Jacob's Gist: a good club, but I didn't feel like it was the full Berlin experience I was expecting.
=======================
So I'm not a club person. I figured that out very quickly and am firmly on Team Bar. However, it was my birthday and we were in Berlin so why not give it a shot?
We got here at probably 10:30-11 (early for a German club but us Americans need an early start) and there was absolutely no line to get in. In fact, it seemed like they were letting in just about everyone that showed up. Once we were inside, we checked our coats and let the fun begin.
Truth be told, Soda isn't a bad club. We had a lot of fun here and I had a great birthday I'll never forget. Yet looking back, I feel like there was something missing. Everyone talks about how great the Berlin club scene is and how it's one of the best in the world but I didn't get that vibe from Soda. While it isn't the most touristy club I Berlin at all, I still didn't feel like I was with the locals. The music, for example, ranged from Drake to Kanye, but didn't have any of the electronic music that Berlin is known for.
The 80's dance floor was awesome and the hip-hop one was a lot of fun as well, but I just don't feel like I got the Berlin clubbing experience at Soda. If you're only here for a short time, I don't know if I'd recommend Soda. However, if you're here for an extended stay it's a pretty grand club that's worth checking out and spending the night dancing away in.
