Betty F Bar

What makes Betty F Bar a top recommendation?

The Betty F Bar at Mulackstraße 13 is one of the trendiest scene bars for LGBTIQ* in Berlin-Mitte and deliberately chose against a prominent location. Instead, this scene bar is found in a basement location, which creates its hidden character. The bar captivates with its individually selected interior design, which is intentionally kitschy and trashy. In doing so, Betty F creates an atmosphere where visitors to the queer scene immediately feel at home. The bar’s name refers to Betty Ford, wife of US President Gerald Ford, who founded the world-renowned Betty Ford Clinic after her own experiences with alcohol addiction. This reference gives the bar humorous depth and makes it a popular institution.

What highlights can guests particularly look forward to?

The Betty F Bar offers a varied program throughout the year, regularly featuring DJ sets and live entertainment. The music repertoire ranges from 80s and 90s classics to current hits that make dancefloor hearts beat faster. A special highlight is Kölsch beer on tap, which distinguishes this scene bar and rounds off the drink selection. Drink prices are affordable, which is why many guests use Betty F as an ideal starting point for their evening tour. Especially in the late night hours, when other scene clubs are already full, visitors can still find space here to dance or relax.

What should you consider before visiting Betty F?

The Betty F Bar opens daily from 8 PM and is open until 5 AM on weekends. On weekdays, the scene bar closes at 3 AM. The location in the Scheunenviertel is easily accessible by public transport, with the nearby S-Bahn station Hackescher Markt being the best route. An important tip: While its compact size is part of its charm, it also means that it can spontaneously be fully occupied. Also, be aware that Betty F Bar is a popular last stop before heading home and becomes significantly louder and more crowded around midnight.

Editor’s Conclusion

We consider Betty F Bar an insider tip and a true scene institution that reflects the essence of Berlin: authentic, unconventional, and full of character. This LGBTIQ* scene bar offers exactly what many miss in the modern club landscape: a place where the queer community truly feels at home. The deliberately trashy interior, affordable drinks, and personal atmosphere make Betty F a top recommendation for anyone who wants to experience a genuine scene bar evening after work. Here, people from all social strata and generations meet to celebrate together or wind down the evening. The Betty F Bar therefore remains indispensable in Berlin’s LGBTIQ* scene.
