Get your freak on and head gaily forward to Berlin Nightclub for an uber-cool experience you won't find at any other bar in Chicago.
Decidedly deco, Berlin celebrates the deliciously decadent pre-WWII mystique of its namesake city: three bars, low lights, and a steamy dance floor that spews a hefty dose of frequent low-level fog puts one in a state of mind to, well... let it all hang out. And that's not a problem: blacked out windows at the front of the bar make sure that what happens in Berlin, stays in Berlin. Located just beyond Boystown
underneath the El tracks at Belmont (which hints at the bar's overall clandestine feel before you even reach the door), Berlin is easily accessible. In addition to the regular decor, the club frequently changes things up with theme installations and events to keep the party fresh and exciting.
Berlin is the bar to let loose in Chicago, and you're definitely free to be your over-the-top self if you please. The crowd is edgy and can be quite fierce, especially on Saturday nights when the music leans toward a more hardcore brand of house. This is never intimidating, though, because people here tend to mix well. A large number of sexy boys without shirts (many of them bisexual) is available to get jiggy with
or just watch from a distance, but a considerable number of def females frequent Berlin as well.
A night out at Berlin will not make your rent late. On nights they have a cover charge it is normally between $3 and $7, and drinks are inexpensive but pack a punch. Plus, Berlin stays open until the wee hours to ensure plenty of play time,
which is a major draw. Events like "Cosmix Fridays", "Twisted Saturdays", "Madonna-rama", "Bjork Showcase", "Disco Obsession", and "Prince Nite" keep 'em coming back for more.
