Watergate

I had a good time. Wonderful location, decent selection of spirits and a mellow crowd. Cash only, 25€ entry. Avoid coat check if you can as line can be up to a 40 min. wait time for both drop off and pick up. Smoking available on the outside/water deck. There are two interior levels and an outside landing to this club. Staff are as expected for a club so… adjust your expectations to meet the scene not the other way around.

Just came back from Miss Monique gig! I understand the negative reviews here because most of the stags were turned around! It’s mostly visited by tourists i believe because vibe here was kind of missing. People were not respecting each other space and shirtless guys were desperately seeking for single girls😅(definitely not here for the music). Still the location and two dance floors meet the hype. Jacket store is 2€ and Bier is 4.5(only cash). My suggestion to my stag brothers: please try to get in with a girl or carry the vibe and personality 🙌🏼 else the entry chances are less even if you have the tickets. PS: two guys were still making the video despite no camera policy. Please respect the rules.. cheers!

Not very exclusive and pretty touristy. Not a huge fan of the venue, it’s def not my fav club in the city, but they sometimes invite big names, which was the only reason I went. Don’t expect the main act to start playing before 2-3am, or maybe even later. It can get uncomfortably crowded later in the night. I am not aware of any dresscode, it’s more like face and vibe check.

Nice and easy place if you are looking for something less underground. Cool outdoor area on a pontoon to recharge with the Oberbaumbrücke and the Molecule men in the background. A bit more touristy with easier door policy.

A bit overcrowded and very hot inside ( like anywhere in Berlin). This year it is their 20th anniversary so to celebrate it, they are inviting really great DJs, some are playing live which is sooooo amazing! Reasonable prices. Only cash. No dresscode. Many tourists. Staff is pretty friendly. But barmen are definitely overwhelmed and tired. The view is so beautiful, especially in summer.

very nice club if you come with a partner (couple group ) there is no problem to enter ,as matter of fact they dont wellcome 3 or 4 boy groups, its also good for the other people who come to have fun with partner all you need is cash you can find cigarettes inside also people having fun and chat over the sea

This club shines with its location and the vibe its getting from it. Its located directly at the river near the Oberbaum Bridge and even has a floating outdoor deck in the summer. Seeing the sun rise in the morning after a night of clubbing is one of the most beautiful things ever. And everything around also meets great standards. The soundsystem is top notch (db audio), the lighting is fantastic and the staff is friendly. If your 21+ and you know who is playing you shouldnt have a hard time entering unlike other places in berlin. Also the line-ups are great so its worth to see who is on the decks. Prices are a bit hight but considering what you are getting I am okay with that. Definitly recommend clubbing here - but stay till the sunrise, otherwise you will miss the best part.

I'm grateful for this club. As a 20 years old solo male I didn't have any problem to get inside. Just a few questions asked and calmly I answered them. Then I got inside and had a beautiful time! Staff is very friendly. Music was superb. Early in the morning vibes are amazing.

Sad that Watergate closed because it was a great club with a very low-key vibe. Loved chilling in the outdoor area on the water with the music vibrating all around. Nonchalant Berlin vibes that are fading away, it seems. Don't be shocked that Berlin clubs turn people away. They are just looking to maintain their vibe. Dress stylish and don't be obnoxious.

This place is a vibe. Exactly what I expected out of a night at a Berlin club. So solid dubstep that went until 5am, when the sun came up. Had a blast.

I was all excited to go to the He, She, They event in Berlin. He, She, They's statement is ""A place without prejudice for people to be people" I have been to the He, She, They events in London and Bristol and had a smashing time and felt very inclusive. I arrived right before opening at the Watergate Club and the bouncer asked if I was alone. I said yes. Then they told me to go down the stairs and leave. I went to Berlin just got the He, She, They event and it was very sad they denied me entry. It's hard enough to get dressed and go out alone and then to be rejected just because you are alone. I know it's a nightclub business but if He, She , They really want to stick to their principles they should find a new more inclusive venue in Berlin or get the club to change its policies. I realize this stuff happens all the time in Berlin , often for gender ratios. I think this is discriminatory and if Berlin wants to be a true global city they should crack down on this mean behavior.

