Berghain & Panorama Bar

"I love this place, its proper debauched with an amazing sound system, beats and crowd. Well worth the hour queue."

"About as kinky and sexy as a night in a public toilet. Rancid old fatties sitting around in the nude trying but failing to get it up and self-conscious wannabe "outrageous" boys trying too hard - pretty hilarious but I guess they thought they looked good. The music is ok but the djs can't mix -but the venue is ok (if a bit grubby); drinks not too expensive but not well made. Not sophisticated but fine if it's your thing."

"1500 people fit in the club, 1500 fantastic children! Pure fun, unique experience, out of this world! Berghain rules, Berlin is blessed to be the home of such a night club!"

"The most progressive and probably simply the best club in the world. If you don't like people fucking each other all over the club. Don't go to the Berghain. If you're the type that starts yawning at 4:00. Forget it. If you rather keep it to an orange juice, go elsewhere. Want the most fucking amazing night, morning and noon of your life? Berghain is the place to be. I love Berghain. "

"I went here 2 weeks ago. If you want to be sure of getting in 1-don't appear to be in a group. 2-don't speak english going in, infact don't speak and lastly-don't smile or laugh. This all sounds far fetched but believe it worth it!! ;-) have fun."

"Woah , best club Europe by far, only Berlin could throw up something like this. Will keep it short - my mate took me here to experience a different ay culture to the pretty weedy one in the UK and for some serious clubbing; found it totally relaxed, about 60/40 gay/really cool straight people (lol) really chilled smiley dancers, superb music and design . . . what more can you say ?! Oh yeah, best tip by far is dont bother before 6am on sunday, no queues or dodgy bouncers and is when the party really gets started. A magic place indeed. "

Watergate Club

"Watergate is amazing! From the outside it looks like nothing but once inside it will blow you mind! Very good sound on the main floor the lights are unreal!!! Like all clubs be sure to break up into groups...we saw 5 berlines (guys) turned away and as we were not german started to worry!! so keep this im mind - Split up!! Amazing night ahead once your in!"

"OK Mirko, I hear you. I was not hoping to hear'just minimal' techno. What we hear sat night was poor especially at the end of the night(for me 11-2pm sun)and the system wasn't clear either. Otherwise, as I said, I had a great time and still cannot get the experience out of my head. I will be back again. "

"Dear Franky, who told you Berghain was standing for minimal techno ? That's a myth really! Berghain's music genre was always techno pure actually, you might hear minimal there between 12 h and 2 am...that's it, as a warm up! Actually even though Berlin practically invented minimal you hardly hear that genre in twon anymore, simply because people are dead bored with it! It's like the love parade...Berlin did it first, now the all world is having fun with it, but here we're through! That's the beauty and the talent of our city, ALWAYS AHEAD OF TIME!! :-)"

"Finally made it to Berghain sat night 15th. Its been a long time coming, since last september to be precise when we didn't get in(no such problems this time)Having read so much about this place, anticipated this night for so long and love techno(including minimal) so much I was a little disappointed. I would have danced straight through till my flight departed had the music been up to scratch. My friends and I never got the purist mimimal techno we expected nor any form of quality techno. While I am at it, the system in the main room wasn't up to scratch either. Deetron wasn't even able to mix. I thought the techno and the system was guaranteed(not that night anyway). Having said that, the club itself was out of this world, it really leaves an impression on you. The people, likewise, I cannot get some of them out of my head(maria, the tranny in the red tartan mini) Generally the experience was amazing and I have to say it again the people made my night special. The next time I go to see a particular DJ to be on the safe side. If you are up for it I recommend heading out there for the night, no accomodation necessary."

"Have to say it worries me seeing things like this. Some European clubs I've been to have been attrocious on the door, knocking people back for being foreign or being too close to the 21 border whilst letting in 15 year old girls with skirts so short that your eyes water a little. When I first went to Berlin I was refreshed at the attitude of the place as it seemed to have a real living clubbing culture with less of the nonsense you get in London or other major cities. Have I been barking up the wrong tree or are the stories here just isolated cases? I have a decent experience of clubs and know the keep your head down / mouth shut routine pretty well off pat. I'm a real fan of Dial Records, the night that's on the 28th March, and would love to see some of these guys again on their home turf. It's just gonna be me and a mate and we're both pretty down to earth. Basically, I want to know if people think its worth the potential hassle involved or should we just push off to Watergate instead?"

Pinguin Club
reviewed by Miss Angry of Mayfair
from United Kingdom
on Feb.25.2008

"The Pinguin Club. Dear Lord. Where do I begin? I read a review whereby someone called it "one of the best bars in Berlin". I sit here deeply concerned for the reviewer in question. Firstly, it is not a club and barely constitutes as a bar.It is a room, a very small room. It promises "delights from the 1950's". The 1950's is probably the last time it was cleaned and that is the only connection there. There is a disco ball, albeit hanging from a rusty nail behind the bar but thats is it. Pleasant bar tender but really the descriptions of this bar bring new meaning to the phrase "misleading". Dreadful."
