Underground gay bar
The Hotel Deutsche Eiche (“German Oak”) has been for over years a real center of the gay community in the middle of the gay village, in the heart of Munich. The Eiche outshines chain hotels with its unique mix of services: Munich’s most beautiful rooftop terrace with a view of the Aged City and the Alps, Central Europe’s largest male sauna, a design hotel with 36 new rooms and a regionally very well-known and traditional restaurant.
Nearby parking spaces are available upon prior reservation and the MLC’s (Münchner Löwen Club) Underground Club can also be reached directly in barely more than 20 minutes by subway.
The Deutsche Eiche looks forward to welcoming MLC guests.

Like most Italian cities, the Rome gay scene is petite; particularly since there are not many gay bars in Rome. When I first came here in , there were just the two staple bars on the gay street next to the Colosseum: Coming Out and My Bar.
But in recent years, the gay Rome bars have started to take off in popularity, and they are not all centered around the Colosseum (although close enough to the urban area center).
On top of it, unlike in other European countries, Rome's gay bars often double as trattorias or place to earn an aperitivo, but that is quintessential Italians for you, who are serious about combining alcohol intake with long, leisurely dinners 🤌.

Around the world and across the UK, gay nightlife is dying. Evidence of this demise and the ongoing threat of bar and club closures can be seen everywhere. In late the renowned London club G-A-Y closed its doors, as did many other bars and clubs, victims of an array of economic difficulties.
These include customers no longer having spare income for clubbing, or spending less on nightlife due to the cost of living crisis – not to mention the general economic and social turmoil left in the wake of the COVID pandemic.
All these things have acted to catalyse this destructive process, stripping city nightlife scenes of queer venues. Of course, we know the pandemic has been responsible for decimating all nightlife scenes, which have been suffering ever since the first lockdowns. Yet, queer venues have been hit disproportionately more than their straight counterparts.
This is because they are affected not just by these economic difficulties, but also by more complex economic and social changes that apply specifically to marginalised communities. This includes some within these c
