Working out the dates…

Nightlife & bars

Bar streets, rooftops, pubs and late spots, with closing times and the usual traps.

Berlin has no legal closing time for bars and clubs: many run all night, especially on weekends, and famous clubs (Berghain and others) can stay open from Saturday night into Monday morning. Quieter neighbourhood bars close around 01:00–03:00 by custom, not by law.

  • Berghain

    LateNo bookingIndoor

    A techno club in a former power station, famous for weekend-long parties and a strict, unpredictable door; photos are banned inside and phone cameras get stickered.

    Price
    €20–35 entry (cash may be needed at the door) (≈ US$25–45)

    Getting there
    S-Bahn to Ostbahnhof, then a 10-minute walk north-east; many arrive by taxi or ride-hailing.
    Dress and etiquette
    Dark, low-key clothing; groups of loud tourists tend to be refused.

    Keep an eye on your drink and belongings in the dark, crowded rooms; never accept pills or powders from strangers.
