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

Gaststätte Harlekin "ob so oder so" is Duisburg's flagship gay bar, widely described as the last dedicated gay bar left in the city. Tucked away on Realschulstraße 16 in the Dellviertel, just south of the Innenstadt, it is a compact, roughly 130-square-metre local where regulars, karaoke and an unpretentious neighbourhood feel set the tone rather than big-club spectacle. The crowd is a friendly mix of long-time locals and visitors, and the bar has become the anchor of what remains of Duisburg's gay scene. If you want one address that reliably delivers a warm, gay welcome in Duisburg, this is it. Hours can vary, so it is worth checking ahead before a special trip.

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...
