About
Tucked away in the heart of Berlin’s Mitte district, Betty F*** is a legendary institution that every traveler using a gay map should have on their radar. This intimate basement gay bar, located on the trendy Mulackstraße, offers a quintessential Berlin experience that is both gritty and glamorous. To enter, you’ll need to ring the doorbell—a ritual that adds to the venue's exclusive, speakeasy-inspired charm. Once inside, you are greeted by a cozy, red-lit space adorned with kitschy, 'trashy-chic' decor and a wraparound couch that encourages conversation. While Betty F*** is a favorite haunt for gay men and fashionistas, it remains a welcoming, inclusive hub for the entire LGBTQ+ community. It’s the perfect social spot to start your night with a rare-for-Berlin Kölsch on tap or to wind down with late-night cocktails after the city’s larger clubs have peaked. The music here is a nostalgic celebration of 80s and 90s hits, often leading to spontaneous dance sessions in the compact space. Whether you’re looking for a friendly chat with the bartenders or a queer space that feels like a hidden living room, Betty F*** captures the authentic, unconventional spirit of Berlin’s nightlife.
