What makes Burgklause special

If you walk past on Burgstraße, you won’t immediately recognise Burgklause as a queer pub. Inside you’ll find a tiled floor, portraits of stars on the wall and a row of wooden penises on the bar, which regulars like to smile about. Guests and Google reviews repeatedly describe the staff as very friendly.

The crowd is older, and most guests are regulars who have known each other for years. Newcomers are quickly welcomed into the group. In summer most people sit outside the pub until late in the evening.

Prices are fair: Gilde Ratskeller in a half-litre glass costs €4.90, Franziskaner €4.70, long drinks such as vodka lemon or Bacardi cola €7.50, and shots from €4.
