Wanted Man

The unknown man in the photofit picture is wanted by the police. At about 07:30 on Monday morning April 30 he robbed a man in Landauer Strasse, Wilmersdorf. They had met in Bull earlier and gone to the victim's flat. As soon as they got there the unknown man threatened the victim with a knife and demanded valuables. He then manacled the victim and left. The victim was not seriously injured.

The police have now released this photofit picture. The wanted man is described as about 45 years old, 178 cm (5 foot 10 inches) tall, stocky build with short dark brown hair. He has a very hairy chest and back with a shaved stomach, a three day old beard, wide chiselled face, chubby cheeks, striking eyes, straight mouth, wide nose and is probably southern European. On the day he was wearing dark blue trousers like jogging bottoms, a black shirt with lots of pockets and emblems and black sneakers / trainers. He spoke good German with an accent.

DEATH IN BULL #2

January 2010 we reported a death in Bull Berlin's reckless after hour gay sex bar. And last Tuesday they had another. A source close to the event told us that they were sitting next to this man who appeared to fall asleep on a sofa. Click the headline for the full story. The man snored once and his head dropped. Falling asleep is a common event in Bull, it might even be called a hotel and the sleepers are not usually disturbed except by sex maniacs and the cleaner.

BULL: THE WORLD'S OLDEST GAY BAR?

Could Bull be the world's oldest gay bar? Discodamaged's friend Brendan, writer of cabaret-berlin.com, has told us that it opened about 1920 and was called Kleist Casino. In 1970 Otto Friedrich wrote "There are no windows on the blank wall and the inside is dark and gloomy". No change there then. Christopher Isherwood and WH Auden also spoke about it.

BAD TOILET AWARD GAY BERLIN 2008

Discodamaged Berlin announces a contender for the worst Berlin toilet. Nothing can beat Armstrong, which was closed down after all the urinals blocked and the cubicle flooded. Bull, which may have a cultural relationship with Armstrong, is aspiring to inherit the title. The toilets are at first impression clean. However
1) The basket for used paper towels frequently overflows
2) The locks on the two cubicles are broken.
3) Worst, you have to ask for toilet paper at the bar if you need it. So don't forget to ask the barman before you want a shit. And estimate the number of sheets you need accurately. No chance for extras.

Comment here for other candidates!

Bull - DD review

Bull is a new gay bar on Kleiststrasse next to New Action. On the opening night it was rammed. It looks like a good place. Good size bar, lots of sofas, spacious darkroom equipped with two slings, side by side and even a small dance floor. Since then it has been a bit quiet but it could get better.

On a subsequent (Aug/07) visit at about 7am on a Sunday morning there were 10-20 people there and the dark room was busy, with some good looking lads. It makes a nice change to have a Schöneberg sex bar with comfortable, clean surroundings. 4am-11am at the weekends, especially after New Action closes, is their busiest time.
