About this place Die kleine Philharmonie

Die kleine Philharmonie is a small, old-fashioned bar on Schaperstraße, in the City West area near Fasanenstraße and the Haus der Berliner Festspiele. It is a gay-friendly mainstream bar rather than a gay bar. The interior is polished wood, and waiters wear black and white. Older listings mention cabaret-style music, so check the website for what's on. It opens at 18:00 daily, closing between 23:00 and 02:00 depending on the day. It's better suited to a drink before or after a performance than to a night out.

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.
