Highlights

Berghain become one of the world's most famous clubs, and is sometimes called the "world capital of Techno."
Best Clubbing Times: Sunday morning and Sunday night.
Door Policy: Bouncers are strict; the chances you won’t get in are considerable. Here are some hints for you: Do not go in big groups, do not wear your best clothes, do not laugh out loud or have too much fun in the queue – they simply don’t like that. Be as discrete as you can and make sure you know what you are getting into. Oh, and don’t dare to take your phone out of your pocket.

If you’ve ever dreamed about clubbing in a circus, you’ll fall in love with this club. It’s name already describes the kind of atmosphere you’ll find: WILD. Besides a big outside area, a kitsch decoration and many dance floors, their main attraction is a huge and real labyrinth.
Drinking is relatively cheap since you can trade your empty bottles and glasses for money to buy more drinks and enjoy their psychedelic vibe.
Best Clubbing Times: Friday & Saturday night.
Door Policy: In comparison to the clubs that were mentioned before, it’s considerably easy to get into Wilde Renate. Just be sure to follow the basic door policy rules: don’t get wasted before getting there, don’t go in big groups and, when possible, answer their questions in German.

Tresor is the biggest and most respected Techno club in Berlin. It's history began basically together with the creation of the city’s clubbing scene, right after Germany was unified.
Best Clubbing Times: Friday and Saturday night.

Door Policy: Basically the same rules like Berghain.

Anthropological travel is the best expression to describe what you’ll experience at KitKat. Before you start asking yourself the kind of trouble you’re getting into, let’s make clear that this is a sex club. Don’t be afraid, it’s not as hardcore as it seems.
After a night of unexpected adventures, you’ll notice how the club delivers an unusual decadent slice of hedonism in a city known for its forbidden passions and will never forget how much fun you had in one of the weirdest clubs you’ll ever visit.
Best Clubbing Times: Friday & Saturday night.
Door Policy: Wear your best underwear and be prepared to leave your clothes in the cloak room. Different to other clubs, big groups and foreigners are not a problem, but they won’t let you in if you’re not prepared to show your body and get into the sexual atmosphere of the club.

The Suicide Club (fka Suicide Circus) is one of the most traditional and established techno clubs in Berlin, with a large dance floor in the centre, an open-air floor, cutting-edge electronic music and a cosy outdoor terrace/beer garden.
The club has everything you need for a perfect techno night: reduced exterior, dark corners, fog machine, industrial-style dance floor, mystical lighting and a fat sound system.
The name of the club "Suicide" refers to the band "Suicide", which paved the way for later minimal techno back in the 70s with synthesizers and drum computers.

Sisyphos is a place like no other. It’s a festival, it’s a club, it’s a beach, it’s a bar, it’s Alice’s Wonderland. Here you will find diverse ways of having fun.
You might ask yourself if it’s a good idea going there, since it’s located a bit far out of the way, but don’t worry: you can get a shuttle from Ostkreuz to get there. And here goes a party rat tip: make sure to save some money for your way back. After partying for so many hours, the only thing you’ll want is a cab that will drop you right in front of the place where you're staying.
Best Clubbing Times: All weekend.
Door Policy: The bouncers here are not as bad as in other clubs, but be patient: you’re going to stand in line for quite a while. Eventually they’ll ask you if you’ve been there before and big groups are as always not welcome.

Located in the center of Berlin, we offer eventful music scenes and host private parties with an ecstatic view of the city and famous landmark, the TV Tower. Lounging and partying on our rooftop or club floor will be an experience you’ll never forget. With crowds coming in from all over the world, we retain a unique experience to new and returning guests with new Dj’s and reccuring weekly events.

The Soda at the Kulturbrauerei is not only one of Berlin's biggest clubs, it makes culture danceable!
Every weekend, the Kulturbrauerei attracts the party crowd to Prenzlauer Berg's Soda. As one of the biggest clubs in Berlin, the Soda is synonymous for a wide musical variety on a number of dancefloors.
Especially fans of Hip Hop and R'n'B can show their moves on several dancefloors. The crowd is a happy mix and the party is on on multiple floors at the same time. Nearly every floor has a podium where you can show your slickest moves. Should your feet give in after a while, the Soda offers ample space for resting to catch a breath.
Ladies get in for free on Fridays and Saturdays until 1:00 am

This place is Heaven for an old-school hip-hop and reggae fan. It's Huge! I went on a Wednesday and the other 3 floors weren't open but the 2 large rooms on the ground floor were enough - friendly bartenders and you actually get 1 euro off your drinks if you return the pin they give you upon returning your used glass. How nice! They also start to mix the old school w/ some trance dub later in the night in the hiphop room, which was very cool. That mixed w/ the 'smoke' in the air (hey, it's a reggae club), makes for a very transcendent experience. Highly recommended!!

