Verified clubs and nights
SO36 15/100
Oranienstraße, Kreuzberg. Historic punk/queer venue — Gayhane night is legendary. Punk, alternative, queer, very mixed ages, all welcome.
Berghain 85/100
Queer roots, inclusive — but the strictest door in Berlin overall. Worth knowing if you're picking based on ease of entry.
KitKat Saturday 62/100
Sex-positive, queer inclusive, nudity allowed, strict consent culture. Fetish/latex/leather dress code mandatory.
