Besenkammer-Bar Formerly: Mocca Bar

(5 Ratings)
A local bar with a touch of gay history

Friendly, typical and tiny bar whose name translates as 'broom closet', and for good reason. Though it doesn't look possible, 30 or 40 can squeeze into the space, with smoking allowed. The bar's history goes back to the middle of the last century. In 1990 Gabriela Rexhausen (1963–2008) took over the gay-friendly bar (then called Mocca) and made it full-throttle gay, with her son Christoph taking over in 2008. The clientele is now mixed, but mostly male, and the music consists of pop oldies and Schlager. Dark, atmospheric and local-feeling. Open 24 hours a day. That's right. 24 hours a day.
