    I was there a couple of times, nice club. But the bouncer in the line literally rejected me because I was "the guy that speak Spanish". I can understand if you don't know the DJ, or you don't fit with the dress code, but because of a language? Disgusting.

    I had a good time. Wonderful location, decent selection of spirits and a mellow crowd. Cash only, 25€ entry. Avoid coat check if you can as line can be up to a 40 min. wait time for both drop off and pick up. Smoking available on the outside/water deck. There are two interior levels and an outside landing to this club. Staff are as expected for a club so… adjust your expectations to meet the scene not the other way around.

    Mit Silvester Tickets im Voraus gekauft,nach 2 Stunde in der Schlange gestanden und in der kälte gewartet..durften wir nicht rein weil die blonde Frau keinen Bock auf uns hatte. Wir sind 1500km gereist für diese Club/Party . Einfach zum kotzen die Art und Weise von diese Club. Überhaupt nicht zum empfehlen. 1mal und nie wieder!

    After a long queue I was told just “too many men inside” I was there to touch the real club culture scene but I understood that for them is not more than business. I was trying to ask more info about and they rejected me saying “no more questions, go”. Music is not only for women or men, is for everyone.

    During my recent trip to Berlin, I decided to immerse myself in the vibrant nightlife of the city and experience the atmosphere of its famous clubs. However, what I discovered was a disappointing and even xenophobic treatment reserved for tourists like myself. As an experienced traveler who has visited many places in Europe, I can confidently say that this was the first time I was denied entry to every club I attempted to visit. My frustration grew each time I was turned away without a precise reason, although I realized that the general explanations often revolved around the venue being "full," "dress code" requirements, or "try again later." What struck me the most was the fact that groups of only men or individuals in casual attire were easily granted entry, while we, a group of tourists, were consistently rejected. Despite attempting to adhere to the rules and respect the club's etiquette, it seemed that our tourist status alone was sufficient grounds for exclusion. Over time, we began to realize that Berlin's clubs simply do not favor tourists, a sentiment that was reinforced by the accounts of foreign workers we encountered in the city. I was shocked to discover that our enthusiasm to experience the local nightlife and immerse ourselves in Berlin's culture was met with such cold rejection. I cannot help but think that this is a form of xenophobia that affects those who, like us, seek to have an authentic experience in the heart of Berlin. It is frustrating that a city, which enjoys an international reputation as a cultural and cosmopolitan center, would display such an unwelcoming face towards tourists. In conclusion, my stay in Berlin was overshadowed by this disappointing experience in the clubs. I hope the city takes serious steps to eliminate these discriminatory barriers and promote an inclusive environment for all visitors. While I appreciate Berlin's cultural and historical richness, I cannot ignore the negative aspect I encountered during my stay.

    Nice and easy place if you are looking for something less underground. Cool outdoor area on a pontoon to recharge with the Oberbaumbrücke and the Molecule men in the background. A bit more touristy with easier door policy.

    Rejected for no reason whatsoever; like a lot of Berlin clubs, seems to have an anti-English policy. I’m a 20 year old woman and came here with one male friend and apparently that wasn’t the correct protocol. Don’t waste time here.

    Great place with a fantastic view of the river. I would highly recommend this if you can get in. From reading the other reviews, I think me and my 2 other boy mates got very lucky getting in because it seems like boy groups of 3 typically don't get in. It is cash only when inside which is a bit annoying, however it seems like most places in Berlin are anyways... If going as a group of boys, I would recommend going earlier rather than later.

    A bit overcrowded and very hot inside ( like anywhere in Berlin). This year it is their 20th anniversary so to celebrate it, they are inviting really great DJs, some are playing live which is sooooo amazing! Reasonable prices. Only cash. No dresscode. Many tourists. Staff is pretty friendly. But barmen are definitely overwhelmed and tired. The view is so beautiful, especially in summer.

    There is nothing wrong with this club, but it’s not very big and the overall feel of it wasn’t what you imagine when thinking of clubs in Berlin. It’s easier to get into and doesn’t seem to have much of a dress code, which was cool but also felt like I was partying in Dallas and not Berlin.

  • 1/5 Wolfgang K. 1 year ago on Google
    I dont go there anymore. The several times i was there it was to crowded that you cant move/dance, you need 10-20min for going to the restrooms, 5-10 to get a drink from the bar. Seems like people getting used to it but that isnt my understanding of a good party, its just annoying. And i dont speak about the made up queue outside. Who waits 1+h in front of a club to get in?

