About
Discover Heile Welt, a true institution in the heart of Berlin’s legendary Schöneberg district. Located on Motzstraße—the city’s most famous rainbow street—this welcoming gay bar lives up to its name, which translates to 'Ideal World' or 'Safe World.' Whether you’re a local regular or a tourist exploring the city via a gay map, Heile Welt offers a sophisticated yet laid-back alternative to the high-octane club scene. Step inside to find a cozy, retro-lounge atmosphere defined by its iconic plush walls, dim lighting, and a living-room vibe that encourages connection. It is a favorite haunt for gay men, lesbians, and the broader queer community who appreciate high-quality cocktails, such as their signature Cucumber Smash or Pornstar Martinis, alongside excellent local beers. What sets this venue apart is its 'straightforward' charm; the music volume is kept at a level that actually allows for conversation, making it one of the best spots in Berlin for a first date or a relaxed night out with friends. From Drag Race viewing parties to casual after-work drinks, Heile Welt remains a cornerstone of the LGBTQ+ community, offering a warm, inclusive space where everyone can feel at home. Whether you're starting your night or looking for a late-night social hub, this Schöneberg staple is an essential stop on any queer travel itinerary.
