Picadilly Bar

Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany

(Listing updated 12 months ago.)

Escape the chaos of the Reeperbahn and find yourself in Piccadilly, the oldest gay bar in the Kiez.

If you’re looking for a hidden gem, you’ll be rewarded. The sign in front of Piccadilly Bar shows a whiskey jug, and that’s just the beginning. Inside, you’ll find a massive collection of whiskey and coffee mugs, all set against a red interior. It’s a cozy atmosphere that invites you to strike up a conversation at the bar.

Back in the 1960s, Piccadilly Bar was a lifeline for many homosexuals who were trying to escape the ban on same-sex love. But even today, this rustic-scene meeting place has been around for over 60 years and is run by a lovely couple.
