i'll be in berlin for the first time EVAH in less than 48 hours. arriving on the 10th and leaving on the 18th. as this is my first time there (or, um, in europe in general), does anyone know of anything cool happening between those dates? i'm already planning on going to kompaktorama at berghain/panoramabar (these are one and the same, yeah?) if it means anything, the apartment i'm staying at is apparently about 40 feet from where the wall stood (according to my friend).
i'm so excited i can barely concentrate on the two papers i have to write before then! rnnnnnnk.

I'm not sure what to do clubbing wise. While I'll hapilly go out all hours, and would love to wake up, grab breakfast and then go clubbing, Madeline is less keen.
Are there any good, friendly, bars to catch good DJs between say 8pm-4am??? I'm not picky on the day.
Also, we're staying in Prenzlaur Berg this time - which we didn't really get out to much last time. Does anybody have any tips for good independent coffee shops, cafe's, pubs and restaurants?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

if you can get to meunster there's a sculpture exhibition on that only happens once every 10 YEARS.. it seems like there may be associated events happening in berlin too?

that looks awesome! prob won't be able to get to muenster as is on other side of country though - hopefully the berlin stuff will be good though...
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 09:15 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i especially like this mysterious paragrah: "Djs, Drinks and Art Education: The velo lounge is a project for adolescents, students and apprentices. Young art guides and a purpose-built DJ-bike stopped in front of eleven artistic projects."
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 09:17 (sixteen years ago) link
when i was there i noticed red bicycles parked everywhere - very sturdy, high-quality bikes - and it turned out one could call the phone number printed on them, give one's credit card information, and they'd give you the code to unlock the chain. the rates were very cheap.
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 09:19 (sixteen years ago) link
when i was "there" --> "there" = berlin
oh no i think the velo lounge is in muenster :(

what i did was rent one of those red bikes and wander around prenzlauerberg, mitte, kreuzberg.. you could also check out super gay-friendly shöneberg. in general lex i think you will find the east most fun. i went to charlottenberg for a bit (in the west) and it was obviously wealthier, etc. but more boring. i also took a trip to wedding, just because it looked boring and i wanted to see the boring part of such a vibrant city. and yes - it was boring.
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 09:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Find Scotch and Sofa, fantastic vibe. Tracer is spot on re. the bikes. I didn't use those ones but the fact that everywhere is within cycling distance and there are bikepaths makes it safe. Try to check out the Jewish Museum, the Altes Museum and the Berlin Gallery. Kreuzberg is great for brunch.
Tracer, everywhere in Berlin is gay friendly!
Clubs: I have heard amazing things about Watergate in Kreuzberg and Tresor (sp?) nearby that is meant to be good for dancing.
Man, I'd love to be going back. Was there only 3 weeks ago, brilliant city.
― kv_nol, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 09:56 (sixteen years ago) link
that's why i said "SUPER gay friendly"!!
tresor is gone :(
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 09:58 (sixteen years ago) link
but maybe it has reopened in some other guise?
yeah re: the bikepaths, keep in mind that sometimes the bike paths go up onto the pavement, and can be designated only by differently-coloured bricks. i didn't know that and was standing on the pavement right in the bike path and was given INCREDIBLY dirty stares by bikers until i realised what i was doing. bikers' "rights" are taken pretty seriously there i guess!
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 10:00 (sixteen years ago) link
mmm, i can't ride a bike though, so that's moot.
definitely want to go to the jewish museum, and berghain obv.
when i was emailing the dude at the bar we're staying at re: dates, he was like "ahhh, perfect, we're hosting a m_nus party on the sunday night". when i confirmed that we were leaving on monday night, he was like "no! no! the party is scheduled to go until tuesday!"
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 10:04 (sixteen years ago) link
lex it's not moot if you're standing in the path and get run over! i am concerned for your safety here.
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 10:12 (sixteen years ago) link
i have never paid attention to cars either! and it's worked so far
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 10:14 (sixteen years ago) link
The thing with Berlin is, it's a heavily decentralized city, where you should stay depends on what sort of things you want to do. The actual "central" area, around Alexanderplats and Unter den Linden, has some touristy things but otherwise there's not much to do there. Among the cooler, more multicultural areas with clubs, pubs, record stores, flea markets, etc, are Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, and Prenzlauer Berg. So if you want that sort of action, Wilmersdorf is a bit far for there, and the U7 subway that stops near the hotel doesn't get you straight to the those areas either, you have to change subways at least once. But of course if you have time to ride the trains it's not that big of a hassle, you should get to most places worth a visit in 20-60 minutes.

When are you going to Berlin, Whiney? I'm traveling in Germany next month, most likely I'll be in Berlin from 15th to 18th of August.

In Berlin in just under two weeks! Fingers crossed they'll let us colonial types into Panoramabar/Watergate/etc for the Smalltown Supersound/Kompakt nights.
― etc, Saturday, 28 August 2010 11:16 (thirteen years ago) link
If you're going to Berghain/Panoramabar, be prepared to walk for a bit. It's technically in Friedrichshain, but it's in the middle of an old industrial area that's not near any public transport or anything. When we went there a few years ago, at some point we thought we're lost, as there was just this empty industrial lot with no lights or anything, but then we saw cars driving into the same direction we were heading, so we knew something was there.
Also, at the door they did a body search for everyone, which is quite rare in Germany, I think. Dunno if they'd had some problems with guns or knives or something... AFAIK Berlin is generally pretty safe for a city of that size.
― Tuomas, Saturday, 28 August 2010 12:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Or maybe they do a body search in the bigger clubs, I dunno. That's the only time I've been to a club of that size in Berlin.
