Piccadilly Bar

Gay bar steeped in history

Away from the hustle and bustle of the Reeperbahn is Piccadilly. The small bar is the oldest gay bar on the Kiez.

Those who find their way to this hidden gem will definitely be rewarded. Why the sign in front of Piccadilly Bar shows a whiskey jug becomes clear as soon as you enter. You can marvel at the large collection of whiskey and coffee mugs while having a drink amidst the red interior. The cosy atmosphere invites you to have a chat at the bar.

In the 1960s, the historic bar was the only refuge for many homosexuals to escape the ban on same-sex love. In the meantime, the rustic scene meeting place has existed for over 60 years and is run by a charming couple. Numerous celebrities such as Costa Cordalis or Angelika Milster have already visited the pub in Silbersacktwiete.
