While known by many as a gay club, a better description would be "anything goes." Sex is almost not an issue on this dance floor where everyone seems to be getting down and dirty with the closest moving body. Girls grope girls, girls grope boys and everyone pulses to the beat of intense dance music. Large video screens, day-glo dcor and a consistent crowd of sexy, sweaty people all contribute to Berlin's success as "Chicago's hottest dance club," according to Rolling Stone. The last Sunday of every month is Prince night, and the last Wednesday of each month is disco night. "Live Wire" Saturdays include a variety of live music. Located on Belmont's forever-thriving late-night entertainment strip, Berlin is within steps of countless restaurants, dance clubs, bars and stores selling erotica and hip clothing. --Kari Lydersen

Still the best.

I was there opening night. I was there last Saturday night. Hands down the best music in the city. If you are going for music...Berlin. If you are going to be pretty and be seen then go somewhere else.

I liked Berlin when it was 1 storefront, and not filled with pick pockets, over populated by gay asians...

I agree with Bambi of what she said above. It is too much cigarette smoke and too cramped. They should consider getting big like Excalibur for the type of crowd then it would be even hotter (smile). If you love to people watch and are openminded you have to go to Berlin

Oh Berlin!

Berlin is indeed one of the best spots, if You're aiming for a night full of dancing and getting to know a lot of people (some more personally than You'd like). Berlin is small, and doesn't have a sitting area... though it does have some tall standing tables and a non-dancing area by the restrooms. The two stages are great for showing off Your moves, and spotting people. The music is almost always great and fitting for any type of dancing, and the people are for the most part REALLY generous... the guys at the door are jerks sometimes - watch out for the doorguy!
