Location: The location can seem a bit sketchy, but I never felt particularly unsafe at any moment. You will most certainly encounter some unusual people outside. The People: After reading so many reviews about it, I understand why they have a strict appearance. But once you are in, pretty much every staff member is as friendly as any staff member can be. Bartenders were amazing. The Venue: - Part of the charm of this venue is the fact that it values privacy so I will not get into specifics, but I will mention general things: great drinks, a dark room, "rest" areas, AMAZING music, unisex bathrooms, really long lines, but great overall vibe inside. You will rarely find pictures of the venue because cell phones are covered with stickers in order to provide privacy for everyone inside, as it should be. A great club. - Upon being accepted inside, and after paying the entrance (which was like 5 euros only), the first ten seconds of entering this club was some of the happiest ten seconds of my life (nightlife-wise). - It opens at midnight on Friday and closes Monday morning. Maybe next time with enough energy drinks I can stay longer than 10 hours dancing. The Drinks: - Vodka shot and Red Bull: I do not remember how much it costs but it was so cheap. So happy. Upshot: The music in this venue can be described as follows: this is THE ONLY CLUB IN THE WORLD that I would personally go to absolutely sober without drinking alcohol (or smoking, etc.) and still have the best time of my life. That is how good this venue is. I got rejected the first time I tried, but the second time I got in. A part of my soul left me in Berghain, and I cannot wait until the next time I go to this venue. This is my favorite electronic club in the world, by far, nothing comes close to it.

Came a 2nd time during a later visit to Berlin, with the intent of checking it out on Sunday. We actually arrived early at 8am, and got rejected. Then showed up again around 3pm (wearing the exact same clothes) and made it in. So my recommendation is to come later for easier entry as the club is probably a little emptier. It still had a fair amount of people as we entered and the crowd seemed to be more locals than Saturday night. It got busier later in the night. Tips: -ice cream bar also sells smoothies, sandwiches and coffee. Smoothie was quite good -if you do go on Saturday night, the stamp will cover your entrance till Monday morning. So you can go and rest up on Sunday, and then return later in the evening -we left Sunday dinner to grab dinner and some fresh air at a nearby restaurant -Sunday has more locals. Saturday night is quite touristy and has a long line -this time I wore hoodie, black tank top and dark shorts (in pretty cold weather)

I'm 1-for-1 at the Berghain and still to this day... I'm not sure how I managed--especially after getting rejected from Tresor on earlier on in the week. In my mind I was already prepared to get hit with the "nein, next." Honestly I don't think my writing could do this place justice and I've been putting off this review since the moment I left the club. Prior to flying out to Berlin, I did my fair share of research and the closest review that mirrors my experience was the one published on The Vly House by Nick (a must-read if you're a fan of the Berghain or any Berlin nightclub). I rolled up on a Sunday afternoon (Unity Weeeknd, extended holiday), bottle of whitebier in hand, extra clothes in my bag, stank RBF on full. I kicked a few cigarettes while waiting in line just to pass the time while feeling the weight of my phone in my pocket, which I did not dare to pull out. If you're gonna take photos or video, take all of your footage while you are hundreds of meters away. There are cameras outside of the entrance from which the security watch you even before you reach the metal gates. After an hour's wait, I reached the front, eyes fixated on everyone but the security guards. Sven wasn't present, but I think I would've been incontinent of urine had he been there. One of the security members began to ask me questions while the others continued to watch the line from the surveillance TVs inside. He asked me: if I spoke German or English, if I had come alone, where I was from, why I travelled all the way from DC to Berlin, and how old I was. After answering all of his questions, he told me to wait. And it was the longest minute of my life--longer than a treadmill or microwave minute. I felt myself trembling harder than I had during any class presentation, and I tried not to make eye contact with anyone. Finally, the security member waved me inside. After a quick pat down, cover fee of 15 euros, and the precious arm stamp, I had entered church.

One of the most peaceful and accepting places on earth I know. Nowhere else (and I travel alot) did I found a place (i.e. a crowd of people) that is so accepting, open-minded, peacful, tolerant. It is just a perfectly safe, closed area where you literally can do whatever you want without anyone getting offended by that "whatever". Feeling like dancing naked ? Go for it - No one will stare at you / judge you / make stupid jokes etc. Feel like talking to completely strangers from all over the world ? Go for it - very seldom have I gotten strange looks for starting conversations with total strangers. Its just a very safe and welcoming atmosphere. The "safety" is also included in the architecture - there are no dead-ends anywhere. Even in the toilets you always can keep on walking and walking without getting "stuck". Besides it has great great music, one of the best sound system in the world and great DJs - but in my opinion, what makes it so special and unique is the attitude of the majority of the crowd. This obviously doesnt happen "by luck" or "by chance". It is the direct result of their very strict door policy. They try to select (within seconds - only based on outward appearance) who has this tolerant and open mindset and who - on the other hand - might be offended by the stuff going on inside. So if you get rejected, and think they made a "wrong" decision, as you think you have the right mind-set to accept anyone doing anything in front of you - dont be upset - the bouncers are only humans and cannot see "inside your head". They just have to make a very quick decision which they get most of the time right. To get rejected can also happen to regular "church goers". Once you have been inside and experienced the spirit I tried to explain above, you will understand and respect the very important work the bouncers do in order to keep the spirit and "safe-area" feeling inside intact. So if u got rejected, dont be sad/upset/mad; just go to one of the other great clubs of Berlin (e.g. Sysiphos or Golden Gate) and try it again another day with Berghain.

