This review is one of the ones I am adding just so people know they are still around as of October 2023. Not many reviews in Germany for Yelp. We found this to be a great starting bar and hang out bar amongst all the bars in the area. A lot of them go for the very late night early morning crowd, this one seemed to be more pub like but still has the usual playroom in basement. Ended up coming here a few times during our visit. read more

Prinzknecht - Gay Bars Near Me - Berlin, BE

This was my go to spot (and Woof). The atmosphere reminds me of well, Woofs in ATL, 440 in SF, or Gym Bar with a mix of Atlas Social Club in NYC. The older bartender is the guy to go to. He ain't nice, but he's efficient. Hit place up on a Wednesday or early in your evening other days. If you're not into beer well order a Radler or my go to was Fuchs. Enjoy! read more

I stopped in here since my gay friend wanted to check it out. The bartender shooed him when he went to order us shots. Confused, my friend asked why and he bartender replied "no women" then walked off. We were both extremely turned off by that. I was going to give them my money and wasn't wasn't being rude or disrespectful and yet I get treated as such. Unless you're a gay man looking to get some action, avoid this place- definitely not a hangout spot. read more

We 're a white gay couple in our late 50s and we stayed at the hotel above for a week. We went here a number of times. Generally we enjoyed ourselves, however we also noticed a number of problems. The first is that the bartender (who is our age) is very rude. He's in the wrong trade and definitely unlike the other friendly bar staff. During one interaction with him and another bar staff, I asked for two Weiss bier and while the younger staff just got them, he acted like I was speaking an unknown language. He seems to delight in being difficult, despite the fact he speaks English. It's a real turn off. The second is more problematic. There seems to be a racism problem. As Torontonians we're accustomed to our spaces being filled with people from all over the world. This place is extremely white. Over the course of the week we noticed darker skinned patrons getting frustrated because they were being ignored at the bar and often being asked to relocate outside. Multiple visits to another bar, Tom's, revealed that darker skinned gays go there -- where they were welcomed. Woof, just a few metres away, also doesn't appear to have this problem. read more

Cute bar, decent drink selection, generally queer that bends both ways - kinky enough for some rubber and leather and a little skin, soft enough that heteros seem to feel welcome. Lightning is good and there's a good energy upstairs. In the back is a "men-only" section which is a bit of a double-edged sword. I mean how do you even enforce that? Downstairs is a moderate size dungeon space with a bar that wasn't open on a Friday night, a sling, and a small maze. In most cities this place would be an easy 5 stars, but in Berlin there's a lot of great spaces for drinks, gear, or play space. As this offers decent amounts of all three, it still fills a niche and is worth checking out. read more

Mind your drinks here, boys. I was here several weeks ago while on holiday. Vibe seemed cool, but I was definitely drugged and robbed. Some guy next to me started making small talk (should have been my first red flag). I had a beer and a half, went to the toilet, then came back to finish my beer. I don't remember anything after that, until coming to outside of the bar an hour later, completely disoriented, with no memory of what happened, missing my pocket things (phone, etc). While I normally probably would not blame the establishment, I came back the next day, after my head had cleared. I spoke to the bartender (in German), asking if maybe I had left my things there. He insisted that I definitely had not, without even pretending to check if someone had turned the stuff in. So yeah, be careful. Other than that....seems like a cool spot. read more

CASH ONLY. Can't stress this enough. The bartenders are wonderful. The space is great, don't be an "ugly tourist", be kind and respectful and you'll get the same back. Tips aren't expected but appreciated. read more

A large, well established and popular gay bar, with decent prices. The decor is of exposed brick and wood, with a large central bar, and the large 'Tom of Finland' prints on the wall clearly advertise its intended market of masculine, leather types, although at quieter periods it attracts a more diverse clientele, including women (presumably there with gay friends). There's a small darkroom at the back for the more adventurous... As well as beers they serve coffee and cakes during the day. Can be packed at weekends. read more

PRETENTIOUS AND NOT TOURIST FRIENDLY- Bartender in a Gay Bar for almost 5 years, here. Walked in with my (male) fiancee, and my brother and sister. After looking at a packed front of house, we started walking to the back. We were stopped by the bartender who told us, "no girls allowed in back." To which we politely said, "okay," and went back towards the front. On the way, I overheard the bartender say, "Well, it IS a GAY bar." Obviously. That's why we went there in the first place. I decided since they were so disrespectful that we would leave, and nobody in our party objected. I have dealt with pretentious gay bars in the past, and choose not to spend my money there. This was a similar case, and even though the pictures looked great, I didn't feel welcome. That's not okay in my book. read more

If you're a gay senior that's the place to be. And that's also what they wanna cater to. I went there to wait for a friend and when I was using the bathroom the old gay guy at the bar was patronizing as hell. Probably because I look like I'm in my 20ies. So when you are looking for a salt daddy or when you are one - your crowd. Definitely not mine. Nicer places in the area. Definitely. read more

That was one of the most lovely bar we've been while in town. There was a Carnival party at the night and shots were given free of charge. Very nice crowd, definitely a must whenever in town. In the basement you can find some extra fun. Staff were nice and friendly and very hot also. read more

Use exact change. I'd have rated this place higher if the barman didn't consistently short change people. Happened to me a few times and saw it happen to others repeatedly. If not for that, the beer was a good price. A pretty typical bears and bearded gays sort of pub. Enjoyable for meeting people and cheesy pop music. Nice bare brick decor. Busy at the weekend. Seems like a lot of Americans and other foreigners go. read more

Often crowded, but always nice to be there. Many sexy guys. Prices are standard for Berlin. At morning it's great place for late coffee after party :-) read more

Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Prior reviews about sexist bartenders seem unfounded. We were a party of four (all men) but there were at least two other parties there that included women, and they were served, not snubbed. We visit Berlin every summer and will definitely come back to Prinzknecht next year! read more

Must go for anyone visiting Berlin. Very friendly atmosphere, crowd and bartenders!

Super bad service , unfriendly and rude barkeepers. Don't recommend this place at all.
