Bar · Schöneberg · Motzstraße · Berlin
Begin the evening on Motzstraße with a drink at a familiar address in Schöneberg’s gay scene.
Read the visitBerlin listingThere’s something appealing about beginning a Berlin evening with one address and leaving the rest open. Heile Welt, a small bar on Motzstraße, makes a natural first stop after exploring Schöneberg. Its place in the local gay scene gives it the appeal of an established meeting point, with a setting suited to a drink before dinner or a later outing.
Come with friends and give this part of the evening some breathing room. The compact space can get busy, particularly at weekends, so we’d keep plans flexible rather than expect a quiet corner on demand. Pair it with a browse at nearby Eisenherz earlier in the day, or make it your last stop after a meal in the neighbourhood.
