Berlin blog / Nightlife
From relaxed drinks to the hedonism of Berlin’s famed club scene.
Kunstfabrik Schlot
Monday, March 28, 2011
Kunstfabrik Schlot has been the go-to jazz spot in East Berlin since right after the fall of the wall. Hidden in a back courtyard, it's the perfect night out from the Miniloft apartments, just around the corner. Monday and Thursday evenings there's even free entry!
Clärchens Ballhaus: Fall Ball
Tuesday, October 12, 2010
Celebrate the crisp days and glorious colors of fall by dancing the night away in the beloved Clärchens Ballhaus, at the "Großer Herbstball". The ballroom extravaganza rings in the glories of the cold seasons (which are, of course, the best time to dance at Clärchens).

Where once there was only Popkomm, now there is Berlin Music Week, as the music industry consolidates to create a vast 7-day program for music lovers and industry folks.
Soul Explosion
Wednesday, August 25, 2010
Berlin's beloved minimal techno is great and all, but it can be a bit, well, soulless. If you're feeling the urge to move your hips and really get down and dance, to actual songs, Soul Explosion is the answer: raw, hard funk from obscure original singles, accompanied by video projections with a psychedelic mix of dance scenes and Blaxploitation films.
Monbijoupark

Take advantage of Berlin's beautiful "Weiße Nächte" (short northern summer nights - literally white nights) in the lovely Monbijoupark, perched on the banks of the Spree River across from the handsome Bode Museum.
Roter + Grüner Salons
Tuesday, March 30, 2010

Wednesday, January 7, 2009
After sampling the wares of the Turkish Market, warm up with a drink at Ankerklause, a quirky, hip nautical-themed bar perched on the bridge over the canal.
