Schwuz

I went there for their friday night "Peaches & Cream" event. I am not particularly into Pop/RnB/70's/80's music when it comes to dance clubs. I just went there to show my friend around - knowing that he totally is into that kind of music. To my surprise I have to say, though, I quite enjoyed it. At the beginning (around 1am) we were disappointed how empty it was. We were about to head back home, when around 2am we noticed that more and more people were coming. That's when the real party started. All 3 floors were packed and people were having a good time. In the end it was a surprisingly good night out. I only give it 4 stars just because I preferred GMF. But then again, both places don't really compete as "Peaches & Cream" is on friday nights, whereas GMF is on sundays.

This is the one of the oldest dance clubs in Berlin, a classic, founded in 1971 as an gay centre, and this is where the name comes from, schwules zentrum (gay centre)=schwuz. It was rather alternative in the 70ties and not commercial in the beginning , but basically became a normal danceclub in the last years. You still feel the alternative atmosphere somehow. You enter through the Cafe Melitta Sundstroem. The crowd is mostly younger and the music varies to different theme parties, like London Calling, bump or Madonna Mania.
