The gay area of WEST Berlin is centred around Nollendorfplatz, but there are still plenty of East Berliners who don't go near it. In the east there are boy bars and clubs around Prenzlauer Berg, Mitte and Kreuzberg e.g
SchwuZ,
Greifbar,
Sharon Stonewall.
As always the
In Your Pocket guides are good on Central and Eastern Europe in general, with some info on the gay scene. There is also a quite good

Have a great trip, Berlin is one of my favourite destinations! ^
