Tresor

Was here in mid January and had a great night. As far as atmosphere and vibe goes, it leaves the Berghain for dead.

Berghain & Panorama Bar

Went mid January and after big gee up about this place found it pretty ordinary. Tressor Club and Kit Kat club were a lot more fun.

Adagio

Adagio is sort of OK but Berlin is losing out completely these days to much cooler cities like Warsaw and Budapest. The Germans are just too straight to understand what REAL COOL is - just like the Americans.

Berghain & Panorama Bar

After two nights queing for more than 1.30 hours by -5° and being kicked out twice with my friends (eventhough we were playing gay style) by the seductive bouncers of Berghain... I have nothing else to sing but the well know french anthem: "CHIE MOI SUR LA GUEULE, SALOPE, MERCI" Love from France... C'est LEEEO

Tresor

VERY NICE CLUB!!! The sound is quite perfect_ maybe a bit overwhelmed with basses_ the creepy rooms and corridors make you feel like you re experiencing something unreal... Door policy was alright with us, on dec.29th and on sylvester, we were a group of 5 guys (19/20yo) dressed casual and we ve been in easily! Definitely the place to go when you been kicked out from Berghain !!

The Oscar Wilde Pub

W. O'driscall indeed! He ripped me off and the clocks ticking away! What goes around comes around.'I'm sure of that. As for the pub, a rip off guys, stay well clear and just use the local German bars. As they say, when in Rome.

Berghain & Panorama Bar

@ Deb absolutely NOT my experience. Berghain hasn't changed. Still real and authentic. I was there 2 weeks ago, the vibe was so unique. Only great people, no arrogance, no posers. Just great connection and generosity in the air. I doubt you got in the club actually to be honest. What you are writing is just to extreme and the opposite of what I felt in Berghain 2 weeks ago. sorry man...I don't believe you !

Adagio

Boa, the greatest club in Berlin. Fantastical atmosphere, attractive people, a lot of beautiful girls, but not too arrogant like you may think. Highly recommended!

Berghain & Panorama Bar

I have been to the Berghain 3 times and i have to say..the vibe in the place has totally changed. When i was there a year ago, i met nothing but lovely, friendly people, with a keen interested in music but last time i was there, for they're 7th birthday, i was really disappointed with the atmosphere. The crowd in the berghain and panorama bar have become posers, totally snobby and up to themselves, the bar staff is rude and they all just seem angry. There were a few tourists but the place is mainly filled with germans. The crowd is just so arrogant. Apart from that, people were all self conscious thinking they were in a catwalk. totally full of themselves. Berghain isn't the same anymore its filled with a bunch of posers, it became "too cool". i went to other clubs in berlin and met great people, who were all there for the music and nice atmosphere. Berghain's music is still the best in Berlin though but the audience is ruining the place.

Pinguin Club

One of the coolest places, and with extremely nice staff, a pleasure to hang out. The german pils beer is always spot on, as are the cocktails and long drinks. The background music always a pleasure to discover. All in all a perfect place to spend an hour or two in good company. Been going back here at every opportunity for the past 25 years

Watergate Club

Watergate is a kind of hype/fancy club. The location is awesome next to Spree river, but the place itself is not that big even if it's 2 floors. The light system on the top floor could be gigantic but strangely they don't use that much the wall of LED they have, and they've put a blurry glass... Weird idea! We went there last week end, some people were rejected by the doorwoman but as long as you don't look too young and not in an electro mood i guess it's ok to get in. The music was great, nevertheless i didn't like the atmosphere that much. Actually german people are going there to "be seen" and to make out. They hardly dance and prefer to go near a girl better than near the DJ. It's a place for peopl that don't like too underground/trashy clubs and prefer fancy areas.

Tresor

We went to tresor last week end for the 8th birthday of Ostfunk. The club is very underground as soon as you take the stairs down. Really great minimal music in both floors, but only the lower as this crazy dark, flashy, hardsounded atmosphere you won't forget. The entrance was 12€ (special night) and beers 3.50€. Very easy to get in, just don't look to properly dressed, the staff is cool!

Berghain & Panorama Bar

I ve been in Berghain & Panorama for the first time many years ago. Just loved it. Sometimes i visit Berlin just to go there. The door policy is unpredictable and strict. The rule is that there are no rules. I think you have more chances if you are not overdressed, jeans , T shirt, a cool leather outfit and sneakers are more than fine. Keep it down when you are qeueing. Be cool but not tacky.

Berghain & Panorama Bar

We went to Berlin for fly Bermuda festival there was 20 of us that attended it and after 4 of my friends out of the group including myself went to the after party club.Then decided to go to panorama bar and split up into 2 groups and watched lots of people get turned away then got to the front and was told to wait 2 mins after he looked us up and down we got straight in and so did my friends.After that it was probley the most industrial clubbing experience of my life.i can understand why they don't want to commercialise it and keep it as it is. There's so much happening in berlin so best thing to do is go there for another event and go try getting in after just to make it extra special like we did and you will not be disappointed in anyway.!!

Berghain & Panorama Bar

Went to Berghain at 8am Sunday morning and followed all the advice you see here - on my own, dressed down, no attitude etc. etc. Got turned away, but have to say the bouncers weren't pricks about it. Here's the thing though - there were about 30 people ahead of me and they ALL got turned away. By the time I made the door, I already knew what was gonna happen! I was in Berlin with about 20 friends, all seasoned clubbers, and we all went there in pairs or alone, all bar three turned away and none of the people turned away saw anyone in front of them get in either. It really does seem like a total lottery. If you're going to Berlin purely for Berghain, you're taking a big risk that could ruin your weekend. Was it a downer? Not really. Berlin is a fantastic city and you'll have a great time with or without Berghain.

Hafen

Great place to just let go of yourself and meet new men

Berghain & Panorama Bar

Sorry guys but...no...Berlin does NOT need any tourist...we´ve already got far too many of them and Berghain door policy is not even good enough, most of my german friends don´t want to go there anymore because of too many tourists, even though we don´t have to queue nor pay. this is the best club in the world, and it would not be so if they let all those groups of drunken tourists come in....

Berghain & Panorama Bar

I was there one month ago while visiting Berlin, I had any problem to get in, i was with my best friend and a guy that we met that same night. I was drunk as hell... It was the wildest night of my entire life. I stayed there untill 17,30pm Sunday. I just thought it were 10 in the morning and surprise..almost 6 in the afternoon. I was schocked! I know I had fun, but certainly I don't remember the most of the day.... is scary!!!! Panorama is great! just take with alcohol, sustances, or mixing them.... :) Recommended at least once in your life!!!

Just divine! Would go there to only see the doorman with short dark sleek hair, he's so archetypical masculine! Love him and all the things going on in berghain;)