With Berghain being closed and only spending a few days in Berlin, nightlife had to be done to complete an expansive 48 hours of art and culture. Lucky for us, Watergate was a five minute walk from our hotel and the perfect compromise. They're open from midnight to 10am (on a Tuesday), and wow--these people know how to party. My group and I got there around 1am and were easily the first guests in attendance. The dance floor didn't start filling up until 4:00am, and my guess is that patrons really did party until closing time, well after most corporate employees have been in their offices for two hours. It's wild. Watergate is right on the water, and it's nice to be able to escape the club for an outdoor hang on the patio that abuts the riverbank. Obviously this is a feature that works in the summer, not so much when winter sets in. Overall, a very fun way to break my own social norms and experience life the way Berliners do.

Great sound, amazing line up, friendly bouncers (I know it's crazy) und no picture policy. If you're a fan of shuffle you will meet many talented dancers here. I didn't feel very comfortable because the overall crowd was not as friendly and engaging as I know from other clubs. People push you aside instead of asking you to step aside. Many people just seem to be here for the sake of being seen, frat boys getting drunk and acting poorly. It's getting better after 4:00 AM though. Not my favourite club but the big window front and the splendid view at the spree at sunrise is really something. I might come back if a dj i like is playing but otherwise I don't mind missing out.

Came on a Saturday night. Not sure if this was just bad luck, but wasn't really the biggest fan of this place. The music wasn't as good as I'd heard in the other Berlin places. Also the club itself wasn't that special... Pretty similar to a club you'd get in any big city (although I loved the lights on the ceiling of the main floor). Didn't really feel like a cool Berlin place. They don't seem to be very strict at the door. The club was essentially full of tourists. Lots of girls in dresses and heels (which is quite inappropriate for this kind of joint). I'd say if you can only pick a few clubs to visit in Berlin, skip this place. We ended up leaving around 4ish and heading to Berghain for a much better experience.

I'm not exaggerating, do not come here. Waited in line from 1am, finally got to the front around 3:30am where the crowd pushed me so hard the steel barrier guard literally went into my vagina. Got to the door after waiting some more where the person who was running the door took one look at my friend and I and said "not tonight." Great night in Berlin. Will never ever ever come here ever again.

I was treated so badly by the girls at the front that let you in. They rolled their eyes and swore at me for asking where the trash was. Half of my friends were turned away for no reason (we think because they were men and American?) Then it was a 15 euro cover for a mostly empty club with weird creepy old men. We were allowed to take any pictures even of ourselves. One of the worst experiences of my life. I couldn't believe the bias they had against us simply because we were tourists

If you love techno and an electric crowd this is the place for you! Once the queue got moving we only waited for 30 minutes. The bouncers were all super polite and my friend and I had no problems getting in. Once in everyone was nice and the DJ was amazing.

This place was fun. I enjoyed the location, right on the water with a beautiful view. This is very close to the East Side Gallery and not far from Kreuzberg which are two fun areas to hang out in. There is a cover, $15 must be paid in cash. They usually play house/techno which I'm not a big fan of because it sounds like the music never ends. The mixed drinks are about 8€ each while beer and wine is slightly less. They have plenty of individual bathrooms so you don't have to wait in long lines.

