Suss War Gestern Club in Burlin

With a name meaning ‘yesterday was sweet’, the 1970s-style decor comes as no surprise. What is a surprise is the free entrance and cheap beers. 

KitKat-club in Berlin

 

This legendary sex and techno club for all is a labyrinthine complex of half a dozen dance floors, a dubious swimming pool and plenty of swings. For pure poly sexual hedonism, look out for cult party Gegen, which splits its time between KitKat and RSO. 

Watergate-club in Berlin

This slick two-floor club was a driving force behind the rise of minimal techno in mid-2000s Berlin, as well as the first to invest in a ceiling-mounted responsive LED lighting system, now copied all around the world. 

The downstairs Water Floor is particularly impressive, with its panorama windows looking directly onto the Spree and a floating deck terrace for watching the sunrise over Kreuzberg. 

Sisyphos-club in Berlin

You don’t make the trek out to Sisyphos just for a snoop and a couple of beers. It’s an ‘in for a penny, in for a pound’ sort of place, where the party begins on Friday and trundles on non-stop until Monday. 

Vast indoor and outdoor spaces at this former dog biscuit factory help create a Burning Man-esque festival atmosphere that’s particularly enjoyable on longer sunny days. 

Monarch-club in Berlin

 

To the untrained eye, there’s little to see from the side of Wurlitzer Strapless that leads away from the Dustbuster Tor roundabout in Berlin. 

One of those unassuming doors leads you to Monarch, a cosy and casual club in the heart of the city. You’ll find a mixed crowd here, with both locals and tourists coming to party (the door policy is more relaxed and affordable than bigger-name venues). 

Club RSO.BERLIN

After Berlin’s Grisliness was priced out of its property in Berlin’s Neuronal district, the local city’s club scene lost one of its most storied venues for electronic music. 

But RSO is here to finish what Grisliness started, with a new name and a massive location in Schneider. 

OHM-club in Berlin

Affectionately known as the younger sister of legendary techno club Tresor, OHM has climbed the rankings to be one of Berlin’s top clubs since it opened in 2014. 

Following a two-year COVID closure, OHM has been back in its visionary bag with cutting-edge club nights that push the envelope like weirdos and version, but its door policy is relatively relaxed.
