Tom's Bar (Closed Permanently)
A mostly popular after-hours backroom-boosted bar, Tom's originally opened in April 1982 on a site previously occupied by a diner, is the place that every tourist has heard of, though the space is unrecognisable from its clone-era days of leather manliness inspired by master erotic draughtsman Touko Laaksonen (1920–91), better known as Tom of Finland. Things started to change under new ownership from 1993, resulting in the DJ-led atmosphere we have today. For the record, the original T...

noisy, sticky, smoky....but charming. A lot of nice guys from all the sorts
Monday Fun
Had a blast here on Monday. Two for one drinks bring out the crowds. Good lookng crowd. The darkroom downstairs was very active after been there a couple hours. Nice sized bar. Definitly worth a trip. Not sure how it is on another night.
toms is the best
i visited Berlin for two weeks and stayed in Schoenberg, the gay neighborhood. I made it a point to chech out every bar once and many a couple times. Toms had the best music by far of all that I visited. The crowd had a diverse racial mix and a diverse age range that made it fun and enjoyable. The basement gets hopping with cruise energy after 1 o'clock. If you looking for quality sex it is best to take someone home from toms. If your looking for quantity then toms is a great place. Once you give Toms a try you'll find yourself returning for the friendly atmosphere and great mix of music. Have fun and remember to play safe.
My favorite bar in Berlin
Had a great time here on several nights on my last visit to Berlin. The crowd was mostly friendly, the drinks were cheap enough, and the basement was very frisky. If you arrive and the main level looks empty, make sure you check out the basement! Monday night at Toms was the best bar experience I've had in my most recent two weeks in Europe.
good stay
Stayed here in June for four nights and everything was as expected. Clean, central to gay bars and clubs, close to good food, friendly staff, usual small European old style room with good bathroom and comfortable, felt safe, plenty of brochures available to help with visit to Berlin. Originally booked at Gay Hostel, but thought that I may be too old to be there. Communicated by email with hotel and they changed my reservation from the hostel to the hotel at a discounted rate. It pays to talk nicely! Toured the hostel after hotel check in only to find that I would have been happy to be in the hostel...first impression was a good one! Did my research and knew exactly where to check in and that I needed cash. Too bad the previous reviewer had such a bad experience there. Mine was the total opposite!
