Friday 2-4-1

The best night for first-timers. 2-for-1 drinks and a (slightly) more relaxed dress code. Arrive early.

Strict Door Policy

Don't even try entering with blue jeans or cologne. Fetish gear is mandatory. Be prepared to change.

Berghain Basement

Located in the same building as Berghain. A separate entrance on the side.

The Abyss of Berlin: Lab.oratory

Located in the basement of the legendary Berghain, Lab.oratory ("Lab") is widely considered the most extreme and uninhibited gay fetish club in the world. It is not for the faint of heart.

The Vibe

Dark, industrial, and intense. The venue features varying themes depending on the night (e.g., "Fausthouse", "Yellow", "nature"), but Fridays are typically the most accessible with the "2-4-1" drink special (though still requires fetish gear/black).

The Rules

Men Only: Strictly no women.
Dress Code: Essential. Check the website. Generally: Leather, Rubber, Sportswear, or nature. Street clothes (jeans/sneakers) completely prohibited on most nights.
No Photos: Cameras are taped or forbidden. Privacy is absolute.

Facilities include a massive socializing area, slings, showers, and a bar. It is the ultimate playground for those who want to explore their deepest desires.
