How to get into Berghain according to party professionals
Lab.oratory (at Berghain)
97% love it
Quintessential space for the sexually adventurous
The ever popular and sweaty crotch of former East Berlin industrial power-station-turned-club-extraordinaire the Berghain [see entry], the Lab.oratory (aka the Lab) is an exquisitely detailed sex club and bar staging unhinged themed fetish nights catering to those turned on by rubber, leather, athletic gear, suit & tie, naked flesh and/or just about every bodily function going.
Open Thursday to Saturday nights, plus Sunday afternoons, this male-only labyrinthine lair entertains a deserved and intense cult following, with heaving Fridays (no dress code, 2-4-1 drinks policy) now bordering on the mainstream. The doors shut to arrivals at 11 pm on Thursday, at midnight on Friday and Saturday, and at 6 pm on Sunday, so plan accordingly.
Your Lab-stamped hand will afford you half-price Berghain entry via the guest list queue. Rivals New York's Mineshaft (1976–85) and London's Cellar (1981–85) as all-time gay fetish sex space. Also written as 'Lab.Oratory'. S-Bahn: Ostbahnhof.

open to everyone sexy, intelligent or sweet (the rest: go to tom´s bar-:-))
I go lab since it opened, so listen: you get in however you dress but inside it´s so warm that you will want to take off most of your clothes anyway. bring lube, there are only 3 shared containers in distant corners, never near when you need it ze locals find ruthless barebacking boring as it spreads hep c (remember ur last interferon treatment?) in the sex community. don´t hang 2 long with your tourist mates as u will not get a piece of the action nor connect 2 what´s going on. what´s going on is everything you imagine & a lot more. if you don´t like what you see shut it, this is not your home turf and you are in berlin because you want to experience berlin style. just let go & relax, even the two handful of sexiest men there are only human (unless they are really high on steroids or g). if your not a fatty, retard, superdumb, pathologically shy or a blind catholic you will get laid. if not it really is your own fault be cute, be s/m, be whatever, but give it all you are. enjoy your stay. -
An Experience
I've been here a few times now over the course of 2 years, Only on Fridays. Good to get here early when they open so you're not waiting in line. The place fills up quickly. And if you're not there by midnight, you're not getting in. No matter how much you plead. The sexual energy is intense. No room for shyness. Very industrial, good music, great play areas. All types here, all ages, and everyone ready to play...hard. 2-4-1 on Fridays. Staff is great and friendly except for one older bartender at the main bar that seemed to play favorites with German speaking customers and making English speakers wait and then when paying my tab seems to bully me into a bigger tip every time I visited. Other bartenders were really nice as were the clothes check guys. Definitely something you have to do when you're in Berlin because you'll never forget it. -
Don't go ........
Large night club in a huge old disused building. Door policy is terrible. Half the people are turned away after waiting in 30 min queue on what seems like a random process old and young alike. Waiting in the queue (dare I say it ) felt just like waiting to be selected for work or not. Never experienced such a bad non inclusive approach. This is definitely not a one fits all approach which is what gay venues should be like and pride theme selves on. Avoid like the plague. This is place is discriminatory totally against the essence of an open diverse approach which is so sad. -

Awesome
This is the best place. There theme nights are great. Always something and someone for everyone. The men are great looking and sexy. Not much of an attitude. Have to pay attention to the hours as they close doors as certain times. But very much worth the visit. Had an amazing time with a lot of hot guys there. Sports night was a good one. -
The best sex club
I went there on Friday night. Lab-Oratory is the best sex club ever. I believe, there were about 400 guys, mostly young, fit, hot and ready to have sex all night. Germans fuck like insatiable sex machine. I have the best time of my ife, beautiful, hard rock cocks every where, of course, play safe is your own decision. There were easy access to condoms and lube. The place is hard to find, It is about 10 minutes walk from the U1 Warschauer Str station. Very friendly staff at the door and the barthenders are hot and very nice. Remember, it is a sex club. It is very clean when they open the door at 10 pm but after everybody having sex all night, don't expect it to be clean all night. If you are a princess gay guy, this is not the place for you.
