Watergate

Uber-trendy techno-club right by the water
Noteworthy for: The fantastic sunrises seen from the floor-to-ceiling windows, if you can stay awake that long.

This huge glass box is located right beside the River Spree and specialises in techno and house – it's a popular hangout for Berlin's over-25 clubbers, who are happy to leave the teenagers to their pseudo-underground caverns and have this place to themselves.
Rooms are spacious, with loads of sofas to collapse on during sweat breaks, while the dance floors themselves are covered in a spectacular lighting system running the whole length of the club. Tripping out to some top tunes as you gaze out over a backdrop of amazing architecture and rippling skies – it's sheer, unadulterated ecstasy.
