About this place Cafe PRINZs

Café PRINZs is widely described as Karlsruhe's only dedicated queer bar, a warm café-bar in the historic Dörfle on Zähringerstraße 15, just off Fasanenplatz. Under new ownership since early 2025, it presents itself as an explicitly queer safe space and anchors the city's compact LGBTQ+ nightlife. Regulars come for a relaxed daytime café atmosphere that shifts into a lively bar in the evenings, with a friendly, mixed-age local crowd. The venue is best known for its events: drag shows by local performers, Drag Bingo nights, queer meet-ups and DJ evenings. It holds a strong Google rating across several hundred reviews, reflecting its reputation as the community's living room. Central and easy to reach on foot from the Marktplatz and Kronenplatz, Café PRINZs is the natural first stop for any LGBTQ+ visitor to Karlsruhe — check its website or social channels for the current programme of drag and party nights.

Simply WOW, everything tastes absolutely delicious. Everyone is so relaxed and friendly! Every time you're there, you have a wonderful time and always want to come back. The service and the owner are just fantastic. By the way, they also have the best Espresso Martini! 👀 200 stars

A super cute bar with incredibly friendly people and staff. Great outdoor area and cool events. Best Espresso Martini I've ever had! 💅🏼

Super nice and open people and a really great atmosphere. The cocktails are especially good. My favorite drink here, though, is the cola beer 😁

The food and drinks are simply incredible. The staff are friendly. It's my absolute favorite place. They've put a lot of effort into the cocktail selection, and you can taste the love and attention to detail in every creation. I recommend everyone stop by. I especially remember the young waiter, Philipp, for his exceptional service.
