About this place New Action

New Action is a men-only cruising bar on Kleiststraße in Schöneberg, a short walk from Nollendorfplatz. It has a leather and fetish leaning. Listings describe two bars, a large darkroom and a cage, so most people come here to play rather than just drink. Leather or fetish gear fits the dress code, though rules can vary by night. It opens Wednesday to Sunday from 22:00. It closes around 05:00 midweek and runs until 07:00 on Friday and Saturday nights, which are the busiest. Keep valuables to a minimum and bring condoms or PrEP as you would for any darkroom. Ask the bartender about house rules on your first visit.

I admit New Action is not for the faint hearted, and that's a good thing. This bar rocks, in the best German way.

Great place for leather or fetish guys in general. Can get crowded at times but staff is always polite. Bring cash for entry, but card accepted for drinks. Old style cruising vibes, nice music. 1 star less for the heavy smoke inside (even for smokers can be daunting). An air exaust or designated smoking area would elevate the place to 5 stars.

An excellent historic cruising bar with a fetish and leather theme. The atmosphere is very clean and the bartenders are welcoming. I'd say it's a great idea that the entrance fee includes coat check and a soft drink. If you like the leather theme, I recommend it; you won't leave disappointed, guaranteed!
