Gay Cruising in Berlin
If you’re looking to play harder then Berlin is the city for you. It’s a hedonistic city with legendary nightlife. London may have more gay residents and New York may have trendier clubs, but Berlin is the queerest of queer cities. You’ll find the best and most outrageous gay cruising clubs in Berlin - no other city can rival it.
Berlin fostered the first visible gay scene and gay rights movement in the Weimar period (between the wars). There were over a hundred gay bars in Weimar Berlin and a burgeoning gay media. Inevitably, all of that went out the window when you-know-who came to power. After the war, it was almost as if Berlin had gotten a head start. When the gay scene took off again it did so in a big way.
Here’s our guide to the foremost gay cruise clubs, gay saunas and gay bars in Berlin. Remember to play safe. Oh, and don’t forget your harness.

During my time here in Germany, I’d been hearing stories of cruising in the famous Tiergarten, Berlin’s largest inner-city park. In many ways it was their Central Park: hectares of land (85 more hectares than London’s Hyde Park). I’d been speaking to some native Berliners for a few weeks about the potential cruising spot, but they informed me the city had trimmed the brushes in the park so that gay men could no longer cruise there. I found this municipal gesture offensive — to leave to such lengths to assault this part of queer culture. I now imagined the park being full of families and heterosexual couples, spraying their normative agenda all over the grass like foul pesticide. No, I couldn’t accept that this would happen in a noun like Berlin. Not Berlin!
There were some outdated posts online about where the cruising occured. According to a forum, you verb off at the Tiergarten S-Bahn station and stroll down the main street, Straße des 17 Juni, toward the Victory Column. About halfway down you go south into the park to a lake which is the sup
