This bar is the smallest bar I've ever been in, as well. The bar-tending area fills about two-thirds of the space and, including the seats at the bar, seats about 15 people. It's located under the U Bahn/S Bahn tracks in Alexanderpatz. Go there if you're not afraid of swilling drinks with Berlin queens!

This is just another gay-friendly bar for old punkers who like to drink lots of beer. Astra la vista, Baby! Noch eine Absteige der Kreuzberger Punkmafia mit den üblichen Zutaten. Kleine Speisen, Astra Pils, Rauchschwaden und irgendwann läuft Motörhead. Nicht verkehrt und im Wrangelkiez immer gut für einen Absacker zum finalen Absturz.

I have only been here for when they have had concerts, which seems ridiculous if you have been to…read morethe place, just because it is so small. But yes, I have been here for two concerts. One time the band played in the bar and everyone had to sit/stand/jump/dance outside. This of course was during the summer. The second time around, it was an acoustic set by one of my favorite bands. I couldn't complain. Except about the general layout of the place....I always hate it when you enter and the bar is just standing RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THE DOOR. If there is a line for some drinks, then the first thing you do is run into people. It's quite annoying. Also annoying are the drunkards that stumble in and out. That one night that I was there in particular, there were a few smelly ones. However, that is not really the establishment's fault, is it? At the same time, I like the glowing letters they have set against the brick walls and the giant bull hanging from the ceiling. Flying male cows are cool, and so is exposed brick. I would come here again, if it isn't full in front of the tresen, if it were summer, or if another decent music act was going on. The service was decent and they do speak English as well. Its more of a punk place too (mohawk punk types) I should mention, but they also play a lot of pop punk (ie Green Day friendly). Typical XBerg non-electro scene shindig.

The scene was decent (middle school hits), until I tried to dance on the platform by the DJ, which…read moreI like to do. The DJ didn't let it happen. He grabbed my shoulder with full force and pushed me off the platform. When I told him it hurt, he made a mocking sad face and then waved his had bye-bye. I will never come here when I'm in Berlin again. Also, it will be good to note that I tried to take a picture of the DJ, but the bouncers kicked me out right away.

The new location in Friedrichshain (RAW grounds) surely is an improvement in terms of heading out…read moreto other places afterwards. The new interior design is questionable. As much as glitz and glamour is still persistent, the actual bar is too far behind, always crowded and as much as I tried to find positive attributes: it is a cube. A fairly soulless cube that was decorated nicely. Nevertheless - the beergarden is amazing, the downstairs when open fantastic and even the toilets will make you encounter a different view on things... Despite all that: IT ROCKS. Gotta love Nina Queer, gotta love Germany's Next Top Model and (German classic) Tatort Public Viewing and go crave for the Glamourquiz! Just keep in mind NOT to argue with Nina... unless you fancy public humiliation. Hehe. Oh also, if you show your man or lady bits on the little stage, don't worry about drinks for the night - you'll get them for free! With some fixed dates and changing special nights it'll always be worth to pay the Hobby a visit.

He didn't seem to think the notice was ambiguous. Actually this is a place of notices and behaviour policing. Written on the front door is a warning,' no racism,no sexism, no homophobia, no anti-Semitism, no Nazis'. Laudable indeed, but what should be added is 'no humour'. Be careful what you wear, it could be misconstrued in the myriad of forbiddens. Anything that fits in the list of no-no's will be ejected! Having said that the clientele are an affable bunch and it's worth a visit.
