Dates - Watergate. 10 of the best clubs in Berlin. Berghain Massive, mythical and sometimes monstrously hard to get into (the door staff can be terrifyingly capricious), the converted power station Berghain lives up to its worldwide reputation, and carries the torch for Berlin's deathless techno inheritance.
The upstairs Panorama bar offers house music to the cavernous main room's diet of minimal techno and Detroit, though the SUB:STANCE dubstep nights and the regular Thursday "Elektroakustische" session add an experimental edge. Extremely liberal, disorientating, brutal and beautiful all at once, Berghain remains justifiably popular, and comes close to the no-holds-barred European clubbing that American film producers dream of.• Am Wriezener Bahnhof, Friedrichshain, +49 30 2936 0210, berghain.de.
