strong and there is a lot of following to this party. THUMBS UP!
4. Möbel Olfe - Thursday nights
Reichenberger Str. 177
Ubahn: Kottbusser Tor
http://www.moebel-olfe.de/
I have no idea what happens to this bar early thursday evening but it's as if every homosexual with facial hair tries to cram themselves into this bar, naturally as the only twink I try and assume position at the back on a stool with a good view over the ocean of hunk, music is varied depending on the week and eyes are throwing flirty looks constantly
5. Roses Bar
Oranienstraße 187
Ubahn: Kottbusser Tor
Anyone who doesn't know Roses needs their head checked, This lovely little bar is one of my favorite hang outs, it's like being inside a vagina, if it was a gay vagina, bright pink shag fur carpets covering the walls and ceiling and open until the late hours of the morning. With all the gorgeously tacky ornaments and flashing virgin mary pictures a man who likes men could desire. Love the staff and cheap drinks too!
6. Lab.oratory Club (Next door to Berghain)
This is the place your friends told you about, you know, the ones with the piss parties and all that crazy stuff you never knew existed, I must admit it's not somewhere I frequently go, but to any man who has a sex drive I do think it's somewhere one must visit, tip: dress code is generally a jock strap, or nothing at all. 2-4-1 drinks get you sloshed and the playground for sex lovers including dark rooms, glory holes, swings, piss showers and much more keep everyone entertained. [the picture shown for some reason shows people wearing far too much clothing, but it was the only non x-rated one i could come across]
7. London Calling
Schwuz, Mehrringdam 61
Www.schwuz.de
So you can see from my above taste it's all a bit hairy huh? Well this one is definitely a place for the boys, It's like twink heaven, and heaven for twink lovers. All of Berlin's smooth queer crowd gather here to get toes tapping and tongues wagging, any man who isn't into hair or muscle wouldn't be caught dead not being at this place on a friday night.
8. Barbie Deinhoff
Open daily
Schlesische Str. 16 10977
www.Barbiedeinhoff.de
This little bar holds much more than meets the eye, at first you would think it is a small queer bar, cosy and lovely, when actually this is a home to a lot of artists and dj's in Berlin, metaphorically speaking. This is where Charlie Le Mindu held his pop up hair salons, Peaches spun tracks and it has paved the way to some of the most creative minds in Berlin allowing them to showcase their work and DJ their sets there.
9. Chantals House of Shame
Every Thursday
Club: Bassy, Schönhauser Allee 176
www.myspace.com/chantalshouseofshame
This night is more for the fag/trans crowd, again similar to Schwuz in the sense of younger boys playing around, but also the trans/drag scene, or part of at least, it's nice to see people getting dressed up, in Chantals House of Shame you have the option to dress up big, or take your top off. and both are accepted openly. Every thursday a new performance from a band or artist.
10.Badeschiff
Eichenstraße 4
www.arena-berlin.de/
Okay so this place isn't gay, but i'm sorry... a swimming pool filled with saucy guys in skimpy swim wear splashing around in a pool... can't get much gayer to me, and if you're not already gay when you go there, you will be when you leave. unless you're a woman in which case it will reinstate why you love men so much. Unless you are a lesbian, in which case there are women in there I guess. anyway... it's great for perving on people that are one tiny piece of cloth away from being naked... GAY.