    I paid a 50 Euro bill at the entrance and received a FAKE 20 EURO BILL. The club does not pick up its phone and will not return my mail. This has never happened to me in the past, and I am honestly so disappointed.

    Wir waren hier an einem Freitag feiern und hatten eine super Zeit im Watergate! Das Ambiente mit Blick auf die Spree ist einzigartig, die Türsteher und das gesamte Clubpersonal absolut freundlich und die Musik hat komplett unseren Geschmack getroffen! Der Eintrittspreis von 22€ an dem Abend war zwar nicht günstig, aber definitiv den Abend wert. Wir kommen wieder!

    Although being a group of 4 normally dressed and decent people, we were just rejected instantly at the entrance without mentioning any decent reason. The door"lady" instantly cancelled our tickets and we had to leave like we were instant trash. Luckily another awesome club had no issues allowing 4 tourists in their club 15mins later, avoid this club as this seems to happen often.

    This is the first techno club I visited in Berlin a few years ago. It's a club with 2 floors and a terrace overlooking the Spree. Here you can see the most beautiful sunrise in Berlin. The acts and DJs here are amazing. You will meet here a rather upscale society - so the watergate is the techno club of the high society.

    (Translated by Google) I like to go to the Watergate. At the weekend the store is usually bursting at the seams, as the shed is the Mecca for drunk "EasyJet tourists". At selected events, however, it can also happen that you catch an evening when the club is not so full. Definitely the best Berlin has to offer with Berghain (in terms of line-ups). Prices are quite high for Berlin, but alternately friendly door staff (feel addressed to Fritsche). Even if the Watergate is now being branded by local patriots as a club for tourists and newcomers, I advise you to give the shop a chance. positive -Breaker line ups -Good program during the week -Friendly staff (really - especially the girls in the cloakroom) -Beautiful ambience with a great view (not a typical "Berlin shack") -no high-rise DJ booth on the water floor (you are on eye level with the DJ, which creates an intimate atmosphere) negative -On the weekend there are usually a lot of drunk tourists who like to pull out the camera or step on your new balance. However, they usually leave the shop at 3 a.m. or lie unconscious on a bench for the rest of the evening. - Sometimes long waiting times in front of the toilets (I've already seen desperate English women who have been shoved into the piss channel - but who cares). -Prices for Berlin conditions quite high. -The club doesn't have really quiet corners where you can retreat. -Mood sometimes a bit slack. I was very sad when I got wind of the fact that Markus Schröder's "Yes" series of events will no longer take place at Watergate. Rarely seen such a great audience. greetings Souq Madiq (Watergate Ultras) (Original) Ich gehe gerne ins Watergate. Am Wochenende platzt der Laden meist aus allen Nähten, da der Schuppen das Mekka für besoffene "EasyJet-Touristen" darstellt. Bei ausgewählten Veranstaltungen kann es aber auch mal passieren, dass man einen Abend erwischt, an dem der Club nicht so voll ist. Mit dem Berghain definitiv das Beste was Berlin zu bieten hat (bezogen auf Line-ups). Preise sind recht gehoben für Berlin, dafür aber abwechslungsweise mal freundliches Türpersonal (fühl Dich angesprochen Fritsche) . Auch wenn das Watergate von Lokalpatrioten mittlerweile als Club für Touristen und Zugezogene abgestempelt wird, rate ich dazu dem Laden mal eine Chance zu geben. Positiv -Brecher Line-Ups -Unter der Woche gutes Programm -Freundliches Personal (wirklich - besonders die Mädels an der Garderobe) -Schönes Ambiente mit geilem Ausblick (keine typische "Berliner Bretterbude") -keine stark erhöhte DJ-Booth auf dem Waterfloor (man ist auf Augenhöhe mit dem DJ, was eine intime Atmosphäre erzeugt) Negativ -Am Wochenende sind meistens viele besoffene Touristen am Start, die gerne mal die Kamera zücken oder Dir auf Deine neuen New Balance treten. Diese verlassen den Laden aber in Regel um 3 Uhr wieder oder liegen für den Rest den Abends bewusstlos auf einer Sitzbank. -Teilweise lange Wartezeiten vor den Toiletten (habe schon verzweifelte Engländerinnen gesehen, die schmalhart in die Pissrinne geschifft haben - aber wen juckt das schon). -Preise für Berliner Verhältnisse recht gehoben. -Der Club hat nicht wirklich ruhige Ecken, in denen man sich mal zurückziehen kann. -Stimmung manchmal etwas lasch. Ich war sehr traurig, als ich davon Wind bekommen habe, dass die Veranstaltungsreihe "Yes" von Markus Schröder nicht mehr im Watergate stattfinden wird. Selten so ein geiles Publikum erlebt.