Had an amazing night here! The most unique thing about this club is probably being able to watch and dance to the sunset, and the fact that the floating pier on the river gives you a chance to cool down and get some actual fresh air. The curtains are closed before the sun rises on the top floor - the main dance floor (has a pretty cool LED display that runs across the ceiling), but you can watch it from downstairs or the pier. The club has panorama windows facing the river - nice nightimte view. Withdrew one star because the lack of ventilation was kind of out of hand inside - incredibly hot and very stuffy - I imagine it would be hard to take for more than one hour if you're sober. When queuing you should know what kind of party is on and who the DJs are - the bouncers will ask you if they're not sure about you. Be calm in the queue and go in pairs rather than big groups for a higher chance of entry. Clothing was pretty casual. Lots of drugs. Hardly any locals, but still a good crowd. A few creepers towards 6am, but most people were there for the music and wanted to dance. The sinks upstairs are nice and open, so better to drink water from there than to pay for it at the bars.

I came here specifically to see a Berlin-based techno DJ duo that I've been fans of for a couple years. They haven't toured in Los Angeles in that time, and with my one spare Saturday night in Berlin I was lucky that they were the headliner. That right there made it a 5-star experience for me, but on another night, with an unfamiliar or unappealing DJ, I could easily have come away with a different impression. We arrived at 3am (jet lag for us, just another Saturday night for Berlin) and the line was nearly 40 people long. We had the good fortune to be standing in front of some really cool people from the UK, which helped pass the hour or so that we waited. Once inside, we had just enough time to check our coats and get a round of drinks before the DJs I'd been waiting to see took the upstairs stage - perfect timing! They were fantastic, the sound system was bumping, and people were totally vibing to the music. The crowd had what I call a slight "douche factor" to it, but coming from Los Angeles it was actually very manageable. Yes, there were the usual sights on the floor - the random people exchanging goods, that one couple constantly making out, and the beefy dudes in perpetual hunt mode. But the amazing music, the decent drinks (if a bit pricey) and good company made it all a great experience. I was dancing my heart out, and in that cigarette-scented sweatbox I had the time of my life. We left at 7am and there were just as many people coming as going - the patio probably had 30 to 40 people on it, enjoying the first sun of the day. Berlin knows how to party, and for one night I got to be a part of it. 5 stars, without question.

I had heard a lot about this club and was really looking forward to a night out here, but man was I disappointed with my experience. After waiting in line for 30 minutes and sweating it out the whole time to see if we'd get in, by a stroke everyone I'm with gets by the bouncers unscathed. However, that was the end of our luck. When we got downstairs, we see that music is playing but most people are just standing around conversing at the bar, outside on the dock, or while standing on the dancefloor. That's all fun and nice, but the status quo remained the same until about 3am, which confused me, as I'm used to people being more into, you know, actually DANCING, when they come out to clubs. On the other hand, the location next to the water most certainly is something that makes this club unique, as the view from the dock area is terrific. When we were sitting on the dock for awhile waiting for the dance-floor to heat up a little bit, I absolutely loved the atmosphere outside, especially on a warm summer night. However, despite the picturesque setting, I kept finding more and more things about Watergate that I just wasn't a fan of as well. In the end, we actually ended up going home early (around 4am), just because we weren't having fun, and things certainly weren't improving. Main drawbacks: -Club gets ridiculously stuffy from a combination of cigarette smoke and overcrowding (club fills up early) -People aren't the best or the friendliest (Very hipster, entitled, standoffish) -Extremely dim/minimalist lighting (darkest club I've ever been to) -Club is very small (gets packed easily, little room to dance) -No A/C (did I mention it's hot as hell in there) -Expensive drinks (9 euro whiskey drinks) -Music is hit or miss, unless you're going on a night with a well-known DJ -Barely anyone danced!! If you want to go to Watergate just to go to a "big-name" club, be my guest. However, if you're just looking for a fun night out in Berlin, I'd highly suggest exploring any other options you may have.

