About
Welcome to Ficken 3000, a cornerstone of the alternative queer scene in Berlin. Located on the vibrant border of Kreuzberg and Neukölln, this legendary venue is an essential stop for any traveler navigating the Berlin gay map. Known for its unpretentious, gritty, and raw atmosphere, Ficken 3000 caters primarily to gay men and the local queer community seeking an underground experience that stays true to the city’s radical roots. The venue is ingeniously split across two levels to suit your mood. The ground floor functions as a dimly lit social hub, featuring a smoking-friendly bar, cozy seating, and TV screens playing adult content to set a provocative tone. It is the ideal spot to grab a drink and mingle with a diverse crowd of bears, twinks, and fetish enthusiasts. As the night deepens, the action moves subterranean. The basement houses an extensive, hygienically maintained darkroom equipped with private cabins, glory holes, slings, and cages—perfect for uninhibited cruising and late-night exploration. Whether you are visiting for the famous 'Lohntütenball' on Tuesdays (offering 2-for-1 drinks) or the high-octane weekend parties like 'Manhole,' Ficken 3000 provides an authentic LGBTQ+ environment that is unapologetically Berlin. Remember that this is a cash-only establishment, so come prepared for a no-frills, high-heat night in the heart of Germany’s queer capital.