If you want to go here and are a gay man on his own, you will not be allowed in, no matter how attractive you are (as the door men are straight and don't care how cute guys are). If you have girls with you, you will get in. I was turned away, and then stood and watched the door policy. HOT guys by themselves got turned away. Average guys with average girls got let in. Is this what the nightlife scene in Berlin has become?! This is what google says is the best party on a Friday night? and they let trash in and reject gorgeous people? I'm very confused. I'm fine with me not getting in but I watched tons of other people get turned away and they were HOT. This place is stupid as fuck lol read more

The Berghain/Panorama Bar is the antidote to every terrible club I've been to in the US -- Expensive doors, shitty pretentious people, crap music, expensive drinks, bullshit dress codes. Take the inverse of that and you have the Berghain. Get in and dance all night to awesome house/techno. read more

Tried 3 times, got refused 3 times, classic. I might try again, who knows, life is long, and I wanna hear that sound system. I won't presume to have any idea how it feels inside. Berghain is like a supermodel who ignores you, simply because he/she can. It is not "nice", and won't show empathy in the process. It doesn't have to. It doesn't try to be mean either. Why did I get refused ? No idea. Like so many others. That's how it is ! You get in line, hope, maybe get refused, go somewhere else, rince and repeat. Until then I think it is appropriate to give 1 star to a place that disappoints more often than satisfies. Others will give 5 stars, so all in all, it's totally fair. Be prepared ! read more

The Berghain experience. WOW. JUST. WOW. I never really got why hundreds of people would get in line and maybe waste an hour or more of their night to get into a club where prob only 2 out of 10 people get in. But now I get it. We were a lil rude and skipped the bigger part of the line up and 30 minutes later got in. The music was so amazing. No actually amazing would be an understatement. It was hypnotizing. I couldn't concentrate on anything but my body moving to the really really loud music. My glasses were vibrating like cray cray on my nose. We danced from 3am till 1pm the next day and still there were lots of people when we left. There are no mirrors in the entire temple and no photos allowed. Everybody is high on something but the security is checking every tiny pocket for drugs. On saturdays you should take the kind of hidden stairs to get yourself some ice cream. Yup the Berghain has its own gelato place. Everything was perfect but it loses a star for the feeling you get when waiting in line forever and not knowing if you will get in. My weekends are the most precious to me, I don't really wanna waste that time.. read more

Do not waste your time. Not worth waiting for a chance to be let in. It's the dumbest thing I've ever experienced in my life.

Went here for New Year's Eve this year. I like to think I know how to party and I was definitely ready to. However, I must admit that I was severely underwhelmed. I got in with no problem, but the cover was pretty steep. The stories I've heard of this place are no doubt hyperbolic. There were no crazy drugs or people fucking in the bathrooms. The dance floor and music were okay, but I've seen better. I give it one star only because of my high expectations read more

Berghain is Berghain. What to say? Awesome music, the place is great. But you have to wait in line for some time. And you won't get in of you don't like these kind of places (read: if you're not cool enough). So don't go here if you're a "woo-girl" who's like "OMG this is supposed to be the best night club evahhh". Many naked men. Love it! read more

Berghain is for me a sort of second home when I'm in Berlin. I never had problems at the door ( and the fact I'm a professional dj/ music producer doesn't matter ) and for me their policy about door selection is completely right, that's why that club has a special atmosphere inside. Talking about music, I generally prefer the Panorama Bar, especially when people such Mano Le Tough, Dixon , Âmé , The Drifter, Dirt Crew, Deetron played there, but I've also heard really great sets by Radioslave, Nicole Moudaber, Marcel Dettman, Steve Rachmad and more in the Berghain. The soundsystem is one of the best in the world, especially the Berghain one, prices at the door and at the bar are totally fair for me. If you feel you belong at that place, try it out. But don't get upset in case they won't let you in : it's nothing personal, just Berghain is not for everyone. read more

If you like techno, this is the place to be. I heard this club is notoriously known for being extremely hard to get in for tourists. I tried to keep my mouth shut the whole time and let my friends handle the conversation with the bouncer. Getting in was quite smooth. It was really worth the wait. This is not your meatpacking clubs. So ladies please don't dress up. and no pictures inside the club. they will take your phone away! no jokes read more

The lines are way too long. The bouncers are very power hungry and would just not let you in if they don't like you, no specific reason. Most people are turned away even after waiting hours in line. And when i say most, it's more than half the people in the line. If you think the line is moving fast, it's because they are turning away people fast. Don't waste your time here... read more

Come for the music and have a nice time. No phones allowed. Great selection of Ostgut artists if you want to buy records at checkout.
if you consider yourself a connoisseur of club culture then this place should definitely be on your list of places to visit. Located inside of what appears to be a abandoned power plant this spot is definitely quintessential Berlin. Yes, there can be a massive line and, yes, the door staff can intimidating...but once you get inside it is all worth it. My favorite is the Panorama Bar, which is located inside upstairs. The music is typically great, the Club Matte is flowing, and there always seems to be an eclectic, international crowd to shake hands with. Be prepared for a marathon dancing session as this place didn't close until 3p the day after we entered...WHAT!? read more
Ha, Berghain has a yelp page. Do believe the hype. It's like another world in there. Yes it can be hard to get in for Americans but I've managed to get in 3 out of my 4 attempts within the past few years. Do go to dance. Don't act like a douche. read more

Really nothing special. Huge cover fee. Long line not worth it in my opinion. Got in but it just wasn't up to the hype. I like to rage and while I did here it's totally overrated. Wouldn't waste your time here especially as a tourist. You never know if you're going to be let in anyways. read more

The Panorama Bar is definitely the best part -- time stops at Berghain, so be prepared to go down the rabbit hole and have the time of your life! :) Be sure to say "please" and "thank you" when you order from the bar and tip! It seems to be harder to groups of dudes to get in at the door -- definitely know a bit about whatever Dj's you're going to see. read more

I have tried and failed many times to explain Berghain, so now I no longer bother. Go and see for yourself. But one key ethos of the club is to deny societal norms. Freaks, outsiders, and the open minded are welcome. That is why the door policy is so strict, I tried to get in when I was young and naive, and held some resentment for this, but as I grew and the city of Berlin changed me I am now a regular, and so very glad I was forced to wait. read more

