Berlin nightlife and clubs: what Berghain, Tresor, Sisyphos and the KitKatClub say about ages, nights and doors, and the pub crawls and club tours

💡 The Short Version: Berghain is 18+, with a Klubnacht every Saturday from 23:59 and Panorama Bar events on Fridays from 22:00, and the club’s own pages give no door rules, closing time or price. Tresor says a ticket does not guarantee entry, and Sisyphos admits from 21 and bans camouflage and football shirts, and Tresor bans photos inside. Pub crawls with “VIP club entry” run from €14 to €23, and club tours from €31.50. The trains run all night on Friday and Saturday nights. Or book a night: the Berlin Club Culture tour of three clubsad is from €31.50 for 5.5 hours.

⚠️ A ticket is not entry. Tresor says a ticket does not guarantee entry, Sisyphos says a capacity limit can pause the door, and Berghain publishes no door rules at all.

What the clubs publish

The facts below come from the clubs’ own pages. None of the clubs promises entry, and no page here does.

Berghain, Panorama Bar and Säule

Am Wriezener Bahnhof, 10243 Berlin · by S-Ostbahnhof · 18+ · berghain.berlin

The programme page lists a Klubnacht on Saturdays in Berghain and Panorama Bar with a start at 23:59, Friday events in Panorama Bar from 22:00, and concerts and other nights through the week: doors at 19:00 and a start at 20:00 for a concert in Berghain, and a 21:00 start for others. The contact page gives the age limit as 18+. The awareness page asks guests to respect personal space, says offenders are removed and reported, and says cold drinking water is free in all the restrooms. Lost property is collected on Wednesdays from 14:00 to 18:00 after an email to the club. The club does not give its door rules, closing time or Klubnacht price on its own pages.

Tresor

Köpenicker Straße 70, 10179 Berlin · tresorberlin.com

Tresor sells tickets on Resident Advisor or at the box office during the event, and says that a ticket does not guarantee entry: it may refuse admission under its house rules, and refunds go through Resident Advisor. Filming and photos inside are banned, and a guest found doing either is removed. The cloakroom is self-service, so bring a charged phone with NFC switched on and download the Daylox app before you arrive. A discounted Community Ticket, on sale since 1 July 2026, is sold only at the door on proof of a VBB S-Ticket or the digital benefits notice, with ID, and entry still depends on the door (guest information).

Sisyphos

Admission from 21 · sisyphos-berlin.net

The club’s entry policy, in German, sets the age at 21. It asks guests not to wear camouflage or anything that looks military, and to leave football shirts and national-team shirts at home. Large rucksacks, suitcases and bulky luggage stay at home, and so do dangerous objects and tools. There is no smoking or photographing while you queue, and a capacity limit can stop entry for a while. The club says it excludes nobody on grounds of gender, identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, ethnic origin or nationality, and that the door team decides only on the situation on the spot.

KitKatClub

kitkatclub.org

The club describes itself as hedonistic, colourful, musical and kinky. Its programme runs Disco Bizarre every Saturday as part of CarneBall Bizarre, Four Play on the first Friday of the month, GEGEN and Psycho on alternate second Fridays, and Revolver. Entry prices and advance tickets come from the organiser of each event.

Pub crawls and club tours

The tours below are on GetYourGuide, with their lowest “from” prices. Their “VIP” or guaranteed entry is an arrangement between the operator and a club that the listing does not name. Tresor and Sisyphos say above that their door decides.

The listing for the €23 pub crawl says that on New Year’s Eve the crawl includes two hours of open bar. The three Berlin Club Culture tours are in English, and the listing for the €23 crawl says it is not suitable for children under 18.

BLINDED by DELIGHT at the Friedrichstadt-Palastad is a 2.5-hour revue with more than 100 artists on what the Palast calls the world’s largest theatre stage, from €44.90.

When and where

• Winter dates. The CTM Festival runs from 22 to 31 January 2027 and Transmediale from 28 to 31 January (berlin.de).
• Getting home. On the nights from Friday to Saturday and from Saturday to Sunday the U-Bahn and S-Bahn run all night; on other nights the service stops at about half past one and restarts at about four, with night buses between (visitBerlin). See Berlin public transport.
• Where to sleep. Berghain stands by S-Ostbahnhof, and Warschauer Straße station in Friedrichshain is the base that nightlife guides name for it and for the RAW compound: see where to stay in Berlin.
• Before the club. The late-night stands are in currywurst and döner in Berlin, and the dinners are in where to eat in Berlin.

By day, the East Side Gallery is beside Warschauer Straße. For a drink with a guide, Berlin food tours covers the brewery tours, and 3 days in Berlin fits a night into a trip.
