The pub is small: dark red walls, dim lighting, a tiled floor and three tables with upholstered benches. Most of the action happens at the bar. One guest writes in the Google reviews that he first came into the scene here thirty years ago.During visits by mann-liebt-mann.de the guests were between 20 and 50; the place lives off its regulars, but everyone is welcome. Because the room is small, you quickly get talking to others, and the flirt factor is correspondingly high. In reviews, guests praise the pleasant atmosphere and the friendly bartender.Together with Bar jeder Sicht, the queer cultural centre about 500 metres away, the Chapeau is the heart of the scene in Mainz. It is open during the week too, Wednesday to Saturday until 2 am.A good fit if you …like small, dimly lit pubsenjoy getting talking at the barwant to go out queer during the week toowant to support the Mainz sceneNot ideal if you …are looking for a big venue or dance floorexpect freshly renovated surroundingswant to go out on a Sunday or Monday, as it is closed thenOur tip: Sit at the bar; at the Chapeau almost everything happens there.
