Party

Simon-Dach-Straße

One of Berlin's best-known bar streets, in Friedrichshain. Good place to start the night.

RAW-Gelände

Old railway yard on Revaler Straße with clubs like Cassiopeia (hip hop, concerts).

Matrix

Big mainstream club at Warschauer Brücke. Party every night, €5 for students before midnight.

Weserstraße

Neukölln's bar street. Cheap drinks, lots of choice.

Good to know

  • Berlin clubs have strict doors and usually ban photos inside. Go in small groups and don't take a no personally.
  • Student parties are listed on studentenparty-berlin.de.