Watergate is probably the second most well known club in Berlin after Berghain. Don't expect to get in if you are under 21 or in a big group. People say don't dress up, and while that might be true to a degree, I found the club to be open to a vast array of different styles and personalities. Inside, it's quite apparent where the club gets its hype. It's extravagant and beautifully designed, with two dance floors and a wonderful outdoor patio that sprawls over the Spree, creating a blissful experience on warm summer nights. So here comes the bad news. Saying all that, the club is simply not THAT much fun for what you're paying... The main dance floor, while nicely designed with an awesome LED display that covers the entire ceiling, is really hot and crowded which leads to a semi uncomfortable atmosphere where people don't let loose. Plus, the touristy crowd on weekends is very hit or miss, even when the DJs spinning are world class. I'm stuck between a 3 and a 4 but I'll go with a 4 because the outdoor patio is very unique and the club has a beautiful design. However, I did end up spending most of the night on the patio, and despite what I mentioned, I didn't spend 15 euros (+ more for the expensive drinks) to sit outside and have a smoke when I could do that at any of the other fabulous and cheaper outdoor venues in berlin. It's most definitely worth seeing, but I probably wouldn't frequent this spot.

Cool spot. Door's not too tough, and the scene is authentic. Not pretentious, and definitely a great first-stop on a foray into the club scene. Plenty of room, more intimate with the music than visual production, and right on the water. Start here to ease in.

Of all the clubs I've visited in Berlin, Watergate tops the list! The club has two floors and a beautiful outdoor deck. The drinks are fairly priced and the music is always good. The only drawback is that the club gets super stuffy and smoky (but what club in Berlin doesn't, right?). Dress as casual as possible, otherwise, don't even think about getting in. I'm talkin' hoodie, jeans, and sneakers.

Eh. I had been expecting better based on the hype around this place. I came with a friend on Halloween weekend, and the line was long and slow (waited around 2 hours to get to the front of the line), with hopeful revelers from all over (heard lots of Italian, German, English, French). The door policy seems to be a bit arbitrary--my friend and I got in without a problem, but the group behind us was turned away. It seemed they were intent on letting in mostly women, but inside, the club was mostly men...?! I think I came on a bad night, because hardly anyone was dancing--people were sullenly smoking and standing against the wall, and we left not too long after we entered. The view of the river Spree was definitely fantastic, though.

Had an amazing time at Watergate. Quality DJs (I went for Diynamic label night), great sound, simple/minimalistic interior, nice outdoor patio. It's not as big as I imagined it to be, but it makes for a more intimate interaction with the DJ. I also really enjoyed the crowd - attractive people, no idiots, everyone was into the music. It's not as wild as Berghain, but an excellent club nontheless. The only negative is there is NO air conditioning in any of the clubs in Berlin, so if you are going in July/August expect to be very sweaty.

The sound system is perfect . Atmosphere is modern and nice. The music and people were nice, but in the end there is no room to dance and to move about so everyone is just stuck in a tiny place rocking back and forth to the music. It's really really Tiny place compared to how many people they let in. Will definitely go here again for the atmosphere and music but if I want to dance I'll go somewhere else.

I was in Berlin with a couple of friends for new years and we decided to check out one of the famous clubs of the city. A lot of people talked about water gate so we decided to go on a Saturday night. We arrived around 11:45pm (so we avoid the line later in the night). the place opened at around 00:15am so we waited for a bit in the cold, but at least we got in relatively quickly. We stayed until 5:00am or so. It took a couple of hours for the place to fill up. The music was pretty good, but the main DJ started at around 4am, so I guess it's better to get there later in the night to enjoy the better music. It also has 2 floors, and initially they only open the lower level, so we didn't realize there was a second level until much later in the night. If you like the modern techno beats, the place is pretty fun. The drinks were good, and people were dancing by the DJ, plus it has some space on the side to sit down and take a break. The best thing about Watergate is the location and the view. It's on the water and the view of the river is beautiful. I had a fun time and I'd recommend it, but if there had been a super long line outside I don't think it would have been worth it.