  • 5/5 Sebastian P. 5 years ago on Google
    This club shines with its location and the vibe its getting from it. Its located directly at the river near the Oberbaum Bridge and even has a floating outdoor deck in the summer. Seeing the sun rise in the morning after a night of clubbing is one of the most beautiful things ever. And everything around also meets great standards. The soundsystem is top notch (db audio), the lighting is fantastic and the staff is friendly. If your 21+ and you know who is playing you shouldnt have a hard time entering unlike other places in berlin. Also the line-ups are great so its worth to see who is on the decks. Prices are a bit hight but considering what you are getting I am okay with that. Definitly recommend clubbing here - but stay till the sunrise, otherwise you will miss the best part.

    My husband and I are huge fans of the Watergate label. We gave money when they asked for to support their artists during the Covid crisis. We have several vinyles of Watergate productions. We came from Paris to see Robag Wruhme, but we couldn't even say "Halo" that the bouncer ask us to leave. It was really rude. Plus, all the 20-22 years old in front of us were accepted. Is it now a club excluding +30yo? I still love the artists but so disapointed by the club.

    Highly recommend other clubs - this bouncer would not let in anyone who didn’t speak German. The DJ’s were not great and the drinks were very expensive. I highly recommend visiting other clubs if you do not speak fluent German. Otherwise Watergate Is very expensive and the atmosphere is not worth it. The line outside is more fun than the club.

    Not accepted as we were (a divided group of) guys, we knew the line-up and dressed properly, as we already got informed prior. Would not recommend to stand in the line for over one hour

    No problem entering, went to see Enrico Sangiuliano and 2 of us were welcomed in by a lovely lady on the door. We arrived on time and we’re some of the first to enter Once inside we headed downstairs to a great sound system and decent visuals. There is an outside platform that sits on the river which is wicked for some well needed fresh air and great views when the sun comes up over the river. The lighting and visuals upstairs was one of the best I’ve seen.

    Top notch sound, very intimate club. Usually won’t let you in unless you have an equal guy:girl ratio (which is kinda lame) so think of who you’re in the queue with

  • 3/5 Noa K. 1 year ago on Google
    Went on a Thursday eve to find out the top level is closed. The artist at the bar level were ok, too mainstream. Crowd was full of British peeps. The worst part was that for some unknown reason the artist decided to play vuvuzela horrific sound every one in a while like in the worst EDMs parties I’ve ever been to. I’d recommend checking a day with local Berliner people are going and not just random day. The outside terrace by the river is amazing!

    Despite having tickets and travelled over from London to see Kevin De Vries we were denied entry on the door because "there were too many men inside already". Don't sell tickets to an event if you're just going to turn away people that bought them. Disappoint part of what was otherwise a fantastic weekend in Berlin. If you're a tourist I'd avoid like the plague.

    As a tourist we purchased 3 tickets and tried entering the club, but turns out the lady at the entrance is extremely racist and only lets you in when you have equal proportion of women in the group. She was extremely rude and rejected us like as if we are worms. Plz do not go there if you are coming from outside.

  • 4/5 Ma l. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very good selection of the bouncers, 99% of the numerous negative comments regarding the bouncers are based on the fact that the employees take their job seriously. Otherwise, due to the popularity of the club, even more farmers would get lost in the club. I have been going to selected clubs around the world for 17 years and have never thought about drink prices or admission ... Much more important: LED floor above: fat system Water floor below convinces with flair and vibe, sound system is good but not comparable to the other floor. International booking, renovated and tidy club that is not a shack. Depending on the program, Berliners sometimes have the chance to meet guests over 30 here. (Original) Sehr gute Selektion der Türsteher, die zahlreichen negativen Kommentare bezüglich der Türsteher beruhen zu 99% darauf, dass die Mitarbeiter ihren Job ernst nehmen. Aufgrund der Popularität des Clubs würden sich sonst noch mehr Bauern in den Club verirren. Ich geh seit 17 Jahren in ausgewählte Clubs weltweit und hab mir bisher noch nie Gedanken über Geträbkepreise oder den Eintritt gemacht.... Viel wichtiger: LED-Floor oben: fette Anlage Water-Floor unten überzeugt eher durch Flair und vibe, Soundsystem ist gut aber nicht vergleichbar mit dem anderen Floor. Internationales Booking, renovierter und aufgeräumter Club, der keine Bretter-Bude ist. Je nach Programm hat man als Berliner hier auch mal die Chance Gäste über 30 zu treffen.

