Café Keese Berlin

Café Keese: Dance Hall with Table Telephones in Charlottenburg

The first Café Keese opened in Hamburg in 1948, followed by the dance hall on Bismarckstrasse in Charlottenburg in 1966. Today, daughter Nadine and her husband Frank run the establishment in its third generation. There are around 400 seats, two bars, and an approximately 80-square-meter dance floor, along with red velvet furniture, a disco ball, and table telephones, which can be used to arrange dances across the hall.

For a long time, Keese was known for the “paradoxical ball,” where ladies invited their dance partners. The audience is diverse: regular guests who have been coming for decades dance alongside people who are there for the first time.

Disco Fox, Rock’n’Roll, and Dance Tea

On Tuesdays, the Disco Fox party starts at 18:00, with a free taster course from 19:00, for which neither registration nor a dance partner is required. On the first Wednesday of the month, Rock’n’Roll is danced, and on Fridays and Saturdays, the party goes from 19:30 until late into the night. On Sundays, the dance tea with bingo begins at 14:30. The venue remains closed on Mondays and Thursdays.
