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 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.
Best hard sex place
Kingdom of bareback sex. Gloryhols with lots of hungry mouths, in the toilet queue of boys waiting for your piss, asses just prepared to be fucked everywhere....
