About this place Melitta Sundström

Melitta Sundström in Berlin's Mehringdamm isn't just a gay bar. It’s a piece of queer history, named for a gospel and pop singer, Melitta Sundström, who was also a transvestite activist and a Berlin fixture.

The place feels old in a good way, with high ceilings and a dark, romantic charm that’s definitely not trying to be trendy. Think faded wallpaper and a quiet hum rather than pulsing beats. They've filled it with vintage magazines, old books, and board games, giving it the vibe of a bohemian café from another era. It's the kind of spot where you can settle in, talk for hours, and forget about whatever else is happening outside.

And it's more than just a place for drinks. There’s a gay library tucked away, plus a small art exhibition space. It makes sense: this place feels like a living archive of Berlin's queer past, not just another bar that happens to be gay. You’ll find locals and tourists mixing, all looking for something a bit more substantial than a typical night out.

If you're tired of flash and want a real, low-key alternative, this is it. Check melitta-sundstroem.de for what’s on and when they’re open.

I often visit Berlin and always go to Melitta with my friends. It's always a great evening. The bartenders are very friendly and attentive. The cocktails are delicious – I especially recommend the "Hot Aperol".

It’s my absolute favourite bar - the staff is always more than nice and we love it there on saturdays. The drinks taste incredible and I would recommend the bar to anyone coming to berlin! Very queer and flinta friendly!
