Friedrichshain
Friedrichshain’s public queer inventory in this census is Himmelreich, a neighbourhood bar on Simon-Dach-Straße since 2003, and Lab.oratory, the men-only fetish club in the Berghain building at Am Wriezener Bahnhof. They are not a walkable strip — treat them as two separate evenings.
