Gay bars and clubs in Schöneberg - Schöneberg has a whole bunch of bars and clubs to choose from. Whatever you are into, you will probably find it in Schöneberg. One tip is to look out for the bars offering 2 for 1 drinks promotions because these will be the most happening places on that particular evening.
Where is Schöneberg? Schöneberg is located in the centre west of Berlin, close to the Zoological Garden and Tiergarden Park. It has everything you need: shopping centers, restaurants, high end hotels, transport links and of course, the bulk of the gay scene is right here. The gay action happens around Fuggerstrasse and Mostrasse, where the majority of the bars, clubs and cafes are based.
