This long-running queer party institution is the go-to spot for high-energy flirting and dancing. Different parties draw different punters to the three floors, lovingly nicknamed 'cathedral', 'bunker' and 'salon' and ringing with the entire sound spectrum from pop to techno, depending on the night. A great spot for easing into Berlin’s LGBTIQ party scene.
