An oversized disused 1953 East Berlin power plant made good by two low-profile gay visionaries (Norbert Thormann and Michael Teufele) in 2004, Berghain is an elegant and sexy cathedral worshipped by Berliners and discerning visitors for its sound system (ultra minimal, techno, tribal, house etc), sexy dark areas and an overall Dionysian atmosphere.

Worth of Minute of Waiting in Line
Great vibe in an amazing space. I was very skeptical after reading the reviews and waiting 45 minutes outside... yet I was Not disappointed once inside. The drinks and shots were average priced and I loved that several bars were removed from the heavy Dub beats so ordering drinks was a pleasure. The bartenders were very efficient and friendly. The club has Different levels, with Different beats, and Different nooks to make new friends or chat with your posse. The Silent Guru working the door choose who got in and who did not ...totally knows what he is doing. Everyone's energy inside was in sync and the groove was one of the best Club Experiences I have ever had. Clearly a World Class Club and the memories of that night will long out live the night itself. Thank You Berghain for closing the Deal- I Think I Love You!
Good time
Huge bar. Can get lost. Lots of pretty people. Not 100% gay as there was a lot of women there. Would have been better without so many women. Dark room is very dark and hard to follow around. The Studio 54 judging entrance was comical, but if they think you are good enough to come in it is worth the wait in line. Not sure i would go back a lot as i prefer mainly men bars, but should try it at least once.
SNAX - worth the trip to Berlin!!!
If you are in Berlin for the leather Ostertreff, GET YOUR TICKETS FOR SNAX NOW! It's no exaggeration that the Berghain is one of the greatest clubs in the world, and for kinksters, partiers, fetish men - this event has no equal. The space is AMAZING - it's Blade Runner with a techno soundtrack - and the sight of thousands of men dancing, playing, and doing things you only thought you'd see in a Titan video will be seared into your brain forever. DO NOT MISS THIS EVENT!!!