June 2012, traipsing through Berlin with some new friends from the Hostel, we decided on going to Watergate. We were dressed casual (guys were wearing t shirts, jeans, and sneakers/combat boots), I was wearing a tank, jeans and flat sandals. We were also DRENCHED as it poured like crazy that night, regardless we walked up around 2/3am and were let in no problem (not much of a line either.) Drinks were decent and not the cheapest. But sound system was amazing. Good mix of locals and tourists that night. Dont try to take photos of the place, you'll get some guy waving in front of your phone telling you "NO/Nein". Oops. It has a bar behind the central dancefloor and bench seating on the periphery. Good set up. Bathrooms were a mess though. Crazy line waiting for people do their business (whatever it may be) in the bathrooms. Music was on point. Good mix. I was really enjoying myself (and finally dry) when I realized it was 7am and the curtains were blocking out the sunlight. also, they stopped the music and shutdown the club because someone passed away during that time (be responsible when doing drugs kiddos.) Recommend the place, obviously they have an ethical standard by shutting down the club when that sad incident happen. Stay safe and party on people!

For my money the best club in berlin (yes, including Berghain) - nothing beats the view of dawn over the river against the silhouette of the Oberbaumbrucke. It's home turf for Berlin's BPitch minimal crew: Ellen Allien, Sascha Funcke, etc, who play regularly in the upstairs room featuring a pounding soundsystem and lighting grid which runs the full length of the room and down the wall behind the DJs. Ground floor (with the river view) is usually less crowded and generally hosts a 'lighter' house sound, if the upper floor gets a bit much. Serious queue - opens at midnight but expect up to an hour wait on nights with a big lineup.

"In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove. And from this groove came the groove of all grooves. And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared, "Let there be HOUSE!" and house music was born." -- Rhythm control (My house) If those lyriccs means something to you, then this is definitely a club for you. All house and deep house; nothing more. So good! Been here twice and both times loved the atmosphere and the fact that I'm surrounded by others that are truly into house music. Be aware of a 15 euro cover but its pretty justified given how good it is. There's two floors with the lower having the view of the Spree. There's nothing quite like dancing all night and then watching the sun rise still dancing and going strong till midday the next day.

Watergate is known as one of the best clubs in the world. I shy away from that title, but I will admit that the club is consistently full of people and has respected DJs that are playing regularly. Most of the people there are just there because of Watergate's reputation and the bouncers are generally pretty lenient on who they let in. Just be sure to speak German, to have your 21+ ID on hand and to know which DJs are playing that night. Besides that expect a good night at the club, but don't expect anything amazing unless your favourite DJ is playing.

The second time I went to Watergate, I was standing in line and I struck up a conversation with two Swedish travelers. I was talking about how much I liked the place and the guy said, "They turned me away earlier, maybe because I was too drunk." I told him it was because he was dressed to fancy. He seemed shocked and sure enough, we get to the front and the girl said, "I'm sorry, maybe you would like another bar." I really appreciated that. I live in a city where you get turned away similar clubs for not having suit jackets and dress shoes. The whole bar is outstanding. The music is always really good and the crowd equally as fun. It's where you go to dance. I brought a few new people here the last time I was in Berlin and I would reccomend it to anyone, especially if you want to avoid a touristy club spot.

Went here while on spring break 2011. I know I am WAY overdue for a review of my abroad frequents, and so I shall continue with this. I forget what I wore that night, but obviously I was let in. Perhaps because I am American? Perhaps I was wearing yoga pants? Who knows! We did have an issue with getting in, however. My friend was told she wouldn't be let in unless she showed her passport. That kind of freaked us out, but she had a photocopy of it at our hostel, so she brought that and was let in. THankfully my license was good enough for the scary bouncers. The space was gorgeous. I loved being on the river. The lights were magical. The drinks were perfect, and the crowd was the right amount of chill and hyped up. I wasn't crazy about the music (trance) .. I was expecting the DJ to play more house music, but I dealt just fine. If I am in the area again, I would maybe give it another go.

Good for going there and having a blast, or just chilling, whatever you want. As many other techno/house places in Berlin, Watergate doesn`t differ that much. Good location (right on Spree), close to S/U-Bahn and many other places for partying. Prices are standard for such a place.

