Lokschuppen Berlin (fka. Suicide Circus)

I was spending a week in Berlin as an UK tourist and based on mixed review of Berlin Techno scene I didn't know what to expect from Lokschuppen club. Because I'm a Techno fan, visiting Techno clubs was one of the main points during my visit in Berlin. Lokschuppen was actually the first club I went in to. I was wearing a typical black and little bit edgy clothes and went there on Tuesday night. The bouncer asked me for ID and let me in. The other staff who put a sticker on my phone was very friendly and talk to me straight in English. Inside the club was a little bit quiet with not that many people, but that was a Tuesday night so I wasn't surprised and the main room was close, but despite of that the atmosphere was great. There was enough people and it look like everyone inside was there for a reason. Everyone had a great time to the sounds of Techno music. Despite the fact that I had a great time there too, there was unfortunately one thing which was personally quite bad for me. I'm a non smoker but the club allows smoking inside. Don't know if you know, but the Germany also legalised ganja (Cannabis). The dance room which was open that night was actually an Open Air one, but unfortunately despite of that the air quality was horrible. I needed to move on the outskirts of dance floor to get a little bit of fresh air. So it was very hard to escape the smoke. But in general I had a great time there and I was surrounded by the great crowd. But if you are a non smoker you probably will not stay there for a long.

I had a very disappointing experience. I bought my ticket in advance, but when I arrived at the door, I was still denied entry without any clear explanation. There was no clear statement during the ticket purchase that entry could still be refused even with a valid ticket. On top of that, I strongly advise others not to buy tickets via RA Guide, because there is no clear reimbursement policy if you are denied entry. You will not only lose the money you paid for the ticket, but also any transportation costs — in my case, both ways taxi fares — because on weekdays there are usually no alternative clubs open, meaning you end up going straight back home with nothing. This felt extremely unfair and misleading. I expected much more transparency and responsibility from both the club and the ticket platform.

I experienced a racist situation. On Saturday, August 23, I went with four friends who are all European nationals, except me — I have a green passport. We were a group of five people. At the entrance, there were two bouncers: one, who had tattoos on his face, was kind and let us in. But suddenly, the other bouncer — whom I describe as Black only for identification purposes (please understand, I truly do not mean to be offensive or racist by using this word; it is simply the only way I can describe him to make it clear who was working on August 23) — saw my green passport and told me: “No, you are not going in.” Yet it wasn’t my first time there, since I had already entered before.

Friendly bouncers and coat check. GREAT music! And dancing. They will (begrudgingly) let you pay with a card, but bring cash. Cash is 👑 Only dislike: a few of the others not respecting the “no phone” policy, taking some selfies.

We arrived around four and partied hard until the morning daylight was shining The crowd was young and full of energy I enjoyed three different stages with different genres of music

Different stages with different techno style, Frapcore, hard techno and melodic! We really enjoyed it!! Intense as we love! A bit selective at the entrance but we really recommend this place 🖤

I am very angry it is the first time in Berlin I see a welcome with 3 security are not very professional so I have my ticket I come at 3 am he told me we are not closed and the club closes at 5 am and my friends downstairs it is very unfortunate I strongly advise you not to visit this place thank you all 🤬😡🤬😡🫤

I was in many berlin clubs - this was the worst 😂 The short haired bouncer was really discriminating.. inside, everyone was filming, even with light... not a typical berlin vibe. Only the music was okay. Sorry but you really need to change the bouncers, they dont understand the city

Didn't have any issues getting in on a Thursday night (2 guys, neither being German). The girl asked us at the door if we knew what music was being played (which I have to admit was borderline insulting given that I'm a pretty big techno fan). Maybe she was trying to screen people who responded EDM? This place is pretty small. Basically one room, and a bar to the side. No outdoor space when we went (weather). Also, there's no interesting features inside. The music was a little like Prodigy at times. It was pretty hard, even by Berlin standards. Cover was 8 euros on Thursday. Goes all the way till 9am.

So fun. Love the techno, it flowed through me throughout the night for sure. Ea$y to get into, just be sober enough at the door. Loved the interior into exterior layout of the place. There was a giant tree next to dance floor like cmonnn. First club I went to in Berlin, didn't let me down. Will be back for more times at the suicide techno. We lit. We stay lit.

It's been a while since my last visit at Suicide Circus. However, I still admire their outdoor area and the location is great. If you're new to the Berlin nightlife​ this club is probably a good choice! The cover​ is moderate, interior very crafty, bouncers not necessarily​ friendly but definitely not rude or arrogant(!). The door policy has been very fair and as long as you're not drunk or rude you'll get inside.

Expensive cover and pissed off bartender, small space and the crowd isn't local (mainly internationals). Some street kids grabbed a few girls on their way in, but the bouncers are more than happy to walk you out. Not my favorite.

We made friends with some locals at a new club that was too full to get in. They then took us here and we loved it. The place was unique. The place was like a maze. It was fun to go around to enjoy music, to dance, and to chill in booths. I wish we had a place like this back home.

Smoky and loud and freaking amazing. As tourists, we met plenty of berliners and also other tourists here. We came at 4am on a Saturday morning (it was a holiday weekend, Easter, so maybe emptier than usual) and are probably the three LEAST BERLIN NOOBZ around, and they let us in. It had a great vibe. Not as mainstream as places like Matrix, also not as local as places like Greismule. Had a SUPER FUN time though and was p much sober lol. Could feel my organs vibrate w the music.

Hard to get in without at least a girl to accompany you, so a big no no for guy groups. Other than that , a true electronic sound club with all the colorful bunch of characters you would expect to meet. Great feeling , somewhat dark and good prices .

The worst club I have ever been to. Would leave negative stars if possible. The atmosphere was so creepy and did not feel safe or fun at all. If you like happiness don't go here.

Awesome club to enjoy the deep and hard Berlin techno, the atmosphere and the people are both very cool and relaxed! The fact that this club is open from friday afternoon until sunday, makes it very attractive for the hardcore -techno fans. Overall a great club, when you are in berlin, dont forget to add this one on your list ;-) Min: the toilets are absolutely disgusting

I've been there 1st time. There are inside and outside space.

suicide circus definitely felt more touristy than aboutblank and berghain. the outdoor space was cute, but the inside was pretty bland. the music was good though, really hardhitting techno also suuuper loud bring earplugs

First night out in Berlin and it was insane! Especially at the suicide circus, music was on!! Great people, prices are normal! Till next time, maybe tonight !

You walk in and it screams Berlin! The queue took a while, but it was worth the wait. This was a night to remember. I definitely wouldn't be able to do this every weekend, but I was only in Berlin for a a few days. My friends and I wanted to experience Berlin nightlife. The night we went, the DJ was awesome and the music was some intense electro. You just couldn't stop dancing to the music. Only thing I didn't like was that people were trying to slip my friends and I a drink the whole night... Other than that, my friends and I had a blast dancing the night away. Thanks for the wonderful night in Berlin!

You wanna dance till 10am to the best electro music possible? Then you have to go to Suicide Circus. I love everything about that club. Can't wait for summer to come with the open outside area. Dance while the sun is rising. Tha shit!
