Part of the Gay Berlin Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Berlin, Germany
Campy queer bar on Friedrichshain's RAW grounds, run by drag legend Nina Queer.
Bar Zum schmutzigen Hobby, "The Dirty Hobby," is a cult queer bar on the RAW grounds in Friedrichshain, made famous by Berlin drag legend Nina Queer and set inside a converted former fire station. The look is deliberately trashy and campy: old brick, sofa corners, armchairs, and a small terrace. It's one of eastern Berlin's best-known scene bars, and it earns the reputation. The week has a rhythm regulars know, with dancing midweek, '90s parties, weekend DJ sets, and weekend screening nights for big TV moments. The crowd is a genuine mix of trans folks, gay men, local bohemians, and the occasional art-world face or visiting celebrity. If you're working through Friedrichshain's queer nightlife, this is the warm, low-key counterpoint to the bigger clubs around it.
