Other club owners are also
still thriving. For example, the
eclectic line-up at the Prince
Charles in a Moritzplatz basement
has – just a year after opening
– turned a no-go area into the
coolest square in hip Kreuzberg.
“We have achieved a complete
turnaround,” says promoter Leo
Olofsson. “The Prince Charles now
has a strong position as a breath
of fresh air alongside the more
‘institutionalized’ venues.” He
also believes Berlin’s title of best
clubbing city in Europe is so far
unthreatened. “Berlin is a perfect
storm for clubbing – hopefully
it will stay that way.”
KATERHOLZIG
Born out of the ashes
of Bar25, this converted
soapwarehouse is part
festival, part club and part
grunge-gone-gourmet
restaurant, with parties
that go long into the
weekend. Be sure to
check out the ramshackle
rooftop bar for a cocktail,
then capture the fun in the
vintage photo booth.

HORST KRZBRG
While the venue itself
isn’t much to shout about,
Horst Krzbrg has one of
themost diverse booking
policies in Berlin, meaning
musos can get their fix of
UK bass and dub reggae
alongside the city’s
beloved techno. It even
serves jerk chicken at the
Wax Treatment nights.

SALON ZUR
WILDEN RENATE
Literally translated as
‘Renate, TheWild House’,
this club’s regulars will bear
witness to such a name.
This multi-story venue
hosts some of themost
theatrical and creative
parties in town, with
tech-house DJs. See if you
canmake it to the attic,
which is sometimes used
as a secret VIP room.
