Friedrichshain
Berghain
This hip favorite is housed in a muscular former power station in a nether zone between West Kreuzberg and the gentrifying Friedrichshain area of the East (you’ll simply never find it). In its mix of straight and gay, this fantastically imposing space recaptures the Weimar aesthetic Berlin has been aching for ever since the Third Reich wiped out much of the city’s eclectic culture. But before you can enter, a guy with three lip rings, some sort of pirate’s vest, and the mien of a young Mozart—the bouncer, in other words—will carefully scrutinize your worth.
What's your favorite thing to do during an airport layover?

Open / CloseA true Berlin experience
This place is hard to find-- wander beyond the train station until you hear the throbbing techno and flashing lights from what looks like a supposedly abandoned warehouse. You don't know Berlin until you wander out of Berghain at 6 am into a morning that is far too bright. The party continues on well into the afternoon if you have the energy. Also, be sure to check out the connected Panorama Bar.
