About
Discover the beating heart of Kreuzberg’s diverse community at Südblock, a cornerstone of the Berlin queer scene. Located right at the iconic Kottbusser Tor, this venue is far more than your standard gay bar; it is a vibrant, inclusive social hub where gay men, lesbians, trans, and non-binary individuals gather alongside the local immigrant community to celebrate the legendary "Kreuzberg mixture." Whether you’re using our gay map to find a relaxed afternoon spot or a late-night social haunt, Südblock offers an authentic urban experience. By day, enjoy the sprawling, wheelchair-accessible terrace—one of the best people-watching perches in the city—complete with coffee, cakes, and vegan-friendly snacks. As the sun sets, the space transforms into a lively cultural center hosting everything from political readings and community film premieres to the famous "Pay What You Want" Sunday brunch and high-energy karaoke nights. Accessibility is a priority here, with the venue featuring an accessible toilet and a barrier-free layout. From the Turkish-influenced "Queer Meyhane" evenings to its dedicated social advice services, Südblock remains a vital LGBTQ+ landmark that fosters solidarity and celebration. For travelers and locals alike, it is an essential stop for anyone seeking a queer-friendly space with true soul and substance in the heart of Berlin.