OMG!!! to follow up my fellow qyper and daytime party animal sophie's opening words- Yes this is the only way to begin to discribe this club I come from Sydney offically the worlds Gayest city and have been missing my dark trashy seedy electro dens filled with drug loved crazy cocks in frocks and your general selection of misfits, clubbers, fag hags and people of the night. The bouncers are intense and there is a very police worthy pat down on entering the club for contraband (cameras mainly I think- an no you can not bring your Iphone in) they checked every pocket on you. But once your inside, the time spent queing is a thing of the past and you don't even midn the 12euro entry- this place is simply heaven for clubber alike- I haven't been to a club in years that's made me want to misbehave and go back to my clubbing day roots-Best friends are made in minutes- drags, fags, international party boys and girls, fag hags, ravers and a plethora of tattooed and pierced folks. Inside is clubbing greatness in the making... Hard Electro with eye wobbling lazers shows on the second floor for all those taking disco treats- and a more dark and progressive electro room on the top floor, throw in several chill out areas and two very social co-ed bathrooms, a art gallery and a gelato bar and you have a party wonderland that'll keep you happy and going for days (If you have the energy) Even though this place is packed it's still easy to buy a drink at the bar- the toilets are the dirtiest things around with usually more then one person in them at a time- there are no mirrors (Thank god!) and the lines are gratefully short. One funny thing we discovered were dark rooms on the first floor hooking up? gay cruising? (seriously) a dark purple hued labyrinth with tiny semi closed off cubicles and dark corners and spaces in which to melt away in with someone if you so choose- I personally wouldn't recomend lurking about here unless your with someone... We came in the morning at 7am and despite saying we were only going to probably party for 3-4 hours we ended up staying for a good 9-10 hours (I think we sat for only 1 hour of that time...if even) We never made it to the tattoo convention which is what brought us to Berlin in the fist place. TIPS- Don't come in a big group if you don't think all of your party will get in. Dress for fun, dancing and comfort -Oh and don't slide down three sets of banisters on your exiting the club (as I did) it's fun but you realise two hours later that your tee-shirt is black and your not sure how or why it became this way. This is Germany's electro scene- this is what I've been waiting for! Can't wait to go back!! read more

The door policy is completely random. Judge for yourself by the number of taxis waiting to take rejected punters away as you stand in the queue (even just after it opens at midnight). We were lucky but I would say about 30 to 40% of people were asked to step over to the right...which means 'you're not coming in'. The biggest rejections seemed to be for groups of 4 or more, girls, hoodies and under 25s. The club is good but Tresor is much better - unless you're into gay-sex in dark spaces, filthy unisex toilets and shitty bar staff - in which case queue for Berghain. read more

I thought its bigger. But i also thought i find only tourists there, which i did not. Very roomy, very crowded and very interesting people. All seem to be very happy there. You can find a big mixture of different people from all over the world. Still not touristy. The drinks are well done and i danced a lot to the music. It is a place you can arrive alone to, but dont have to leave alone. You dont have to like electronic music to like the berghain. read more

first of all: it is not a club where you pull girls to go home with. but what is stricking is the cool professional staff that serves you pleasantly at bar and coat check. I couldnt say anything bad about the door either. less words, clear answers, no bullshit. The interior: awesome. worth going, just for that. guests: I have never experienced any violence in that place. Guests are happy, curious, cool, calm, and very much okay. A club worth going! And I did not even mention the music. read more

First this place stinks...I mean it smells like sh*t and urine cooking. Once you get pass the smell, the fun begins. The music is great, people are dancing like there is no tomorrow. Yeah, it it like New York in the 90s. Wear something you can throw in the washer, cos it def will stink when you leave. Have fun! read more

Celtics is talking a load of rubbish - i saw lots of asian women in there (wearing very little - and then less) and was talking to an Australian guy - and i'm not a hipster and i'm not gay and i'm therefore not a gay-hipster but i got in ok 'cause the doorstaff make a judement call on whether you came for the music / extras or because you see it as a 'tourist attraction' and what you're wearing, how you act and how you'd act to what others wearing / behaving / doing read more

If I could I would give them 0 stars!!! I waited two hours in the cold and the guy at the door won't let me in. He talked to me in English and I replied in German. My German is native. He was very surprised that I speak German natively because I am Asian. He said that he won't let me in and that he can't tell me why. He said that people who want to go in have to take a risk that they won't be let in. He said it in a very sickly proud way. I was dressed very low key, flat shoes and just a white T-shirt and a H&M black skirt. However, if I may be honest, the crowd there were all dressed in black and look like they are high or drug induced. Maybe he saw the fact that I am not a drug addict. Or maybe it was because I am Asian. Anyway, I will never ever go to this racist unfriendly place again. My taxi driver told me that many women cry after they waited in the cold for too long and are rejected at the door. He also told me that inside they sell drugs so they are very careful who to let in and who not. I am very disappointed at Berlin for this. I do not recommend it to other tourists, especially if you are not white or do not speak German. I can't believe it's 2019, and I am judged on the color I wear. Guess what, I was born like this, this color, and I am proud of being Asian. And excuse me, tattoos and piercings do not represent beautiful individuality and drugs are not cool. read more

Reading the other comments, I kind of feel I am one of the few people that actually got in that did not enjoy the experience. I got in on a Sunday morning at around 8am after partying all night somewhere. Line was around 20 mins. I stayed a couple of hours, and then came back on Sunday evening. The Good: -Music. Yes, it is pretty good. Their sound system is fantastic. The DJs that played that day were pretty good. -The price: for 20 Euros, being able to party non-stop for days is a great deal. -The liberated sexual environment (in the unlikely event you find someone you like, read below) is awesome. The not-so-good: -The door policy thing that has no logic at all put me off a little to be honest. In the USA they would have been sued for discrimination eons ago. But I was lucky enough to only wait 20 mins and get in. -The air and the smell are gross. Smokers everywhere. No noticeable vent system. Windows that would not open, even in the toilets. Ironically, the cleanest air was in the designated 'smoking areas', as all the smokers are just everywhere else. -One of the ways that supposedly helps you get in is to come in alone or in smaller groups. I would have thought that this encourages a sense of community inside, but I found it way harder than in most other Berlin clubs to talk to people and meet new friends. Hundreds of people inside and yet I felt so alone! -Everywhere is very dark, like a dungeon. I personally enjoy some good disco lighting. -If you are looking for the attractive crowd this is not the place. I was surprised that during CSD (Gay Pride) the crowd was so unattractive. I expected a bunch of hot guys to be here. My take: if you are lucky enough to get in with a group of friends and your only expectation is good music, this could be fun. If you are looking for a more social experience, hooking up, or a more standard clubby experience, I don't think this is the best club in Berlin. read more

