About this place Hafen

Hafen has been on the Motzstraße in Schöneberg since 1991 and is one of the few bars that has survived the generational changes that have altered Berlin's gay scene since reunification. The Motzstraße and Winterfeldtplatz area was the heart of West Berlin's gay scene from the 1970s onward — what Hafen carries is institutional memory. The bar is unpretentious in the way that old Berlin bars are unpretentious: the pool table that has been in the same corner for 30 years, the regular clientele who know each other's names, and a level of decoration that prioritises function over aesthetics. Schöneberg's gay scene is quieter now than it was in the 1980s and 1990s — much of the younger generation has moved east to Kreuzberg and Neukölln — but Hafen's staying power speaks to the ongoing desire for exactly this kind of place. It is the bar where you come before going somewhere else and stay until 4am because the conversation was better than whatever you had planned. Tuesday quiz nights are a Schöneberg institution.

Update: I have no idea what my comment has to do with India. And then you immediately resort to stereotypes! But that just shows what's wrong with that place :) You can pay by card everywhere, even in the most remote (German) countryside. I won't even start on other European countries. But at the harbor, apparently it's not possible without social demotion. Makes sense, right? Card payment under our terms = no card payment! No card payment available. In 2026, this is no longer acceptable and simply unfriendly to customers, especially for such a busy place as the harbor. You can figure out for yourself why it's still not available.

One can draw their own conclusions as to why it is still not available.

Terrible service. Lukewarm beer, and no apology. Cash only, which only seems to be the case in Germany these days, probably because of the black market, and of course, no air conditioning. Toilets in a catastrophic state. The crowd was very agitated; there was no sign of a relaxed atmosphere.

We were sitting in a smoking area; as a non-smoker, I was overwhelmed.
