About this place Gaststätte Harlekin "ob so oder so" - Duisburg

Harlekin "ob so oder so" is a small Kneipe at Realschulstraße 16 in the Dellviertel, just south of the city centre. gay-web.info lists it as a scene pub for gay people and friends, and the Ruhr magazine strobo called it Duisburg's last gay bar back in 2021. The current owners took over around 2015; the bar itself goes back to the 1980s. Expect one room of regulars, rainbow flags, karaoke on Friday nights and the odd drag show; on 4 December 2026 the karaoke night doubles as a World AIDS Day stand with AIDS-Hilfe. Hours are posted in the bar's Facebook group rather than online, and it tends to stay open as long as people are there. Google gives it 4.4 from about 155 reviews.

A really nice pub with friendly staff and cool customers. It's easy to strike up a conversation, and even though I'm usually quite reserved, I joined in the karaoke right away. Everything was just perfect. We'll definitely be back.

Just arrive and feel at home, everyone is so lovely and karaoke offers a huge selection of songs, there's something for everyone and there's always applause 😁

The worst place ever... as a Herero, you're not allowed to dance, party, or have fun... Terrible service and the toilets are dirtier than at the main train station... I feel sorry for anyone who ends up there...

Cheap, greasy, tasteless - fulfills every cliché.