It is dark and filled with many bodies, usually clad in black or metal but occasionally one outlier looking different or wearing largely nothing at all. As u enter there is a side space with a small illuminated bar to the left. There is a path behind the bar with piping for which people may sit. As u dive further there is a giant statue of a man with a conch like some bizzare distopian figurehead. At this point the music is starting to rattle your bones. There is a large entryway with a wide staircase that is open to the masses above. Overhead a giant discoball sits poised, probably 10 ft or more in diameter. Here as u rise to the second floor you will see the main dance floor. Only techno, but bone shattering, with people all moving in conjunction like some bizzare multicellular organism. Wear earplugs. To the right is another more hefty bar. Upstairs is Panorama room, this is a lively but lower temp community, like a shallow tidepool teaming with life but indifferent to the Rocky shoals surrounding. It's lit in Green with house. Blinds to the far wall shade huge windows. They open at 7am and everyone melts. outside is a sitting and smoking area with large pieces of stone and wire fence; remnants from earth before the atomic war. read more
I wish I had pictures to share but I was told very specifically twice before entering that there are no pictures inside, I like sharing with yelp but I wasn't willing to get kicked out, my friend told me about this place and recommended that I check it out while in Berlin so I made sure to stop here, as I asked people around Germany they all said they've heard of it but have also heard that it can be hard to get in on a Friday and Saturday night, this is the place that's infamous for all weekend parties from Friday night until Monday afternoon sometime, I happened to be here on a Tuesday night and saw online that there was a show here, I knew none of the DJs that were supposed to perform but I was still gonna go, the doors were set to open at 8pm, I got here about 15 min before but I had to walk around a lot before finding it because there are no signs, it's very incognito, according to a girl I met outside of the club the place used to be a power plant back in the day. On a Tuesday night it's not hard to get in I guess because the amount of people is way less, I also heard it's easier to get in when there is a specific event going on instead of the regular parties, I bought my ticket inside for 20 euro, coat check was 1.50 euro, beers were 4 euro and shots of well drinks were 3 euro and I heard those prices are always the same which is good, the space itself is huge and from what I was told it was only about 30 percent open because it was just the concert, the thing i didn't like is that they allow smoking inside so by the end of the night I smelled like an ashtray and could barely breathe inside, the sound and lights are amazing I could see why people make a big deal about here, I honestly didn't love the people who were performing but it was nice to dance and enjoy this space, if I'm ever in the area again on a weekend I would definitely like to try to experience that weekend party thing, as far as dress code, there definitely wasn't one, I hear they prefer a more casual look anyway. read more

You get what you expect - it's as hard as everyone says. For a nice Techno weekend opener go to Panoramabar on Friday around midnight, it's international Techno as it's best and quiet a nice, sophisticated crowd. Dance till dawn on Saturday morning when they close the blinds in front of the windows. If you come back on Sunday afternoon, you get the real deal. Every floor level of the warehouse is open and the people you saw at Panoramabar on Friday are still dancing, but now on the main floor which is hardcore pure and not sophisticated anymore. If you didn't party three days & nights in a row, it's hard to get to the level these people are on. read more

I read tons of things on the internet about Berghain, in my experience pretty much all those things are true...the queue, the door policy etc. but if you make it you're going to forget all those things and you'll experience the best clubbing experience ever (at least for me that was the case). It really changed my concept of clubbing. I am really not sure that Berghain is real, because when you're inside it's like being in a parallel world where time doesn't exist. It's always dark in Berghain, it doesn't matter if it's 6am or 5pm, light doesn't belong to it. Light exists sometimes at Panorama Bar, from time to time they open the blinds and you remember you're still in this world. In summer if the weather is good there's a garden with djs - obviously - as well, which makes the whole place even more surreal, if possible. I'm not gonna talk about the music because you know it's gonna be so good, and the residents are definitely the ones I enjoyed the most. That said Berghain is about experience, you've got to - try to - go there to understand what's like. And something will remain inside yourself after you leave that place, and you'll keep asking yourself if what you saw/heard/felt in those 10 hours or so was real. read more

Ja, ja das Berghain!!! Der heilige Grahl unter den Techno Clubs! Nirgendwo sonst gibt es sie: eine derart konsequent feierwütige Crowd, die das Dauergrinsen wieder am Firmament etabliert und sich auf die Ursprungswerte zurückbesinnt: Euphorie und Energie! Versinken in anderen Sphären gehört hier nicht nur zum guten Ton, sondern es ist das, wofür das illustre Publikum eben in den strahlenden Gemäuern zusammenkommt. Hier gibt man sich mit bestem Gewissen dem Exzess hin, schaut ihm ins Auge, begreift sein Wesen und erkennt in ihm den allumfassenden Sinn des Lebens! Die Panoramabar als Teil des Bewusstens und der Berghain Floor als Repräsentant des Unterbewusstens und damit des Wahrens, des Schönens, aber auch des Schrecklichens. Der Berghain Floor als einer der ganz wenigen Floors in Berlin, auf dem man sich vollkommenst auf die Erforschung der durch repetitive Techno Sounds ausgelösten inneren Empfindungen konzentrieren kann und so auch seine eigenen Interpretationsmuster besser zu verstehen erlernt. Eben jener Berghain Floor macht das Berghain für mich aus. "Gedanken sind so wie Techno Sounds" - dies war meine erste bewusste Erkenntnis auf dem Berghain Floor, welche ich durch viele weitere Sessions in unglaublichen Details ausgearbeitet habe und auf dem mittlerweile vielleicht ein Großteil meines Weltbildes basiert. Ab Mittagstunde an einem Sonntag ist die beste Zeit, um die positiven Vibes des Floors, des Surroundings und der unnachgiebigen Crowd in sich aufzusaugen und um all die schiere Masse an Positivität für den nächsten ruhmreich erarbeiteten Gedankengang zu verwenden. Hier trifft man auf fachkundiges Szenevolk, mit dem man sich bei der Runterkommsession am Montag zuhaus über die kleinsten Details eines DJ Sets unterhalten kann und weiß, dass der Gegenüber einen versteht. Denn es ist die wahnsinnig gute Anlage im Berghain, die dadurch entzückt, dass auch bei enormer Lautstärke jeder einzelne Ton, jede Baseline und jede High Head genau so rüberkommt wie vom Dj erdacht. Der Sound am Sonntag ist im Durchschnitt überragend und nur wenn es ganz katastrophal kommt, legt ein DJ auf, den man nur mittelmäßig findet... Der Vortex des Berghain verschlingt einen, die Grundatmosphäre ist die Eintrittskarte zu anderen Sphären und wenn man wahrlich bereit ist einzutreten, gibt es keinen Club in Berlin, der tiefer, weiter und intensiver geht als das Berghain! Absolut zu empfehlen ist der Berghain Floor in Verbindung mit etwas synthetischer, am besten gar mit kristalliner Unterstützung, um die volle Berghain Experience richtig auf sich wirken lassen zu können, um simultan die abgekackten Impressionen folgerichtig zu absorbieren und zum Teil all dessen zu werden, das eine Party im Berghain ausmacht! Momente der sich ausbreitenden, unendlichen Ewigkeit, dazu gloriose Verzückungen, wahrliche und wahrhaftige Erkenntnisse und die schon fast fatale Gewissheit, dass nirgendwo noch maximaleres Potenzial abgeschöpft werden kann als bei einer Berghain Experience - dies und noch viel viel mehr durfte ich im Berghain erleben. Vielen Dank, mein allerbestes Bergi!!! read more

