Admiralstraße 1-2, 10999 Berlin
General Description

A queer, immigrant-owned bar/cafe/restaurant, with occassional events and parties. To find out about them, visit the website.

It serves alcohol, soft and hot drinks and a varied menu of foods, including many vegan options, as well as cakes.

Frequented by the Berlin genderqueer and queer-feminist population (not to be confused with a gay bar), it has a picturesque beer garden with a water founten, trees and light garlands.

A place to see and be seen (by your queer exes and everyone you've ever met in the Berlin queer community).

Lighting

Multiple direct lighting sources, including fairy lights, colorful light garlands, spots and several large disco balls.

Human Load

From 19 on it gets fuller and fuller by the hour. When full, you are likely to have to brush against strangers, especially indoors and in the bathroom corridor.

When sitting outside, be ready to be approached by multiple people collecting donations to cover their own living costs. A polite "I'm sorry" will be enough to inform them if you are currently unable or unwilling to donate.

Sounds and Loudness

When busy is can get very loud, both indoors and outdors.

Indoors: the concrete walls create an echoing space, where conversation and music make for a loud mix.

Outdoors: the very numerous seats mean it gets very loud with conversation, which is added to the sound of the central and busy intersection, including frequent emergency vehicle sirens.

It is least busy and loud from 17 to 19, except for Sundays when brunch is very busy in the afternoon.

Smells and Smoke

There is a smoking terrace that you unfortunately have to walk through to reach the front door in winter.

In summer you can access the bar through a side door.

Navigation at Address

The terrace is located on the street at the address. Walk through the awning and cross the terrace to reach the bar and order.

 
How to get service

Order at the bar. Cash or card accepted.

Table reservations are possible for groups of 8 or more and until 7 p.m. at the latest.

If you order food, you will get a "UFO", a plastic device which will beep and vibrate when your food is ready. Then you'll have to go to the kitchen to pick it up. Next to the windows in front of the kitchen counter where you pick iyour food up you can also get a tray, napkins, cutlary and condiments.

Waitstaff only clears table.

The menu is written over the bar, which can make for a stressful experience if you don't know yet what you'll order. So it might be a good idea to visit the website and decide what to order in advance.

There is often a rather long queue to reach the bar to order.

 
Toilets

There are multi-cell all-gender toilets, and one stall of wheelchair accessible toilets.