    Bad place beware!, first off They are rated as one of the known “tourist traps”, and even if you’re a tourist and try to get in they give you poor reasons why you can’t get in like it cost 17 euro entrance ( like that’s a fortune) or it’s a special night and there are so many fans that they hope you understand and show you the way out( and here I thought techno didn’t discriminate) I don’t need to know the artist to Enjoy the music, so be smart and put your money elsewhere

    Great venue, however when it’s full, it can become a problem with trying to get your way to the toilet. It’d have been even better if the outside terrace would be slightly bigger, also it looked like there’s a private top terrace which no one can enter unless you’re vip.

    It was ok. There was no line at the entrance. And they only take cash, no card. So that was not very convenient. Though, the ATM was not far away. There are two floors. Downstairs is a dance floor and upstairs is a big smoking area. Downstairs, when people were dancing, it was quite hot and smelly like sweat ;( and upstairs smelled like smoke and the people were giving me unfriendly vibes.

    Great sound system and good lineups, but unfortunately: not convenient lighting, no selection policy at the door so the crowd is very random; little of club goers, and the majority are tourists, teenagers, drunk hetro cis men and women.

    One of the worst clubs Iv ever been to. It was nothing like you would expect from Berlin, this was very commercial, huge bar and tiny dance floor. Felt like I was in a clip joint about to be scammed with all the drug dealers chilling at the bathrooms and aggressive bouncers. When I went to collect my coat they told me they had lost my coat, so that was how my night ended. Rather go somewhere else with a more friendly atmosphere and good music (like Tresor). Highly recommend the kebab place outside the entrance!

    Great night club, was looking for a Berlin Techno experience and this absolutely delivered. Hard to get in the door like all of them unless you got the profiles they’re looking for (I’m a large foreign older white male and had no ladies in tow so as hard as it gets). But I got in, fee was minimal like 20 euro. Was not “packed” on the Friday I went, but still busy enough and filled in throughout the night. Upstairs DJ ripped an absolutely killer set and had all of us bobbing around like zombies for 7 hours straight. Highly recommend 😎

  • 4/5 Suhas T. 4 years ago on Google
    Really great place to party but please check the artist before visiting! Sometimes they have really bad music which is a night ender! Perfect club to go in summer and you'd end up spending half of the night on the deck! The door policy is not that strict but definitely advise to buy a ticket before hand if you have the chance! The deck is the best part of the club and you can see the sunrise from there which is amazing

    It is well located and the bouncers are friendly, but that is about all. The music was really boring and the service was far from acceptable. The cigarette machine took my 10 euros without ever giving me anything. When I ask they said it wasn’t their problem. Would not suggest it to anyone. Their is a lot of better places in Berlin.

    Went on Saturday the 13th of oct we arrived around 12 and the cue wasn't long backing up it moved down quickly though. The bouncers checked our details and covid vaccination status and we got waved on in. The atmosphere was amazing everyone just out for a good time as soon I walked in we started mixing in with other groups at the bar the. The djs kept the crowd going until we left at 7 but it was still pumping inside. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back Also if u want good food before going in try the food stall outside its called cheesys the food was very good and the guys that work there are brilliant.

    I'm latin. I've been living one year in Germany. Because of my facial features most people think I am Turkish or Arab. We made 3 hours queue, when we arrived at the door a blond tall security guard of long hair put a bad face and said "sorry but I won't let you in". He didn't even ask anything, so the only reason is pure racism. Never again

    Great bartending service. A little bit of a pain to get into. Do not recommend buying party favors from guys in the club. Cut with amphetamines. Bring at least $50 cash if you plan to pay to get in and have a couple drinks.

    The club used to be my favourite but after the pandemic I can't recognize it anymore. While it has a great potential of being perfect it unfortunately never is. I think the money greed completely destroyed the atmosphere. They just take more people inside than the club can handle. People just constantly crush each other or suffocate while trying to dance or enjoy the music. There is just poor organization. If you are going there be prepared fight against the crowd.

    (Translated by Google) Difficult to note a club which refuses you (3 guys) without reason explained. Just "it's not going to be possible tonight". We are there 2 times. Both times refused. Before us a group of 5 people it passes, we do not pass. Why ? Good question, they must not like strangers. (Original) Difficile de noté un club qui vous refuse (3 gars) sans raison expliqué. Juste " ça va pas être possible ce soir". Nous y sommes allez 2 fois. Les 2 fois refusé. Devant nous un groupe de 5 personnes ça passe, nous ça passe pas. Pourquoi ? Bonne question, ils doivent pas aimé les étrangers.