Nein ich habs nicht persönlich genommen nicht reinzukommen. Das verursacht bei mir jetzt weder Minderwertigkeitskomplexe, noch nagt es an meinem Selbstwertgefühl, noch . und jetzt kommts: noch bereu ichs. Und das ist der eigentliche Grund, warum ich diesen Beitrag schreibe. Ich habe mir verschiedene Threads über Türpolitik von diversen Locations angesehen.. überall findet man die gleichen Muster: Wenn du nicht reingekommen bist, isses wohl gut so., Wird schon seinen Grund gehabt haben., Beiträge wie DEINER kennzeichnen genau DIE Leute die wir nicht drin haben wollen, etc. etc. das sind leider Kindereien. Spart euch diese Art von Kommentaren bitte gleich. Ich schreibe diesen Beitrag, weil ich aus Wien komme. Dort gibt es 2 Locations in denen die meisten Acts zugegen sind, alles was Rang und Namen hat. Da kommt jeder rein. Das war von Anfang an so. Das wird auch so bleiben. Wer nicht Mist baut fliegt auch nicht raus. Aber man hat das Gefühl daß jedem, absolut jedem eine Chance gegeben wird. Das hat in Wien auch diese Musik (und anfangs nehm ich an auch in Berlin) großgemacht, unter anderem. Wenn ich ausgehe, um zu elektronischer Musik zu tanzen, möchte ich genau diesen Spirit erleben. Ich möchte weder mitbekommen daß eine Gruppe von 3 Leuten hinter mir, die zufälligerweise alle dunkel sind nicht reinkommt (aber ich schon so erlebt i), noch daß irgendwer draußen bleiben muss weil er dem Türsteher aus oberflächlichen Gründen nicht passt. Diese Unterwerfung einer Art Tür-Richter gegenüber macht für mich den ganzen Abend kaputt. Nicht, das nicht-Reinkommen. Nein. Darum gehts wirklich nicht. Es geht um diese Mentalität, es geht darum, daß ich auch drin weiß, da tanzen Leute die Ja zu sowas sagen. Die würden vllt auch Ja zu ganz anderen Dingen sagen. Und das beunruhigt. Mein Erlebnis vorm Berghain hab ich nicht persönlich genommen, im Gegenteil ich fand den Herrn Sven sogar lustig, mit seinem finsteren Blick hinter den Sonnenbrillen bei Nacht. Ich wollte ihm schon sagen er soll öfter mal Lächeln. Meine Freundin die mit war hatte mir gesagt daß es am Sonntag schwer ist, reinzukommen, bei Nacht. Aber ehrlich gesagt ich hab seitdem (und das war sicher nur der Tropfen der bei mir das Fass zum Überlaufen gebracht hat) keine Lust mehr auszugehen in Berlin. Ich komm im Endeffekt eh fast dauernd rein, aber diese Mentalität stößt mir so sauer auf, daß ich nicht mehr will. Vielleicht kommt die Lust ja mal wieder.. Schade um den Spirit, schade um das Feeling. Wirklich, ich hatte gedacht wir wären über solche Zeiten schon lange hinweg. Beim bloßen Gedanken noch einmal in so einer Schlange zu stehen oder hineinselektiert zu werden und dazuzugehören wird mir inzwischen schon übel. Leider wisset außerdem ich war von Anfang an dabei, und release/produce selbst. read more

Wenn man noch verschiedene Clubs ausprobieren möchte, sollte man das Berghain als letztes aufsuchen - wenn man einmal da war, geht man nirgendwo anders mehr hin. Es ist egal wie Du aussiehst (ich sehe gut aus :P), es ist egal was Du an hast (ich bin top gekleidet :P), es ist egal wie Du tanzt (ich...naja, geht so :P), es ist egal was Du in den dunkleren Ecken treibst - dieses Gefühl der absoluten Freiheit ist einfach großartig. Und einzigartig. Natürlich kann ich im Sinne Poppers nicht ausschließen, dass es bessere Clubs auf der Welt gibt, aber ich kann es mir derzeit einfach nicht vorstellen: Die Location ist unvergleichlich, die Musik hört man nicht nur, man spürt sie, der Service ist top (Eis, belegte Brote, Obst...) und mehr will ich eigentlich nicht. Oben gibt es noch die Panorama Bar, die auch gut, klein, mit einem 'traditionelleren' Publikum, immer heiß und sehr voll ist. Solange im BH aufgelegt wird, gibt es eigentlich wenig Gründe nach oben zu gehen ;) Grundsätzlich kann man immer blind ins Berghain gehen, schlecht ist es nie. Zwar ist bei den 5,6 DJs immer mal einer dabei, den man nicht ganz so optimal findet - aber selbst der ist dann besser als das meiste was man sonst so in der Stadt findet. Die Türsteher sind absolut in Ordnung und scheinen wirklich ein gutes Auge zu haben wenn man sich die entspannte und ausgelassene Stimmung im BH anschaut. Ich war jetzt gut 20x da und noch nie gab es irgendwelche Probleme, Ärger oder ähnliches. Mein Eindruck ist, dass größere Gruppen nur äußerst selten hereinkommen und Leute, die offenkundig nur wegen dem Erinnerungsfoto ins BH wollen, haben ebensowenig Chancen wie Prolls und Teenies. Kleidung und Stil ist egal, solange Dein Geist rein ist und Spaß haben will :-) So unterschiedlich das Publikum auch ist, so wird es dennoch durch zwei Faktoren geeint: niemand ist aggressiv und der absolute Großteil ist wirklich da um zu tanzen. Schade ist aus meiner Sicht nur, dass eben doch sehr viele auf der Tanzfläche rauchen und es im Laufe der Nacht und des folgenden Tages immer mehr werden. So schlimm wie bspw. im Tresor ist es aber zum Glück nicht. Natürlich gibt es viele Schwule im BH, ich würde schon schätzen, dass sie etwa 40% ausmachen, allerdings sehe ich das etwas anders als z.B. mailtojm in seiner Bewertung. Nach meinem Empfinden sind sie weitgehend für die freie Atmosphäre und die gute Stimmung verantwortlich und daher absolut essentiell für das Berghain-Erlebnis ;) Wenn man an der Garderobe seine Sachen abgibt und schon die Musik wummern hört, wenn man dann nicht mehr an sich halten kann und die Stahltreppe nach oben tanzt, wenn man dann oben ist und einem die Boxen mit brutalem Bass die Woche aus dem Kopf pusten - dann erlebt man wahrlich vollendete Glücksgefühle. read more

