keltoi Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 what? as long as you look good you'll get in seriously though, we were at the bar outside berghain and as i was getting drinks i asked the bar guy what time the club started to get busy and he leaned over and whispered "btw it's unlikely you'll get in with your friend over there, the security is very strict" nodding towards my asian mate. i said "what are you serious?"... he said "afraid so". later, ignoring the guy we tried to get in and some big muscley gay skinhead told us no chance. i've never had any trouble like this getting into clubs anywhere else, we weren't acting like dicks, not exactly sober but just a few drinks in us, and dressed perfectly acceptable for anywhere else i've gone clubbing, although we obviously didn't look german. same happened at 3 more clubs after that. really spoilt our trip.

Squee Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 My friend and I have been talking about going to Berlin this summer. Like Fenton says, it's the best damn city in Europe. There are so many cool places to visit, so many great cafes, and their clubs are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Berlin had less of that fascho-bullshit. you would have thought so. before we went i read reports of the same racism, in particular towards dark haired, olive skinned people including italians and spanish. i don't know how accurate this is... but it's supposedly over cautiousness resulting from terrorist attacks on berlin clubs by arab extremists, years ago. i must add, apart from all this leaving a bad taste, we had an amazing time and eventually ended up in the riverside bar/club that deze manz pictured above. everywhere else we went people were very friendly.

Guest dese manz hatin Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hm yeah Berghain is known for being more or less racist like that, but it's also quite hard to get in as a normal local-looking person. also I think it's not so much a matter of race as of nationality. if you don't speak German it's hard even if you're white. And it's unfortunately a common practise for some clubs to not let in the turkish looking types. That'S because they're treated very disdainfully in many places because most people think that they cause trouble (berlin is the fourth largest turkish city)...always picking fights and especially assaulting Germans. Thats probably the last form of racism actually existing round here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltoi Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 it struck me as very scenesterish, as in, you'll find it hard to work your way into 'the scene' unless you know someone already in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcock Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 berghain was a club i wanted to go a visit, upsetting that not being able to speak german will make it tricky. but yeah, either way, berlin is right after france for me on the to go list.

Guest 277: 930-933 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 It's a lot easier to get into Berghain if you make it clear you're willing to receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