    The clubs alright. The music is good, I like the main floor with its lights. But I really don’t understand the hype around this place. We went a little bit before 1 am and didn’t have to wait in line and had absolutely no problem getting in. It’s mainly men I side with very few women so I understand if they turn away larger groups of men later in the night. Honestly it’s just another club like any other so don’t feel bad if they don’t let you in, you’re not missing out.

    My favorite night visiting Berlin was because of coming to this bar/nightclub. Some of the best music in the city, a beautiful venue with an outdoor terrace as well as decently priced drinks. Wednesday nights here are always the best. Highly recommend coming here if you live in Berlin or if you're on vacation here.

    (Translated by Google) Bah Maybe it's just me, but I'm through with Berlin More appearance than being Look into the (enlarged) eyes of the lost souls on the dance floor and you will see how superficial all the hype is Plus point for the modern presentation and location (Original) Bah Vielleicht bin es nur ich aber mit Berlin bin ich durch Mehr Schein als sein Schaut in die (erweiterten) Augen der verlorenen Seelen auf dem Dancefloor und ihr werdet sehen wie oberflächlich der ganze Hype ist Pluspunkt für die moderne Aufmachung und Lage

    One of the best clubs in Berlin. If you are looking for some chill time with good techno music best place for me so far. I didn’t have trouble getting in except once. I am not sure why she said not today when it was on Wednesday . :) Maybe she remembers me from last previous weekend. Its clean club and not a dirty place or smelly place. It has nice view in the morning..

    überbewerteter Ort! Yes the place close to the river is nice but once you are inside the place doesn't have any special, two floors, guys selling drugs in the toilets and medium rage cocktails. It could be a normal disco in another city. I won't stay in the queue for it. Service solala, i saw faster waiters in another bars in Spain.

    Myself and a friend (both English, but fluent in german) turned up with a couple of American friends, and were turned away because we were "too drunk" by a female bouncer who needs to sort her attitude out as she is losing them custom. We had actually had a singular drink each before turning up, and no ide why we were turned away. A waste of time, would not recommend.

    Good club. Sad to see it also now has a strict(er) door policy. This never was the case before and 2 friends got rejected whilst before covid we we always welcome. Nevertheless once you get in, amazing experience!

    Watergate was atrocious....obviously because we didn't get in! As a seasoned clubber/raver loving house and techno in equal measure it was a hugely disappointing and belittling experience to be turned away twice because we were 'too many men' (3 of us) or 'too many men inside' when two of us returned. Quite simply, judging by others who were admitted, it was our English accent! It ruined the weekend. The house and techno scene was built on diversity, tolerance and freedom....shame on you!

    Einer der schönsten Clubs in Berlin mit 2 Floors. Gerade die Aussicht auf die Spree ist am frühen Abend sehr beeindruckend. Garderobe und Bar funktioniert schnell und auch die Raucherbereiche sind gut. Preise sind ganz normal wie überall auch. Die Türpolitik funktioniert perfekt- an jedem Abend waren ausschließlich angenehme Menschen dort und eine positive Stimmung.

  • 5/5 Julien S. 4 years ago on Google
    With Berghain, the best club in Berlin. Music is great, or should I say, incredible. You can see the sunrise if you stay all night long and you can have a drink on a cool platform on the river. Love the place, and will go there again for sure !

  • 4/5 Jaun M. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice club, doorman wasnt too unfriendly, great view over the river while you party the night away. Siund system was good, drinks were flowing and were reasonably priced for a nightclub. Lightning on top floor was very nice, but preferred ground floor, darker with more 'housey' music.

  • 5/5 Marc R. 4 years ago on Google
    What. A. Mental. Night. I had heard about all the noise of the bigger clubs, however on the Thursday Night we arrived, we got an Uber along for some Techno just after midnight. My god, wee vodka Redbull, and the next thing I Ken is the sunrise is popping up through the windows. Highly recommend and the DJs were on top form.

    (Translated by Google) Extraordinary club. The staff was very respectful and attentive. The sound and lights are vibrant. Something that struck me is that it is next to the Oberbaumbrücke and from the dance floor you can see the bridge and the Spree river. The prices are fair and the quality of the DJs that visit it is unquestionable. Hopefully life will allow me to return. (Original) Extraordinario club. El staff fue muy respetuoso y atento. El sonido y las luces son vibrantes. Algo que me impactó es que esté al lado del Oberbaumbrücke y desde la pista de baile puedas ver el puente y el río Spree.

