Multilayerladen

There are lots of expensive, big name clubs in Berlin that play host to big name DJs who I know nothing about. I feel reticent about laying down up to 14€ to gain entry to these venerated techno temples.

Multilayerladen has the look of an office, with disco balls hang from the false ceiling. It's shabby and, on the night we went, packed full of people. Entry was free and the music kept everyone dancing till the not-so-small hours.

Office Chic

The night we went was the 'Miniclub', and it really did have a relaxed, house-party feel to it. You can see their upcoming events on the slightly confusing (and German) website.

U-Bahn: Kottbusser Tor (U8, U1/2). Head towards Oranienstr. from the station, and before you go under that housing estate turn right. The club is opposite a large climbing frame (perfect spot for a between-dance breath of fresh air).
