Tourist-friendly café, bar and gay library
Named after Berlin gospel/pop/torch-singing transvestite/activist Melitta Sundström (Thomas Gerards, 1964–93) and formerly a haven for cross-dressers, this high-ceilinged casual spot is now something of a dinosaur, its displayed magazines, newspapers, old books and board games a reminder of hippy-inspired cafés of yesteryear. There's even an art exhibition space (of limiteds appeal) and a bookstall, but the venue is perhaps best known as a throughway to the club SchwuZ [see entry], located out back. U-Bahn Mehringdamm.
