Queer-run café and bar on Mehringdamm
Looking for a hangout with a bit of history and a whole lotta character? Melitta Sundström in Kreuzberg is a Berlin institution, named after a local gospel-singing, activist, and trans icon. This cafe-bar isn't your flashy new spot, but that's kinda the point. Step inside for a dose of faded romantic charm – think high ceilings, mismatched furniture, and a vibe that whispers "creative haven" rather than "chilled dance floor." Magazines pile up like forgotten friends, board games are scattered around for impromptu challenges, and the weekend-only upstairs lounge adds a touch of hidden gem mystery. The crowd leans LGBTQ+, with a healthy mix of locals and those in the know. It's not just about drinks (although their cake selection is legendary) – Melitta Sundström regularly throws art exhibitions, cabaret nights, and comedy shows. So grab a drink, mingle with the friendly crew, and soak up the atmosphere – this is Berlin's LGBTQ+ scene with a generous helping of history and heart.
