Overall the club has to be considered below average. The main reason comes from the catastrophic organization from the entrance staff and bouncers which worsen the overall experience dramatically.
Guys are not allowed to wear a belly pocket, however, women can regularly wear purses. Why? Because of the „houserules“, IMO not a valid argument for anything. You are supposed to leave your belly bocket at the wardrobe which is of course not free (1€).
Entrance fees: Although presale ticketed were 11€ the price at door sale was 20€ without wardrobe.
Bouncers: Right from the first second of my attendance in the club bouncers Were unfriendly, unsupportive and in general not easy to deal with. Everyone is getting checked for weapons what is a good thing in general but the way security deals with you is not friendly and really makes you feel like you have to be sorry for just wanting have a good night out. You get the feeling that even one false word will get you kicked out. Even with this security rules they are not selective at all so that everyone gets in - there was a fight on the dance floor. In a techno club. Never had this in my entire life…
Ridiculous Smoking rules: If you are smoking make sure to learn to smoke as quickly as you can. There is a 3x3m outdoor area to if you want to smoke which is so crowded that you almost have the feeling of standing right in the middle of the dance floor. You have to stand in line to get outside because the outdoor space is tiny. In case you just want to take a quick breath: forget it security watches you every second and asks you immediately to go back inside. A friend of mine couldn’t even properly end his cig but had to leave back inside again.
Music: music was good and the speaker system is one of the best. Funktion One, deep house in the beginning and faster techno at around 4am.
Overall Kremlin is a expensive, yet uncomfortable place to go out. The security organization and rules worsen the experience so much I wanted to leave after my first two minutes but stayed because the music was good at least. If you are used to techno culture: come as you are and enjoy your time without Stress good music, you have to show a lot of patience because Kremlin is not offering you much except good music. I have been to a lot of techno clubs and have never experienced a techno night where guests are being cared about like that.
I really hope that Kremlin reads this and overthinks it’s structures.