    The setting of the club is very unique, you have a platform in the river where you can take a break from the music. Also very stylish interior. The techno music is quite good, heavily depending on who is playing when you’re there.

    (Translated by Google) Too good! Reasonable prices for a club like this. We were two and we had a great time watching the young scene from Berlin. The place is clean, including someone with gloves and a mop all the time around. Bartenders are organized and fast. You can keep your coat in the closet and they are very emphatic about taking care of the ticket so as not to lose your clothes. You can't take photos inside and that's great, there are no stupid people looking at the phones all the time. We were a little afraid that they would not let us in, but it was quick and easy, and there is no "dress code". Anyway, I loved it !! (Original) Demasiado bueno! Precios razonables para un club como este. Eramos dos y la pasamos super bien viendo la escena joven de Berlín. El lugar está limpio, inlcuso hay alguien con guantes y con una trapera todo el tiempo alrededor. Los bartenders son organizados y rápidos. Puedes guardar tu abrigo en el armario y son muy enfáticos en cuidar el tiquet para no perder tu ropa. No se pueden tomar fotos al interior y eso es genial, no hay gente estúpida mirando los telefonos todo el tiempo. Teníamos un poco de miedo de que no nos dejaran entrar pero fue fácil y rápido, además no hay ningún "dress code". En fin, me encantó!!

    It is one of the great techno clubs in Berlin. The quality of the music is really high as they invite really good high class DJ's like Oliver Huntemann, Timo Maas, Anahit Vardanyan, Yulia Niko, Braunbeck, Teenage Mutants, Jamie and many more. You can enjoy the view of the river and bridge from the window later and it is really amazing.

    Depending on how you look like (and probably, where you are from) and if do not know the name of the DJ, they don't let you get in. If you want to choose people, do private partys, do not open a comercial place. Tried to go some years ago, but I couldn't get in. A ridiculous lady opened the rope and made me go round to get out (a kind of spectacle they do for humiliation).

  • 5/5 Sajed M. 2 years ago on Google
    As a producer. The sound system is one of the best in Berlin. The staff, security and bartenders are kind and lovely. The vibe inside is extremely great, an unforgettable experience until the sunrise. I loved the view and the service. In case of any emergency, I saw it in front of my eyes, the staff jumps to action directly, they are well trained for those things (overdose etc...) unfortunately, some people drink/consume irresponsibility "everywhere"... And you need the right service for this.

  • 5/5 Odin 2 years ago on Google
    Good sound system and responsible staff in terms of hygiene. They check all covid documents. A random guy grabbed a few ice cubes by hand on bar while a bartender was making a cocktail and she saw the unrequested attempt. She shouted on him to stop and revised the touched ice box. That tells me how serious they take their work! Unbelievable! Audience could be better, there were kids who behaved like in a bachelor party, with no sense of techno culture.

    Worst club in Berlin, fully of Germans and can’t handle people not from Berlin, very anti-Semitic. They told us they wouldn’t let us because of our yarmulkes. Terrible service and very expensive otherwise.

  • 3/5 lisa d. 1 year ago on Google
    The door should be more selective. You're letting too many people in, hard to enjoy the music while being jostled every 10 seconds. And a bit expensive. Too bad because the sound system is very good and the location is incredible

  • 4/5 nail çağrı y. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the most popular night club among tourists. Two stages with different kind of music, long queue in the entrance. It could be hard to wait at cold Berlin nights. Could be a good alternative to enter compare to other clubs. You must check the program beforehand, body guards may ask and if you don't know the DJ's, you might be refused after waiting one hour in the queue.

    Music is very nice Location is very unique Club is very clean and cozy Some stuff are very kind and some of one are very rude;( The most big problem by this Club is about smoking 👎👎 you can’t smoke inside, you have to go out and in winter every time you should take your jacket and take to much time and energy 👎

    Hatten im Vorverkauf Tickets gekauft, dann 1h in der Schlange angestanden, nur um dann von der Türsteherin ohne Begründung abgewiesen zu werden. Wenn man Leute, die bereits ein Ticket gekauft haben, trotzdem nicht reinlässt, kann man sich einen Vorverkauf auch direkt sparen. Ich hoffe, dass zumindest das Geld zeitnah zurückerstattet wird
