The essentials

How the door works

The club chooses its guests at the entrance, and a large share of the queue is turned away. No published rule details the criteria: there is no official dress code and no guaranteed way in. What is observed: clubs welcome small, calm, respectful, sober groups who are there for the music. Do not film in the queue and do not argue with the decision. Guides say coming on Sunday morning improves your chances, but that is an impression, not a rule.

Rules inside

  • No photos or videos, inside or in the queue.
  • Drugs are illegal in Germany: if you feel unwell, ask staff for help rather than leaving.
  • Respect for consent and other guests is required; an expulsion is final.

If you are refused: alternatives

Tresor, Sisyphos, About Blank and Wilde Renate each have their own crowd, a less famous door and long weekend hours. General rules are in club door rules in Berlin and the night guide in Berlin at night. For a guided night with no door, a pub crawl such as the Berlin pub crawl is an option. To sleep in Friedrichshain, see hotels in Friedrichshain.

What is uncertain

The exact price and hours of each night change; the figures come from guides, not from the club's site. Check before you queue.
