Heile Welt Bar sits right on Motzstraße in the Schöneberg district, Berlin's best-known street for gay and lesbian nightlife, just a short walk from Nollendorfplatz station. The front area is built for spontaneous mingling and flirting, with a clear view of the action at the bar. Those after something quieter can retreat to the cosy lounge at the back, where live piano turns up now and then.
Entry is free and drink prices sit in the mid-range. As a classic fixture of Berlin's gay bar scene, Heile Welt Bar has long been one of the neighbourhood's steady haunts – a place without much of a concept beyond a long tradition and a regular crowd that feels at home here.
