About this place Roses

Roses is one of those bars that is impossible to describe accurately to someone who has not been. The interior is encased in pink fur — walls, ceiling, bar — lit in deep red, with miscellaneous kitsch accumulating over decades. It is a small bar by any standard, which means that on a busy Friday night it reaches a density of humanity that would be intolerable in most contexts but here feels exactly right. Drag queens and hostesses have worked the bar since its earliest years. The music is pop and camp classics. The crowd is absolutely everybody — gay men, lesbians, bisexual people, trans people, straight allies, tourists, neighbourhood regulars who have been coming since the 1990s, and first-time visitors who wandered down Oranienstraße and were drawn in by the pink glow through the windows. On the Oranienstraße in Kreuzberg — one of Berlin's most politically active and community-oriented streets — Roses embodies the inclusive queer spirit that makes this neighbourhood distinct from the more stratified scenes elsewhere in the city. No website, no reservations, no entry fee. Just the bar. Open until the last person leaves.

The way Roses has turned out is sad. It used to be one of the few queer bars in Berlin where you could actually have a good time. It no longer deserves that title. It's become a place for predatory men and straight people to feel a bit more "open-minded." Don't get me wrong. Sexuality shouldn't be a barrier to entry. But when queer people avoid the bar because it no longer feels "safe" and they're looked at like animals in a zoo, something's wrong. To me, that's just pinkwashing. Please call yourselves something else and stop dragging our community through the mud! This is all about profit.

Very cool place, red fluffy walls, unique bright interior, bright and diverse audience, friendly staff. Definitely visit to delve into Berlin's nightlife Photos and videos are prohibited, so pictures only from the restroom
