About Flax

Flax on Greifswalder Straße is your one-stop shop for daytime chill and weekend revelry.

What to expect

Flax on Greifswalder Straße is your one-stop shop for daytime chill and weekend revelry. During the week, it's a laid-back café-bar with a "living room" vibe – think comfy sofas, perfect for catching up with mates over coffee or a post-work beer. But don't be fooled by the daytime duds. Come nightfall (especially weekends), Flax sheds its skin and transforms into a full-blown party zone. The music selection leans towards pop anthems, schlager (guilty pleasures, anyone?), and even disco classics. It's all about singing along and throwing shapes under the mirrored disco ball – a not-so-subtle hint that things get pretty lively here. The crowd is pleasantly mixed, with a strong showing from Berlin's gay scene. So, whether you're looking for a casual hangout with a side of coffee cake or a camp night of dancing with your chosen family, Flax has you covered. Plus, its central location near Prenzlauer Berg makes it super accessible for all your gay bar-hopping needs. So, next time you're in Berlin, swing by Flax for a drink (or two) and see which vibe you dig – daytime ease or weekend disco fever. You might just find your new favorite hangout.

We celebrated a birthday there. Despite the place being nicely decorated the owner's attitude was a deal breaker. We paid to play our own music and to have the room yet the owner was very controlling in what we should be playing. He made a very racist comment about a song we played and asked us to change. He also started his own music over someone else's music. He mistakenly made someone paid twice and afterwards asked to keep the money because we had apparently not tipped enough. I would not recommend.

We celebrated a birthday there and the person working there that evening (owner/manager?) made a racist comment about one song our DJ was playing and told him to change. He also pressured guests to leave tips and didn't give the change back to some people.

We were there saturday and it was awesome! We celebrated the 30th bday from a friend and the location was already fully decorated, at 12 they put birthday songs and they let us put our own music and bring food! It was super fun! I would definetly recommend it for anyone wanting to celebrate their birthdays!

We celebrated the birthday of my friend there and we had an absolute blast. Steffen, the owner of the place, is a lovely person who knows how to create a great party atmosphere. He’s been around for 30 years doing this with Flaxx and you can easily guess that he has mastered the game. The place is authentically decorated with some random and funny elements. The karaoke system is great! Just as lights and the fog machine. This for sure wasn’t the last birthday party that we celebrated there!

I visited for a 60th party and it was a fabulous night! Fun karaoke, nice food, friendly staff and great drinks. I enjoyed the layout in particular (it has cool little spaces tucked here and there). Also beer pong! I was rubbish but it was fun, so thanks to the guys I played with as well. If I’m ever back in Berlin, I’ll be very happy to return.
