Boyberry Berlin occupies the former Tom’s Bar address on Motzstraße but follows the brighter, more structured format developed by the Boyberry venues in Barcelona and Madrid. A substantial bar gives the entrance a social function, while cabins, gloryholes, dark areas and a maze extend behind it. The layout makes the venue easier to read than a traditional dark cruise bar.
The concept is men-only and explicitly sexual, but the bar allows visitors to arrive alone, order a drink and assess the crowd before moving further in. Daily opening and regular offers make it more accessible than event-led venues. The crowd can vary widely by hour; early periods may feel sparse and social, while later nights bring greater momentum.
Boyberry fills a practical role rather than defining Berlin. It is easier to approach than strict fetish bars and more focused than a general bar with secondary cruising. Men looking for history may miss the particular roughness of Tom’s, which closed in 2024, but the replacement should be judged as its own current venue.
Use it as a flexible Motzstraße option when event-led venues do not fit.
This is Boyberry, not the former Tom’s Bar; older guides are obsolete.
Check current opening hours, admission and offers on the official Berlin page. An early visit is easier for orientation, while later periods generally provide more activity.
Do not use old Tom’s Bar listings to plan the visit. Boyberry is the current operator and has a different layout, identity and pricing logic.
Boyberry lowers the threshold to a dedicated cruise venue through a clear bar-led entrance, daily operation and organized private spaces. It works for men who want explicit cruising without the preparation required by Lab.oratory or New Action.
The experience depends on crowd timing and is less distinctively Berlin than the city’s major institutions, but its accessibility makes it useful within the Schöneberg circuit.
A readable, bar-led cruise venue for men who prefer access over ritual.
