Roses Bar

We were in Roses on Sunday night…it was fantastic and the music brilliant! They also played a tracked which was schlager type in German, female singer and last line contained the words merci cherie…..anyone able to tell me what the song is? All the same do go because its a great night out!

Funny place to have your last drink if you’re out during the week or if you don’t know where to go.
Always have fun going there with friends.

packed but friendly and really open to everybody.
warm place for the winter. great people

A gay bar with PINK, FURRY walls.

If you knew nothing more about Roses Bar, then you'd still probably think it was worth visiting. That's the situation I was in. Indeed, the decor is interesting. However, when I was there it was one of those humid 30C+ summer days in Berlin and standing outside the bar was definitely preferable to being inside...

The place to show in Berlin to tourists.

A favourite pitstop before hitting the clubs. At Roses, you get your fill of flamingo coloured hairy wallpaper, drinks with more alcohol in the ice and mixers, music that have you dancing to 90’s and 80’s music that you would otherwise never be caught with on your ipod.

Specialties: Men in all kinds of clothes. A guy in the bathroom begging to sell you coke, to buy him a drink or at least lend him money for the bus. (serisouly he is there every time).

When to go: before 11… then you will get a seat… after 11.. you will have to stand up…

When to leave: When the guy from the bathroom gets too annoying or you know its time for Berghain.

interior with the look of miss piggys vagina. bartenders who are just as ready, willing, and able to get sloppy drunk as the customers are, music that would kill your ears in any other setting but seems perfect in this one. and an average of a person fainting, falling down, or otherwise hurting themselves one out of every three times ive been here. in other words: i love this place. most bars in berlin are really just boring cafes with the lights turned down. it took a notorious gay bar to give a bar a sense of adventure again. btw, drinks are cheap, and its pretty easy to make friends with the bartenders which usually leads to large amounts of free shots with them.

This bar was recommended to us by some friends who visited earlier this year. Roses is a small bar on Oranienstraße famous for its totally pink interior.

The walls are totally covered in pink fur (although it could do with a bit of a shampoo!). Everything is pink. I can’t really describe it!

The drinks were fairly reasonably priced, and the bar staff friendly. We went about 10 p.m. on a Saturday, and it was only just warming up; perhaps if we had arrived later and stayed longer we might have found a different atmosphere.

Definitely worth a visit, although have other places nearby in mind in case it’s not that busy!