Came here for the same party two years in a row, Ricardo Villalobos, which I honestly can't say I am the biggest fan of but we came for a day time refresher from the normal industrial dark factory techno we had been banging out too all night. First off the vibe was way off at about 1pm, just looked like a bunch of fried out people refusing to go home, the energy was DEAD. No life what so ever. I really like the club room upstairs rather than the "water room" and the only reason I am giving it three stars rather than two. I know a lot of people use this place as a Berghain backup, but I suggest other clubs, there are tons. This club is about as un Berlin as it gets IMO.

Amazing Djs. 2 floors. Out door patio on the river. Good service nice vibe. People are much more polite here then in USA clubs. Loved the ceiling lights

Was visiting Berlin for the first time on November 2018 for a weekend all the way from New York. Me and my friend waited an hour in line out the cold. Then finally make to the bouncer and at first sight he said NOT TONIGHT. So bad to be rejected without any reason. My friend and I were wearing boots, shirts and jacket. So wasn't because how we were dressed. Definitely not coming back to this place again.

One of my favourite clubs in the world Great music with international cutting edge underground DJs Ultra slick finish The flows of people across the rooms seem to have been engineered - never any queuing, never uncomfortable The decking out on the river provides great views When the black outs from the full length windows are removed, it gives more great views from the dancefloor itself Oh yes, and the light show in the main room is next level ;)

One of the best clubs in Berlin. The Club is right on the bank of the river Spree underneath the Oberbaumbrueke bridge in trendy Kreuzberg, so the location could not be better. Inside, expect 2 floors - modern, lounge-style rooms with sophisticated lighting. A relaxed, friendly and up for it crowd. Good atmosphere on the dance floor. The great thing is that the lower room is set directly on the water level, creating the impression that you're on a boat. Plus, there is a fantastic outdoor terrace built right on the water - perfect in summer. Watergate hosts some of the top Berlin djs like Konrad Black, Ellen Allien, Sasha Funke, Tiefschwarz and MANDY. They also regularly feature foreign djs, like Andrew Weatherall or Jamie Jones. On the weekdays, the club plays host to avant garde live artists and multimedia. So, if you like a quality clubbing experience - great sounds from cutting edge djs, set in a special location with a relaxed crowd, then Watergate is your place.

Overall good experience. There's only so much you can dance to electronic music without a changing beat and no words. The view is amazing and breathtaking. One of the downsides was that there were way more guys than girls there. Penis fest! We saw a bunch of people (mainly groups) get rejected from the entrance, we had no problem. I would try it on the weekend. Maybe it's better.

Superb club! Located next to the river Spree it has an awesome view and is known for its great vibe. The public is easy/out going. Prices are high but you get what you pay for. Great residential DJ's as well. If the bouncers won't let you in I would recommand trying Suicide Circus located near S-Bahnhof Warschauer Strasse (5 minute walk).

After waiting in line for an hour the staff asked us to show them our ID's. YES they were U.S. IDs and NO we didn't speak German. The door guy simply said "not tonight" and told us to turn around and leave. While talking to other tourists around town I've heard similar stories from them. Many were asking us where to go on a weekend night since a few clubs exercise these practices.

No upstairs for me on the weeknight I went, but dayum, did they still have some solid music, a great view, and the smoking patio smack dab on the Spree! I detest writing reviews of establishments I haven't had the full experience of (so why do I do it constantly?) but I had a really good time at Watergate. At 1:30 the line was a little bit much, although hopefully that bespeaks of the good times to be had inside. Didn't even think the drinks were that expensive - well, I cleverly had to buy the drinks and mixer separately, which saved quite a few Euro. Good times at Watergate.

The idea is simple.....a top floor with crazy loud music, was drum n bass when i was there, and a bottom floor with an amazing view over the spree river, nice house music and many lounge sofas.

