About this place Die kleine Philharmonie

Die kleine Philharmonie is a gay bar in Berlin that feels like a trip to the past. It's all high-gloss wood and waiters in starched black and white, a throwback to an earlier Berlin. You go here for the burlesque-style music, which starts the evening with a wink and a nod. The place isn't trying too hard, just letting you settle in, enjoy the company, and take in the live acts. It's intimate, not a huge club. You'll find it on Schaperstraße. If you're new to Berlin's gay scene or just looking for a familiar spot, this place feels like it's been there forever. Check their website, http://diekleinephilharmonie.eu/, for what's on and when they're open.

My favorite bar, I've known it since 1980. They recently added a fantastic cocktail menu and a huge selection of rum and whiskey. You can't eat there, but you can smoke. The ventilation is excellent, though, so even non-smokers feel comfortable. The atmosphere is the same as it always was; it's no longer a gay bar. I think it's a must-visit for every Berliner and every visitor to Berlin.

The service is incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is always cozy. It's a great place to sit and have a good conversation over a drink.
