Don Club - Dortmund

The people there are simply decent; if you're looking for nice people to talk to, you absolutely have to go there, it's definitely worth a visit.

I'm glad to hear the place is still open and that Bodo is still behind the bar after all these years. I used to go regularly on my visits to Bochum and Dortmund in the 90s and early 2000s. It looks like things have got posher - back then it had a great darkroom, an artistic and demi-monde clientele (including a bevy of Moroccan queens - I remember Dominique and Jamila in particular). A couple of my acquaintances from those times have died, including one of the artists I was friendly with. I wonder how many others have also gone. I guess I'll never find out unless I go back; I'd certainly like to.

Always worth a visit

It's really great there, the service is excellent and friendly.

Don Club Dortmund – timelessly legendary My first visit to the Don Club was in 1997. Then as now, it was clear: you always ended up there. The Don was (and still is) a gathering place for the creatures of the dark night – somehow gloomy, somehow magical. Unforgettable will be Grandma Verena, who, at least 80 years old, always sat at the bar and talked about her golden days with James Last. A true character. And then Bodo – the man behind the bar – there back then, and still there today. Amazing. The night before last, we were there again. And it was as if time had stood still: great music, a genuine atmosphere, a night that felt like it used to be. Thank you for these memories and all the nights we often spent at the Don until dawn.

Cool after hour 💕💕💕

A nice little nightclub, somewhat hidden away in Dortmund city center. It's geared more towards men, but women are always welcome too. Huge selection of drinks, reasonable prices.

Always funny!
