Our Guide To Berlin Nightlife: Where To Drink During The Berlinale International Film Festival

Berlin Clublife: 110% Unchecked Hedonism

If Berlin and the Big Apple were in a fist fight over the accolade “the city that never sleeps,” Berlin would win without so much of a blink. Famous for embracing the offbeat and alternative lifestyles, where else in the world would you find clubs that you can enter Friday and not exit until Monday? The fall of the Berlin Wall awakened a raging nightclub scene that pounds perpetually, day in day out, blaring electro and house music in multi-level waterfront warehouses, penthouse clubs with panoramic views, and open-air discos under starlit skies. Whether you're into the dapper velvet rope establishments or more casual spots to chill with Berlin's famous alternative youth, Berlin’s got a club to suit your dance tempo and drink palette! Since most of the best Berlin clubs are underground (quite literally) and almost impossible to locate, this New-York-City-slicker-turned-Berliner is here to walk you through the backdoor to Berlin’s wildest nightclubs.
