What reviewers say

Visitors praise the Comeback Bar for its friendly atmosphere and welcoming owner, Walter, who makes an effort to ensure everyone feels at home. However, some reviewers note that despite advertising as gay/lesbian, the clientele appears to be predominantly gay men, and one visitor found the music choice to be a significant letdown.

About this place Comeback Bar

Comeback Bar is Bern's only dedicated gay bar, in a vaulted cellar at Rathausgasse 42 in the Old Town. It marked 25 years in 2025 and works as the local community's living room: a mostly male, mixed-age crowd of regulars, plus visitors who find it through the guides. It's a bar for drinks and conversation rather than a dance club, though recent reviews mention a DJ on Saturdays from about 22:00. The bar's own site lists Tuesday to Thursday 18:00–02:00 and Friday to Saturday 18:00–03:30, closed Sunday and Monday. It rates 4.3 from about 160 Google reviews.

The place to be in Bern. Two attentive bartenders. A favorite for over 25 years. From mellow tunes to a party atmosphere on Saturdays from 10 pm with a DJ.

You just don't want that as a neighbor. Stupid and noisy... like so many things on this street. What a shame... What a sad world...

I visited the Comeback Bar alone as a woman and immediately felt comfortable. Walter is passionate about his work, and you instantly feel at home. Everyone feels welcome here, regardless of their orientation. Many heterosexual people walk past (I've observed this from outside) and don't dare to go in, but feel free to come in – nothing will happen to you! Prices are perfectly normal and very reasonable. Thanks, Walter, and see you soon!

Small, traditional Bernese basement bar. Very gay clientele and a very welcoming owner. Good price range.
