About this place Zum Schwejk

Zum Schwejk is a traditional gay Kneipe at Schäfergasse 20, a couple of minutes from Konstablerwache in the Bermudadreieck, the small cluster of gay bars around Alte Gasse. Expect a wooden bar counter, beer and Apfelwein, Schlager and pop, and heavy seasonal decoration that regulars keep mentioning in reviews. The crowd is mostly local men, many of them older, and one 2025 reviewer called it the place that best preserves the old German gay pub. Google lists it as open Tuesday to Saturday from 16:00, until 03:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, closed Sunday and Monday. Ratings are mixed (3.7 from about 260 reviews), with praise for the atmosphere and complaints about service on busy nights. Bar Central and Tangerine are round the corner on Elefantengasse.

A great place to have fun, they play all kinds of music, the staff is cool, I've been here several times and would love to come back.

And the whole place smells like a toilet with urine. Aside from the rude manager, he's a special case of being his own worst enemy. I treated friends to over a hundred euros' worth of drinks, paid, went back in briefly with a new card that I couldn't find right away, all for 10 minutes and a beer... and was treated like a deadbeat. Yes, I used to be a regular, but if you're not fair-skinned, you get treated especially rudely. It doesn't matter how much you spend. The charm it once had is gone; it's a cheap imitation with bad management. Where has the friendly gay community gone?

If you are younger than 50, don’t go. Really unfriendly stuff also
