Since 1971, KLO (German for “the loo”) has been a one‑of‑a‑kind Erlebniskneipe on Kurfürstendamm—Europe’s first toilet-themed bar, blending kitsch, chaos and humor into a memorable night out. Situated at Leibnizstraße 57 in Charlottenburg (Zip 10629), this pub is more attraction than bar—you step into a sensory assault of skeletons, clowns, dolls, rotating or rising floors, tilting stools, and ceilings that drop unexpectedly. Patrons might receive a surprise spray of water at the entrance, followed by pranks throughout—tables that move, objects falling overhead, and playful staff who joke loudly. Seating ranges from real toilet seats, coffins, or normal benches. Beer comes served in mini “urinal” test‑tubes and shots in specimen bottles. Hearty snacks like XL currywurst arrive in enamel kidney dishes—sometimes to sound effects or sudden flashing lights. Reviewers describe it as a place to visit once for “laughs and pranks” rather than refined cocktails. Drinks are average in quality—typically around €10 per mixed drink—served in an intentionally absurd environment. Staff will heckle guests, and there's a “drinks roulette” with one fiery shot among others. Despite its gimmick, KLO has built a cult following among Berliners and tourists alike, drawing praise for its originality and enduring irreverence.
