Roses Bar

What makes Roses Bar a top recommendation?

Roses Bar is a long-established scene bar on Oranienstraße in Kreuzberg, one of Berlin’s best-known LGBTIQ* hotspots. Despite its small size – it only has two small rooms – the bar has established itself as a fixture in Berlin’s queer nightlife. Its special atmosphere is created by the striking pink, furry walls and the playful, slightly kitschy interior, reminiscent of a mix of retro and pop culture. The bar attracts locals, regulars, and international visitors who appreciate the lively but not overcrowded atmosphere. From the beginning, Roses has been a place where people of various identities can find a stage and experience nightlife off the mainstream.

What highlights can guests particularly look forward to?

Roses Bar mainly plays pop music classics – icons like Madonna, Kylie Minogue, and Michael Jackson create a danceable atmosphere. The drink selection is uncomplicated yet affordable, contributing to relaxed evenings with good music. The combination of cozy seating, fluffy decoration, and the disco ball makes the ambiance particularly special. Even if the bar isn’t known for elaborate cocktails, it impresses with an honest selection of stronger drinks and beer. Occasionally, small specials or music highlights are announced, adding extra flair to a visit.

What should you consider before visiting Roses Bar?

Roses Bar has excellent transport links: Oranienstraße in Kreuzberg is easily accessible by public transport, including several bus lines and the subway. Entry is usually free, making the bar attractive for spontaneous visits. However, it’s important to note that the bar can quickly fill up due to capacity, especially on weekends, so arriving early is advisable. Furthermore, the bar asks its guests for mutual respect – discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated. A special feature is that only photos of oneself or friends, as well as the interior, are allowed in the bar to protect everyone’s privacy.