First of all, in 2017, tattoos, piercings, and looking freakish does NOT show individuality. In fact, my contention is that one is more of an individual in today's world if they have no tattoos, piercings, and freakish looks. Anyone who remembers how the Love Parade was back in the 90s, and the illegal rave scenes in the U.S. and western Europe in the 80s and 90s will tell you that techno die hards come in all shapes and sizes. Unfortunately, the majority of the people who's lifestyle revolves around the philosophy of techno will be rejected from Berghain. True, it's door policy is not really racist, xenophobic, or xenoglossophobic as some have said. However, if you are a foreigner or part of an ethnic group, it won't help your situation with the bouncers, and you will probably get rejected. Don't analyze it too much if you get turned away. Most of the rumors about the club are sensationalized. If you won't take "nein" for an answer, and just have to get inside to see what the overhyped fuss is about, then go on an early Sunday morning. As someone who has ventured inside before, I understand the need for prohibiting the typical alpha-male "bro," or bimbo-twerking gal types from entering and giving it a bad rep. The truth is that most techno clubs in Berlin do a fine job of this already, but in Berghain you will sometimes find these types inside due to the real fans of this music getting rejected, or them not wanting to wait in a long queue in the cold only to be told "Go away," in German. There are loads of other clubs in Berlin and the rest of Germany that are not tourist traps. Berghain is a tourist trap. Sisyphos, Watergate, Tresor, Suicide Circus, and aboutblank will probably give you more enjoyment, and tend to be less pretentious. If you are backpacking in West Germany, a personal favorite of mine would be Mikroport near Dusseldorf. While Berghain's music and sound system are great, the simple fact that my brothers and sisters within the rave scene have been denied entry into the club on numerous occasions for no logical reason prohibits me from giving this a positive review. If enough people simply stopped coming, the door policy would eventually let up. Remember, at the end of the day, this is a business! read more

Attacked by racist bouncers. My girlfriend and I are an interracial queer couple (my girlfriend is black and I am white). Many of our friends had recommended Berghain to us so we thought we'd give it a go. We visited on a Sunday as it would be quieter. We queued up and all of the people in front of us (who just so happened to be white) got let in. When it came to my girlfriend, the doorman said "no,you're not coming in. I don't like the look of you". My girlfriend replied "why?" when another doorman grabbed her from behind and threw her on the floor. As she got up, he punched her so hard in the face that I heard it. As she got up, shaken and in pain, all 4 of the bouncers started laughing. We shouted at the bouncers that we were calling the police. We stood about 20m away from the entrance, when 2 female staff members came out of the club and threatened us and told us to leave. When we explained what happened and that we were calling the police, the women started hitting us and then grabbed us and dragged us to some benches about 50m away, whilst the doorman who punched my girlfriend followed behind them. Eventually when the police came they spoke to the doorman but it was clear that they didnt care. As we were leaving, a local couple came up to us and said that Berghain is notorious for being racist and violent to black people. PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE A POC, IT IS NOT SAFE. After what we were hoping would be a fun night, my partner and I are traumatised. Her jaw is swollen and sore when she chews or talks. My wrists are sore from where the female staff members grabbed them up. Please boycott Berghain. They employ aggressive and dangerous people, and willingly uphold, exercise and defend racism and violence against POC. read more

Dies ist nur eine Bewertung für den Türsteher, der uns nicht reingelassen hat. Unsere erlebte Situation war so, dass wenig los war, wenige Leute in der Schlange vor uns, die nach und nach durchgewunken wurden. Danach wurden wir zu zweit normal aussehend/gekleidet - ca. 10 Minuten warten gelassen , um uns dann, als endlich weitere Leute kamen , sehr überheblich zu sagen "dass wir 2 uns etwas anderes suchen " müssten . Dies hätte man allerdings bei uns auch sofort machen können. Jemandem den Eintritt zu verwehren, kann ok sein, je nach grundsätzlicher Einstellung. Letztlich wurden wir jedoch dafür instrumentalisiert, nachfolgenden Gästen den Eindruck einer Schlange bzw. Notwendigkeit einer Wartezeit zu später Stunde zu signalisieren, was wohl ein Ausdruck besonderer Exklusivität sein soll. Unterm Strich war es jedoch nur eine extrem fragwürdige und willkürliche Selektion von Menschen dargestellt in höchster Überheblichkeit, welche glücklicherweise keine größere Konsequenz nach sich zieht, außer das 2 Typen nicht in irgendeinen Club kommen. Hätten Personen dieser Art sonst in irgendeiner Form Macht oder Einfluß , wäre das wohl kritisch. Ob der Besitz einer tollen Soundanlage jede Form der Diskriminierung rechtfertigt, müssen die beurteilen, die sie gehört haben. Nochmal : den Eintritt zu verwehren ist das gute Recht eines jeden Kneipenbesitzers und die eine Seite der Medaille, ein respektvoller Umgang mit Menschen die andere . read more

Klar, der türsteher kann nerven und auch mir passiertelefon es schon dass der finger nach rechts ging und nicht richtung eingang nach links. Dennoch würde das höflich kommuniziert. Um die wirklich hohe qualität der gäste und somit des clubs bei dem andrang von deppen, touris, posern & teenyhorden zu wahren, muss hart selektiert werden. Rein kann eh nicht jeder, da die bude sonst aus allen nähten plätzen würde. Wer drin ist weiß für was er gewartet hat: spektakuläre völlig werbebrandig befreite location, exellente musik von internat. topacts. Stundenlanges feiern, labern, vögeln, chillen oder situation-angucken, alles ist möglich. Oben in der panabar herrscht zu weniger harten beats eine fast schon familiäre athmo. Man kann gut tanzen und kommt mit leuten easy ins gespräch. Unten im bh-mainfloor ist es mental schon etwas unterkühlt. Leute dort sind oft druffer als oben und eher auf sich selbst, tanzen oder den nächsten f*** orientiert. Ich mag beider floors, da bei einer 12 h session in dem laden abwechslung gut tut. Fazit: Nach vielen BH besuchen, fast alle für sich irgendwie unvergesslich, für mich einer der besten clubs ever. Auf jeden fall der Laden, der die inneren Sinne durch sound, location und das gesamt paket am massivsten rockt. read more

