What makes Melitta Sundström special

For a long time Melitta Sundström was the café in the front building of SchwuZ, when the club was still on Mehringdamm. The bar is named after the Berlin drag artist and singer Melitta Sundström. After SchwuZ moved to Neukölln, Melitta stayed on Mehringdamm and is now an independent queer bar.

The crowd is queer mixed: gay men, lesbians, trans and non-binary guests come together here, most between 25 and 45. The atmosphere is relaxed, and you can get chatting without it looking like a pick-up.

It is open daily from 5 pm, until 4 am at weekends. Rauschgold is right next door and Barbie Bar a few houses further on, so Mehringdamm is good for a little bar tour.