This club is awful. They don't let in people who are wearing button-down shirts or sweaters. T-shirts only. Oh, but they don't tell you that until you get to the front of the line. Total BS.

This is one of the best clubs in Berlin and that means in Europe. Its location is dramatically stunning; right on the water with a little space outside for smoking people. There is something else that I like very much. It is not too big. The dance floor is of a reasonable size and the technicolor lighting installation which spans the roof makes you feel like you're on board of an intergalactic spaceship. Every week big names of minimal techno are playing here. The dress code is simple. No tie, no shirt. Be casual! Wear a t-shirt and trainers and the face control should let you in. As usual if you look like it's your first time and if you prefer pop music, avoid this place! If minimal is your thing, you're at the right place!

You queue here for 45 minutes only to get to the front and be told guys aren't allowed in despite being a group of 2 guys and 4 girls. Pretentious rubbish that has no place in this century. Avoid like the plague.

Yaaassssss. Best club to see a Berlin sunrise with some Deep House magic. And umm pancakes in kruzberg after. Y'all already know what it is!!!

Watergate is a very hip place with fancy interior design. Great sound system as well. The music was good, but maybe a little bit too loungy according to my taste. I didn't understand why some of the people were there, it felt like their goal for the evening was to hook up with someone rather than enjoying the music.

Security weren't very nice guys. After giving me a good grope I was told not to take photos inside ( maybe trying to hide the fact this place sucks by not having any documentation ) they didn't find my drugs tho, lol nah jk. Drinks are expensive. Don't get a tequila sunrise, they don't make it right. Bar staff were rude. Ask for a glass of water not a bottle and one of the barman got sooky and looked like he might cry. I laughed at him and told him to eat a my poo poos. Music was cool for like, the first nothing. Lame dj. One guy complimented my hat. Nice guy. Maybe come here for shits and gigs if you have disposable money. Thomas Thomas out.

Next to Berghain I think this is Berlins most famous club. We came here after dancing at Suicide Circus all night. We got in right away since it was 7am already but the upstairs dacefloor shut down a bit after. The music wasnt my favourite electro music but my friend and my sweet companion both looooved the music. Its a nice thing to dance on the water. I don't really like the attitude of most of the people that go there. Im not gonna go again but I think as someone that is a real Berliner you gotta go at least once in your life.

Set on the riverside in the east part of town, the Watergate's most genius feature is the all-glass frontage giving you the clubbing equivalent of a "infinite pool", except it's a dancefloor. There's a terrace area on the water too, like a jetty (closed in freezing December when I went), and 2 floors of awesome music inside. Drinks are cheap for a place as cool as this (around 2 euros), but you might struggle to in unless you have a few girls with you. We told some story about having come all the way from England etc etc and they laughed and let us in. Inside, it's dark. The only lighting is this soft pulsating roof strip like nothing I've seen before really - hypnotic. Open till 0800... so get in late if you wanna last the night...

This is the best dance club I have ever been to and I have been to the city in Cancun and Coco Bongo and some big ones in Sydney. So many different rooms with different music and tons of hot women. I was lucky and was with a pub crawl so we were able to jump the line and got in without cover cause it was included in the pub crawl. Drinks were reasonably priced and there are lots of Donair stands outside the club for late night munchies.

Good location, next to s bahn metro station, nice view, if a bit too much light inside, good music, friendly djs, a cozy club with friendly environment, like most of berlin its hard techno music

Very unfriendly and down right rude towards outsiders. My friends and I (from the US) stood in line for 45 mins only to be told "we wouldn't appreciate the music" and were turned away at the door. We wouldn't have been in line if we didn't want to be there.

What a drama, after 1,5 seeking we found the club that wasn't still opening. when we came back after 1 hour there was a lot of people standing before the door. After waiting 30 minutes the grumpy man in front of de door didn't let us in because we were to neatly dressed!! In Holland we call this clubs a "balls club"!! NEVER AGAIN!!! after that we went to Felix, absolute a recommended club!!!
