Berghain is not only the most famous club in the world,
00:06
it's also the one most difficult to get into.
00:14
So here are all the information
00:17
You need, to actually get in.
00:20
I'm gonna tell you how to behave in the queue,
00:23
how to dress
00:24
and when to go.
00:25
Everyone in Berlin will hate me for this.
00:28
Alright, let's get started.
00:31
First you need to know that Berghain is NOT open on Fridays.
00:37
Only the Panorama Bar is open,
00:40
which is the second smaller floor in Berghain.
00:43
The actual Berghain floor is closed.
00:47
It may open sometimes on a Friday for special events,
00:51
but you need to check the website for that.
00:53
Usually it's closed.
00:54
So if your friends come back from a trip to Berlin
00:58
and say they were in Berghain last Friday,
01:01
They were not.
01:03
Berghain made this arrangement on purpose,
01:06
so tourists have also the possibility to party in "Berghain",
01:12
because the door policy is also not very strict that day.
01:16
People from Berlin
01:18
will usually go Saturdays or Sundays,
01:20
but mostly Sundays, Berghain is really a Sundays club.
01:24
Now, you need to choose wisely WHEN you are going there.
01:29
Because you don't want to go there, when everyone is going.
01:32
Because if you go when everyone is going,
01:35
you will end up spending 4 hours in the queue
01:39
and then in the end may not even get in.
01:43
Berghain opens its doors
01:46
Saturday night, 12 o'clock.
01:48
The line will get long pretty quick,
01:51
being the worst between 1 am and around 6 or 7 am.
01:56
This is the absolute worst time to go there.
01:59
You will need to wait in line for at least three hours.
02:02
So you can either go point 12 when they open
02:05
and be the first in the club and wait.
02:09
It's better than waiting in line
02:12
or you go after breakfast,
02:14
have a breakfast rave.
02:16
And don't worry, it will still be full inside,
02:19
it will be full until Monday afternoon.
02:22
The best option in my opinion is going for a Sunday night.
02:26
On Sunday evenings the queue will start forming again
02:29
around 7 or 8 pm
02:32
and will continue to be there until the early hours.
02:35
What a lot of people from Berlin are doing
02:38
is going Sunday morning or afternoon,
02:41
just to get a stamp,
02:43
so they can return on Sunday evening
02:45
without having to wait in line.
02:49
OK, let's get into what to wear.
02:53
First, here are some examples, what NOT to wear.
02:58
Jeans
02:59
Shirts
03:00
Nice shoes
03:02
Polo shirts
03:03
Shorts
03:05
If you're wearing any of those items,
03:08
you have a 100% chance of not getting in.
03:12
I promise.
03:13
People say that you need to wear black to get in.
03:17
But that's not true,
03:18
it helps,
03:19
but it's not a must.
03:21
I know a guy who got in wearing a hospital robe.
03:25
When it comes to dressing up for Berghain
03:28
there really is only one rule.
03:31
It needs to be unconventional
03:34
Something you won't see on the streets,
03:37
you would never see someone wearing on the street, okay.
03:41
And since Berghain is still a gay club
03:44
Yes, you heard me right.
03:46
It's a gay club.
03:47
So latex and leather is always a good option.
03:52
Or you can wear something industrial
03:54
or goth,
03:56
or cyberpunk.
03:58
You can't go wring with any of that.
04:00
If you wouldn't feel comfortable wearing any of those things,
04:04
Berghain is not for you,
04:06
don't go there.
04:07
It's not a nice little place where you can go party with your besties.
04:11
It's rough.
04:13
You WILL see huge gay men doing thins to each other
04:17
and you WILL be asked on the toilet
04:20
to pee in someones mouth.
04:22
Mark my words.
04:24
If you can't handle that,
04:26
Go to Matrix, please.
04:28
Alright, now that you're all set
04:31
with your sweet leather pants
04:32
heading to Berghain
04:34
there's a few important things to keep in mind
04:37
when you are in the queue.
04:38
And those rules don't only apply to Berghain
04:41
but to all clubs in Berlin that have a stricter door policy.
04:45
Don't talk too loud in the queue.
04:47
And under no circumstances engage in laughter.
04:53
Bouncers here hate loud people.
04:56
When you face the bouncer
04:57
don't look happy.
04:59
No, don't smile at him,
05:02
look like someone run over your dog.
05:06
Berhain is a rough place
05:07
with rough music
05:09
there's no space for happiness.
05:11
The bounce will ask you only one question,
05:15
in German, that is
05:17
how many?
05:18
and there's only three acceptable answers.
05:21
One, two and three
05:24
If you answer four, five or more,
05:27
you won't get in.
05:29
It's an unwritten rule here in Berlin.
05:32
Big groups are not welcome.
05:34
So if you're going with more than 3 people in the club,
05:38
you need to split up in smaller groups
05:41
and try your luck.
05:42
It's just part of Berlin nightlife
05:45
It sucks, yeah,
05:46
but you need to be prepared to abandon half of your group,
05:51
because they may not get in.
05:52
And lastly,
05:54
don't go there drunk
05:55
nobody likes wasted people
05:57
you may drink a little bit, but not too much.
06:00
Well now you're all prepared
06:03
for your next Berghain visit.
06:05
And don't be sad if you don't get in
06:08
it's the hardest club in the world to get into.
06:10
Just try next week again.
