    It's getting harder and harder to get in because of social media. Imagine trying to get in during the 90s man must've been wild

    I think they really should advertise it's an extreme kink gay club, cause a lot of people wanna go in thinking it's a straight club that must have really great music or something or that it's special and exclusive and fancy, a lot of people don't understand that it's not meant for them and it's fine, it's not exclusive, it's just not for you, when you get rejected the bouncers are doing both you and the people inside a favor. It's crazy that there's so many outstanding world-class straight clubs in Berlin and all the straight kids are so desperate to get into Berghain of all places

      Honestly that's one of the reasons I made this video because I went in for the techno and I had never seen a gay club, or a kink club to that scale before. It was a cool surprise but all the gay guys were just telling me these things are pretty standard fare at any 100% pure gay clubs. It's only just shocking to me cuz I've never been a bath house or anything before. I'm going next week though cuz my buddy's doing his bday there so I'll get to see it.

    • @theloniuspoon
      @theloniuspoon  7 місяців тому +7

      I'm not judging anybody but they do allow straight people in too because it's an accepting place for all of us. I have many gay friends myself. I mostly wanted to get into the club because I'm a techno fan but I didn't fully expect the other parts so that was all new to me. Overall was a good experience though. No judgement to anybody inside, I was merely walking around the club observing what I saw. It's a safe judgement free zone even for people like myself.

      @@mikesmith-zh3go Yeah at the end of the day it's just a regular club with a liquor license that just sells booze all night. Any other ravers showing up high as f that's their own responsibility really. Not too dissimilar from how Coda operates for example. I think the difference with this club is that it's so massive that there's just a lot more privacy for people and it has dark rooms all over the place, vs Coda where it's just one massive brightly lit room. They definitely do not encourage it though like at the end of the day they're trying to maintain their liquor license and have patrons leave safely every night lol. They have a pretty strict security policy and if they catch anybody at the door you can get banned still cuz they need the place to operate safely long term. If you've ever been to comfort zone for example it's kind of like that except the venue is the size of rebel so it's just kinda wild when you go in.