The "Club der Visionäre" is not a classic beach bar. However still counts as one of Berlin’s hottest spots in summer. The sand is missing, but this party location not only lies directly at but also on the water. On the Treptow side of the "Flutgraben" (flood ditch) sun worshipers and party goers can relax on the floating wooden planks during the day. At night they can dance to electro and minimal music until the early morning hours.

If you want to get into Deck5, you have to fight your way through the shopping crowds in the Schönhauser Allee Arcaden to the elevator. It's worth it, because this bar on the roof of the Arcaden in Prenzlauer Berg offers a magnificent view over the city from the Gethsemane church to the TV tower.

Arrived on the parking deck one is not only overwhelmed by the panoramic view, but also by the holiday feeling of the location. On lounge furniture, sun loungers and benches, shopping and urban stress can take a break and you can enjoy a delicious cocktail surrounded by sugar sand.

On the 10th floor of the boutique Bikini Berlin hotel is a large rooftop terrace bar where you can enjoy panoramic views of the city and the Berlin Zoo down below. Right next door is a concept shopping mall, Bikini Berlin, which offers all things fashion and beauty. The Monkey Bar is therefore the perfect place to recharge and enjoy an outdoor post-shopping drink. The bar staff are known for creating drinks with a modern twist, and often base their cocktail recipes on inspiring places around the world. Try the Pearl Island Fizz with coconut gin or the Mad Monkey Mai Tai – a delicious blend of three plantation rums, Curaçao and lime.

The PURO Sky Lounge is one of the hippest and most popular clubs in the capital. High above the rooftops of the City West you can enjoy a spectacular 360 degree view of the skyline of Berlin through the fully glazed outer walls.

The club itself consists of a total of four areas, the south wing bar and lounge, a second lounge with a bar in the middle and the club in the north wing. In addition there is the large roof terrace. Above all, the bar of the PURO Sky Lounge organizes an After Work Dance every Thursday evening. Whether at the spacious counter with the comfortable bar stools or on the sofa next to the fireplace, guests like to sit here a little longer.

A door man leads the guests to the cloak room of the Solar. The ride in the glass lift takes you then to the 17th floor of the tower building. Due to the floor-to-ceiling windows and the dark furniture, the Solar Sky-lounge looks very luxurious.

You can enjoy your drink relaxing on sofas and arm chairs marvelling at Berlin's sights from up above. The perfect place to get to know your date better in a nice ambiance. DJs provide a club atmosphere with their background music.

A special tip for night owls: you should always stay at the solar until day dawns over Germany's capital.

Watergate is a split-level, two-room club overlooking the River Spree in Berlin's Kreuzberg neighbourhood. Located on the river's edge with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, it offers a panoramic view of the Spree with curtains that can let the daylight in as the club night winds down. Known for its LED lighting panel that spans the entire length of the top floor of the club, Watergate mostly plays host to house and techno parties. In 2008, it started a record label: Watergate Records.

Matrix is a club in Berlin which opened in 1996. Located at Warschauer Platz 18 in ten basement vaults of the Warschauer Straße railway station, the discothèque houses up to nine bars and five dance floors. The venue has an overall size of 2,100 square meters, and is one of the biggest clubs in Berlin. The club has 4 dancefloors & one outdoor area.

Love this for being super Berlin summer spot - you'll find kids jumping on trampoline, ice cream, a Dj, drugs, a street art and families - ALL IN ONE PLACE.

It has been around for the last 15 years: The Yaam, short for the Young and African Arts Market. And ever since the Yaam has been an important part of Berlin's leisure culture. Whether for a basketball tournament, Reggae concert, African dinner, or simply to meet people, the Yaam has been considered as the multicultural meeting point for anyone in any life situation. In the summer, it is the best location to chill-out.

Directly on the Spree and next to the Central Train Station and the government district , Capital Beach is a great place to enjoy the Berlin lifestyle in summer with cocktails and barbecue.

One of the oldest and most well-known beer gardens of Berlin is the beer garden of Café am Neuen See - very close to the Zoological Garden.
The beer garden of Café am Neuen See is a bit hidden away under the high trees of Tiergarten, directly by the water.
Tourists sit alongside with locals on long benches, while enjoying a nice beer and a pretzel, a crispy pizza or even a leisurely breakfast