Berghain is amazing, once you are in that is. As a bit of a veteran I have been rejected just about as many times as I have got in, but every bit of rejection has been worth the amazing times I have had there. If you want to get in, be smart. Go in on your own or just 2 people, obviously it is a gay club, so girls are less likely to get in than guys. Go early, the easiest time to get in is between 12-1am, this time is also when the line moves the fastest so you won't have to wait so long, if you don't want to go out that early go get your stamp and then go home. Don't wear clothes that make you stand out, this makes it easier to get in the second time if you don't get in at first. Go away for an hour or so and then try again. Don't take it personally, half the time its just luck, its not cos you are, asian, black, white, gay, straight, you aren't looking like a hipster or what ever else you can think of, it is just random luck, often to do with who is around you in the queue for example if there is a group of drunken English (just an example, no offence meant!) being loud and rowdy, then there is more of a chance that quiet, normal acting people behind them will get in. read more

Für mich nach wie vor einer der abgefahrensten Clubs überhaupt. Einfach mal den Schalter umlegen und völlig losgelöst und ausgelassen tanzen und in eine andere Welt abtauchen. Fantastisch. Der Sound ist einfach super. Dort hört man nicht nur mit den Ohren, sondern mit dem gesamten Körper. Der Bass frisst einen auf. Zugleich habe ich aber nie das Gefühl, dass es zu laut ist, selbst wenn man direkt neben der 3-Meter Box steht ;-) Das spricht für die außerordentlichen Klangverhältnisse in dem Club. Getränkepreise sind wirklich in Ordnung. Bedienung ist steht`s gut drauf und hin und wieder gibt's auch mal n Schluck mehr Schnapp in den Drink. Türpolitik: Ich bin auch mal nicht reingekommen. Wenn ich dann mal abgewisesn wurde, dann auch steht's freundlich. Und abgeweisen zu werden ist auch kein Problem. Verstehe die Leute nicht, die dann jedes mal rumzicken und den Club schlecht machen, nur weil sie nicht reingekommen sind. Dann auch zur Recht. Wenn man da hingeht, dann weis man doch was einem erwartet. Die Auswahl ist m.E. aber großtenteils gut. Drinnen erwartet einen ein m.E. entspanntes, unaufdringliches Publikum. read more

La disco Berghain es una discoteca peligrosa, se diría que los que trabajan allí se piensan que sigue existiendo la Alemania Oriental (de hecho la discoteca está en Berlín Oriente). Tras esperar 1h30 en la puerta a los que estaban delante nuetra no les dejaron entrar sin darles ninguna explicacion. Es mas, no dan explicacion ninguna de por que algunos no entran, y otros nos comentaron que lo hacen siguiendo un orden: 1 de 8, 1 de cada 9... etc. Dentro no hay ningun tipo de espectaculo, ni pantallas, ni siquiera luces de colores. Es una nave indutrial vacia. Siempre la misma musica q te termina cansando, en todas las pistas. En vez de coca-cola te ponen afri-cola, malisima por cierto. Y lo mas grave es que estando alli tan tranquilos, en 4 ocasiones vimos a los puertas llavarse con violencia a distinta gente, sin mediar palabra y sin saber que ocurria. No se que harian, pero la violencia que usaron los puertas era nazi. Un mal rollo total. Una discoteca en la que no se puede estar tranquilo ni a la hora de entrar ni cuando estas dentro. No pensamos volver. read more

Le Berghain, c'est un peu la Mecque du Berlin underground. La seule différence c'est que l'entrée est ultra-sélect sur des critères impossibles à gérer puisque le quinqua plein de tattoo est physionomiste. Ta tête lui revient pas du rentres pas. J'ai pas 20 ans et je suis rentrée du premier coup alors que toi mes potes se sont fait recaler. Et je suis entrée deux soirs de suite de la même façon. Il se souvenait de moi. Ceci dit il faut surtout être relax et parler allemand aide beaucoup ! J'ai adoré l'expérience ! C'est un vrai labyrinthe et si vous ne voulez pas perdre vos potes de vue, ou atterrir dans une dark room vaut mieux bouger en petit groupe. La musique est bonne, mais l'idéal est d'entrer avant 1h, ils deviennent beaucoup plus sélectifs après. Et l'ambiance ne commence à se réchauffer que vers 1:30/2h du mat'. Aussi : pas de paillettes ou de trucs clinquants, sauf si ça fait partie du style. Je suis entrée en chemise et jeans. Et surtout : Ayez un plan de secours, ne prenez pas du tout acquis votre entrée au Berghain read more

Er is al zoveel geschreven over deze tent. Er gaan zoveel verhalen de ronde en meer en meer mensen zijn er al een keer geweest. En inderdaad, je moet er een keer echt zelf geweest zijn om het allemaal te kunnen begrijpen. Ik ben redelijk naar veel clubs en feestjes geweest, hier in Duitsland en zeker ook in NL, maar deze tent is en blijft nog steeds echt zo anders dan anders! De intensiteit en de vibe zou ik kunnen vergelijken met de ouwe Tresor, maar dan toch net anders. De sfeer, de mensen, de tent zelf en vooral de muziek, tja, geen woorden voor ... Voor het eerst in 2007 bezocht en nog steeds diezelfde vibe en sfeer behouden, gelukkig. Soms zijn er wat te veel Italianen en Spanjaarden, maar dat is wel oke (niet altijd) ;) Een tip, zondag is de nieuwe zaterdag! Wil je niet al te veel 'toeristen' om je heen hebben, ga dan pas zondag naar binnen. Wat betreft alles wat er omheen en binnen gebeurt: bezoek deze tent en check het zelf uit. read more

Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass ich dem Berghain jemals weniger als 5 Sterne geben würde. Aber der Mythos stirbt. Das alte Stammpublikum bleibt mittlerweile größtenteils fern und daran kann auch die Tür nichts ändern: Wer sich nicht anstellt, kann nun mal nicht reingelassen werden. Der bunte Mix der ersten Berghain-Jahre (Schwule, Heten, Transen, Raver, bizarre Nachtgestalten, Punks, Künstler, Hartzer und Banker) ist wohl für immer Geschichte. Stattdessen langweiliges und gelangweiltes Einerlei. Viele Leute wirken, als ob sie auf irgendwelche Sensationen warten, die hier längst nicht mehr stattfinden. Vom Publikum abgesehen gibt's an dem Laden nach wie vor wenig zu meckern. Das Personal ist fast ausnahmslos super, die Anlage Weltklasse, die Location einmalig. Selbst an Kleinigkeiten wurde gedacht (Ohrstöpsel und Kondome an den Bars, Versorgung mit belegten Broten und Kaffee, Selfie-Blocker in Form kleiner Aufkleber). read more

berghainwas wird geschimpft, gelogen und gemotzt. die tür: macht den besten job den eine tür machen kann. das publikum: die wo reinkommen genießen es, feiern, haben spaß. die nicht rein dürfen: wird schon einen grund haben. interessant sind die kommentare von denen die nicht rein durften. klar, ich wär auch sauer, aber dann alles schlecht und mies machen? ne! der club ist genial, es gibt nichts besseres (natürlich nur wenn man die musik mag). die crew an der tür, an den bars, der gaderobe, den technikern, den saubermännern usw. leisten einfach gute arbeit. wie auch die djs. ich kenne keinen besseren club. von new york über ibiza oder sonstwo in deutschland und der welt. das ostgut war schon genial, das berghain ist genial und ich hoffe noch oft, sehr oft, in den genuß zu kommen im für mich weltbesten club zu feiern. danke berghain und allen die dazu beitragen. ich freu mich aufs nächste mal. read more

Jetzt haben hier alle schon so viel ueber das Berghain geschrieben, dass vielleicht ein Review über das alte Ostgut (dort wo heute die O2-World steht) angebracht wäre ... bin dafür aber viel zu faul! Ein Stichwort dennoch über das Foyer/ die Garderobe: Ich nenne diesen wunderbaren Transit-Raum eigentlich schon seit langem mit meinen Feierfreunden die Abflugschalterhalle und zwar deswegen, weil die sirrend-flirrende Stimmung kommender und gehender Party-KönigInnen und -Leichen sowie die im Hintergrund schon wummernde Bässe einem sowohl wenn man um 1.30 Uhr nachts, um 6.00 Uhr morgens oder um 16.00 Uhr nachmittags ins Berghain geht, ruck-zuck in die richtige Stimmung bringt: FEIERN BIS DER ARZT KOMMT! Viel Spaß allen, die da noch nie waren, aber vorhaben dorthin zu gehen :-) read more

Marketing-Gag der seinesgleichen sucht. Ich war nun mehrmals drin, weil Freunde mich immer mit reingenommen haben. Das Ding ist unterste Schublade! Man zahlt sehr hohen Eintritt (12-14 Euro) und der Laden ist es echt nicht wert! Die Leute taugen nichts, Bar ist scheiße, man wartet echt ewig, der sound ist war fett, aber das gleicht es echt nicht aus. Die Mythen sind übertrieben, vllt. findet man im Darkroom ein paar Leute die sich vergnügen, allerdings sind das echt keine Menschen die man auf der Straße ansprechen würde. Der Laden ist für die Betreiber sicherlich eine exzellente Cash-Cow. Überhöhter Eintritt, kaum Kosten bei dem Drecksladen und schön viele Touris die sich bereitwillig abzocken lassen. Die Tür ist reiner Zufall/reine Willkür, da gibt es schlichtweg kein System. read more

Auch wenn das Berghain einer der Berliner Topp-Adressem für exzessives Feiern bis in die Nachmittagsstunden (!) ist, rechtfertigt das nicht die für mich dreistündige Wartezeit und die Willkür der Türsteher. Reingelassen wurden vermehrt Gays aller Couleur: vor allem Lack und Leder, aber auch harmlosere Kaliber- ansonten viele Paradiesvögel wie Drags und solche die es zumindest werden wollen. Die Musik ist z.T. ziemlich viel harter Techno und nicht jedermanns Geschmack. Ein Hingucker ist natürlich die bombastische Location des ehemaligen Kraftwerkes mit Stahlrohren, Betonwänden, sehr hohen Decken und dunklen Ecken, über die ja schon so einiges geschrieben wurde. ^^ Mankos sind hingegen die lange Wartezeit, der teure Eintrittspreis und die Undurchschaubarkeit der Türsteher. read more

Warning: Extremely racist, xenophobic door staff. This "club" will not accept foreigners, people with dark skin, Asian features, English speakers, or anyone that appears to have more money or class than the bouncers (Which I do). If you belong in any of the groups mentioned, save your precious vacation time and spend your money at Tresor, which is the place that Berghain attempts to copycat. Just about everyone being turned away was either black, Asian, or white/non-German. Apparently the city of Berlin allows this establishment to discriminate against people they think are inferior to them. It does not matter how you are dressed, or what theme the place has for the night. English speakers, black people, and Asians are not accepted here. Don't waste your time. read more

Ich kann nichts über den Berghain Club sagen, weil ich und meine Freundinnen aus Paris keine Chance bekommen haben, neben diesem Gorilla an der Tür reinzukommen. Das war sehr unfreundlich und wir waren total entsetzt, weil wir nur positive Bewertungen über den Club gehört haben.. Nicht zu erwähnen, dass wir ganz normal ausgesehen haben.. oder vielleicht ist das das Problem gewesen.. Aber ich sehe jetzt , wir sollten im Voraus schon die allen Bewertungen sehen und das alles kritisch beobachten.. Es ist eigentlich sehr traurig, dass solche Leute, die bestimmt keine Ausbildung haben, die Einschätzung treffen , wer passt zum Club und wer nicht Sowieso, wir kommen niemals wieder dorthin und werden dieses Verhalten weiteverbreitern. read more

I will be very happy when they shut down this racist, utterly nazi germanized shithole. If you are not white, look weird or and not speak german you can forget it. This place is famous exactly for that and people still want to be masochistic. I wanted to try but when I saw those NAZIES called bouncers how they treat people especially those who are slightly brown or any other than white and weird, even yelling and pushed away people, I said to myself NO THANKYOU. I heard rumors this place is closing down... I hope they do... REQUIREMENT TO ENTER: Be weird, look like a junkie or depressed, speak/ be german, be white, look old and dress like Satan's worshipper. Those bouncers definetely love Adolph H. read more
