We were looking for a club that wasn't playing house/techno and stumbled upon Kalkscheune while…read morelooking for Ma Baker on the same street. Since we could hear the pulsing beat of pop, we decided to suck up the 11€ Saturday night cover and found ourselves... in a club where we were the youngest people by at least 15 years. Awkward! Since we'd payed the steep cover, we decided to stick around, and I'm glad we did. The club has a coat check (1.50€), several bars (6€ for well drinks, 3.50€ for Rioja), and four dance floors. The main floor was playing "party mix" that spanned top 40 to older dance hits. The electronic room in the basement had a good beat but was horribly uncomfortable to dance in given the recessed floor is surrounded by awkward people staring down; we only stayed two minutes. The rock room was fun but humid, but the cosmopolitan room was the real gem. Hidden near the entrance off the main floor, this room played an awesome, strange mix of world music, including Indian, Spanish, and Slavic while we were there. Very fun, and not something that's easy to find in the US. The over-40 crowd diluted after midnight as well, so we ended up having a great time despite the rough start.

Rolled up to Fritz this weekend and it was pretty cool and fun. Definitely the younger type of…read morecrowd here ranging 18-21 mostly vs the higher end clubs, but was still fun. They have 2 music rooms, 1st one was house music and 2nd one was rap/r&b style. Place got packed and the party/energy was good. They have a completely separate outdoor tent for smokers which was nice. Would recommend for people who like Soda club type of scene. Door entry was 8euro. -Aaron the American

Great location right out of the Sbahn station. This place is apparently an old post office that has…read morebeen renovated and converted into a concert venue and club. Nice adaptive reuse, and with the location, not likely to have residential conflicts in the future. Likes: Bar areas in the concert area, and one just adjacent for getting a drink or two and still hearing the show without issue. Some seating in the outer bar area for those of us with a need for that on occasion (bad back = need to sit down once in a while) Dislikes: In spite of the no smoking signs, some douchebags were still lighting up in the concert hall, and security was not vigilant in making them stop it. The signs are only as good as the enforcement people. Minus 1 star for that fail. Design issue: The floor is flat, except for a few risers in the very back. That means the stage needs to be high enough so that the shorter patrons have some chance of seeing the show over Lurch. I saw some short girls craning to see anything - the stage needs to go up a few feet to improve sight lines for all. Coat check was generally efficient, bar staff multi-lingual and quite nice.

Honestly, I'm not sure exactly which Pfeffer institution I should be placing this review under. My…read moreunderstanding is that this complex houses a restaurant, hostel, possibly another restaurant, maybe a club, etc. (I am referencing the location on Schoenhauser Allee). MY experience of it was simply as a biergarten, ordering beers from the beer stand. Elevated from the street, and surrounded on three sides by buildings (in various stages of renovation), it was a nice, congenial courtyard in which to have some beer, isolated mostly from the Schoenhauser Allee noise. It doesn't compete with Prater, but beats out whatever the biergarten at Kultur Brauerei, close by, is called.
