Visit Hamburg's oldest gay bar! Piccadilly Bar offers a cozy, historic queer vibe with kitschy decor and legendary St. Pauli hospitality.
Step into a living piece of history at Piccadilly Bar, the oldest gay bar in Hamburg. Tucked away in the legendary St. Pauli district at Silbersacktwiete 1, this iconic venue has been a cornerstone of the local queer scene since 1958. Long before the city’s modern LGBTQ+ movement took shape, Piccadilly served as a vital sanctuary and social hub, and it remains a cherished landmark on every traveler’s gay map today. The atmosphere here is the definition of 'Gemütlichkeit.' With its rustic red interior, vintage whiskey jugs, and an eclectic collection of coffee mugs hanging from the ceiling, the bar offers a kitschy, time-capsule charm that you won’t find anywhere else. While it is particularly popular among an established crowd of gay men, the bar’s exceptional hospitality—often including free snacks and a warm welcome from the owners—makes everyone feel at home. Whether you’re looking for a quiet, conversational spot away from the Reeperbahn’s roar or want to experience authentic queer culture in a smoking-friendly setting, Piccadilly Bar is a must-visit. It’s a place where decades of stories are etched into the walls, offering a cozy, inclusive retreat in the heart of Germany’s most famous party district.
