If you're looking for a rad place to knock back a few beers with friends and play a couple games of backgammon among other laid-back folk then you've found yourself a new home. Old-school Fhain keeping it real but beware, staff is selectively friendly. I.e. be cool to them and they'll be cool to you. Act like a w@nker and you'll get the same treatment in kind. Careful about your bags; if you go to see a show there don't be a victim and leave your backpack unattended. Nuff said. Taschendiebe aside, always always always worth a visit.

If you go to Supamolly you might feel as if you missed the spot because to get to the concert area…read moreyou have to go through a small bar at first. The door to the concert areal opens at about ten, but may vary. They have plenty of hallways, corners and steps to stride along after which you come into the first room, which is the bar kind of loungy area. All equipped with rather worn down sofas, quite trashy (Berlin style). Two small alleyways spit you onto the concert floor with the stage, where it usually gets loaded full and crammed. If you want it a bit quieter, make your way up the metal spiralstairs which lead to the bar and toilets. From here you also have a great view on the dancing crowd and on the stage. Grab a Club Mate vodka ! and let your eyes indulge in the artwork that has been scattered all over the place..paintings, statues..and the dj, which stands on a small platform only and uses digital equipment in his small cell to make the whole sound possible. The sound really can be anything, they have livebands ranging from jazz over hardcore to art-noise. Though they host ska bands mainly.Ocassionally they have a special Rattenbar called gayparty too, but anyone is welcome. Several times a year there is also a theatrefestival with a variety of artists showing what they can. Youll find yourself very likely in the position of seeing a band never thought could of existed before and then really liking them.Its alwayssmth special going on. Afterwards there are always Djs till real early in the mroning with all kinds of music styles(Drum n Bass, Jungle, Raggea,20s, Electro) Entrance fee is mostly 4EUR which is very cheap- the drinks are too. The people are very mixed, mostly 20to 40, but everything is possible. You know this feeling ofaaah why have guys like those have to hang out here I never had it when I was there, everyone is relaxed and there to have fun. One negative thing at times can be the toilets..but use the ones in the entrancebar and you should be fine. Oh and you can smoke..whatever In summer they have a campfire in the backyard.

Of all the Berlin venues I've experienced, thus far, Astra ranks the lowest…read more It is, of course, a large venue that works well for certain concert experiences, but it's not what I would consider welcoming or inviting. The main issues I have with Astra are the mediocre acoustics, the disadvantageous layout (it's impossible to see anything if you're not in front), and the overall dirtiness of the place. Additionally, its location is right on the corner of Revaler and Warschauer = total foot-traffic clusterfuck. No thanks. One thing I do like is the security guardrail up front, which makes shooting photography at well-attended shows a breeze. But that aside, there aren't many redeeming qualities about this place.

We came here for FKA twigs's concert, and decided to arrive a little later after the doors open…read more The opening act was a DJ and we didn't feel like standing while listening to background music, seems like we were not the only people who thought so, but the entrance and giving out coats at the garderobe still went pretty smooth. Once you get in Theres a smokers zone which smells like hell, and even when it's not wide open you can smell it when you pass by. Inside there were really long lines at the bar but at least the whole area was smoke free. We got ourselves a beer and went to the main hall. So the main hall, Yep - where the stage is. Contained pretty much nothing, all the facilities are in the previous hall. There are 2 large columns pretty close to the stage which kinda block the view if you're planning to stand somewhere on the side. In addition to that the stage is pretty low so I had to stand on the tip of my toes to see something most of the show (I'm not short), it wasn't too comfortable for me and I'm sure the short girls behind didn't have a really good time either - maybe that's why they pushed me in order to get forward. It's a non smoking zone and of course people ignore it completely and light up an occasional cigarette with nobody to tell them to put it off. On the way out we chose to leave a little before the last song so things went a little smoother, but lines did pile up after we left. Some good things- sounds and lightning were great, and the show itself was pretty awesome with some cool vibes an mostly nice people. I'll probably go again if one of my favorite artists will came but I'm definitely not a big fan of this place.

Lido is, without a doubt, one of my top favourite venues in all of Berlin. Everything - from its…read moresize, to its location, to the bands it books, to the overall light and sound - are wonderful. The layout is quite comfortable, with the standard bar in the back. Meanwhile, there is elevated seating on the side for those who want sit down but still take in the show. The entire room is incredibly spacious, even when the place is packed. The stage is also at a perfect level for taking photos, and the photography I do at this venue is always among my best, because the lighting is versatile and conducive to taking photos without flash. The back room, or smoking lounge, is a good place to take a break from all the people and the loud music, and the second bar there is advantageous. I guess my only complaint would be that it costs money to use the bathrooms... I understand and respect the idea of a bathroom attendant, but I can't think of any other venues who implement this. All in all, if you haven't been to Lido yet, check it out. I am almost certain you will find a musician playing or a themed-dance night that peaks your interest.

So back in the day (meaning: before I lived in Berlin), there was a club in the U-Bahn Schlesische…read moreStr. known as Kato. As clubs in Berlin are wont to do, it closed down and the place remained empty for some time. Then, earlier this year (six weeks ago, to be exact), that same space reopened, only now it's known by Bi Nuu (and purportedly owned by the same folks over at Lido). Being that I live a few blocks away, my natural inclination is to love this venue, namely due to its proximity. But there are other positive aspects too. I don't know what the old club looked like, but the new one is quite lovely inside, although surprisingly small. The entrance is somewhat discrete (although easier to locate on a night when there's actually a show) but there is a lot of open space in the hallway between the door and the main room. The ceilings are high, there is a lot of "natural' light that can come through, and the acoustics are not bad. However, I've only seen solo artists on amplified acoustic guitars, so it will be interesting to compare the sound with a full live band. Also, for being in a train station and practically directly under the train tracks, one doesn't even hear the U-Bahn going overhead (although it's likely different when music is not playing). If you get an opportunity to see a show at Bi Nuu, I would urge you to check it out. The booker is consistently bringing in excellent acts and the venue itself is pretty legit.

But srsly, who gets grossed out at the floors at a punk/metal venue? Isn't that part of the charm? *Lol lol lol* Also, ftr, this venue is NOT hard to find: It's literally under the metro! That's easier to find than a street number posted on a door at night! Wish I was there when the light was shining through the big window -- I saw some really great pics of that online; cool vibe!

My lifelong love of music, instruments, learning instruments at a music conservatory and DJAning…read moresince I am 14 declare why I'm attending concerts. That's why I know lots of locations, music halls and clubs. Worldwide. And especially in Germany. My experience with Verti Music Hall, the security team and the sound facility is so unique. I have visited so far only other classic, stored concerts, which I am sure also referred to the ages of the musicians. At Manfred Mann's Earthband (MMEB) the hall was seated, security in the hall seemed very nervous and approached each guest who visibly sat- holding a smartphone in his hands- in his chair. Each guest had been stopped immediately and thrill-Sergeant-screaming-at-him taking no photographs or making videos, as well not to dance and absolutely sitting on the square. Not to move anyway. Audible. Indeed, all conversations around mecould be listened to because the p.a. volume had been extraordinary... quiet. The audience was irritated, individually enchanted, some left the concert and protesters were disappointed: everybody of us invested in expensive tickets. and Restricted freedom of moving around and dancing wasn't very helpful. During the first 15 minutes the audience reflected about tickets, living the band or leaving this uncomfortable situation. Without cash back. Of course. The performance of the band did nothing to do so. Since I assessed the hall and - for my understanding - also the experience in the hall, I would like to recommend the MCs and promoters or event managers to meet the needs of concert visitors.
