Title A name given to the resource The Cosy Corner Description An account of the resource Described by Happy In Berlin?, a repository for English writer's experiences of 1920s Berlin, as a "shabby gay bar in the working class district of Kreuzberg", the Cosy Corner was a frequent meeting place for downtrodden revolutionaries. However, it was also frequented by more privileged individuals, looking for cheap escapism by way of the underpaid male prostitutes working there. These figures included writers W. H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood - the latter of whom would go on to fictionalize the Cosy Corner as the 'Alexander Casino' in his magnum opus, Goodbye to Berlin. Isherwood would later retract his endorsement of this particular brand of hedonism, referring to his frequent use of the Cosy Corner's prostitutes - and his benefiting from impoverished Berlin queers as a whole - as a 'colonial situation'.

Title A name given to the resource Karls-Lounge Description An account of the resource A somewhat exclusive establishment that stands out for a multitude of reasons, Karls-Lounge was known for the demographic it pandered to: teenage "line-boys", often coming in to unwind while still in nautical uniform. In league with this, the waiters were aging men and women often dressed in similar uniform, or as ship captains. The second factor that rendered Karls-Lounge so unique was its menu: despite being lumped in with gay bars, Karls-Lounge did not serve alcohol, given the amount of underage clientele it brought in. However, popular party drugs of the era such as cocaine and morphine were completely unprohibited, often used openly at the tables.
