About Lab.oratory

Lab.oratory is a fetish and cruise club at Am Wriezener Bahnhof in Berlin’s Friedrichshain district, in the Berghain complex. Its calendar is the starting point for a visit: each date has a theme, an audience policy and a published door-entry window. Clothing rules vary. The official program includes naked nights, sportswear and rubber events, alongside dates with no dress code. Most sessions are men-focused, but dedicated FLINTA dates have different admission rules. Read the individual event listing rather than assuming every night works the same way. Pay particular attention to the times marked “doors.” These describe the admission window, not a guaranteed party finishing time. Some dates admit guests for only two or three hours, while special events can follow a different schedule. Check the official calendar for the date you intend to attend, including any closure or special-event notice.

What to expect

An event-led cruise and fetish venue. Choose a date by its theme, audience and dress code, then plan around the published admission window. It is a different kind of visit from a general bar night.

The greatest gay cruise club of them all! Hundreds of horny sweaty men of all types and sizes in one huge industrial venue. Naked nights on Thursdays are top. Every gay man should experience it at least once in their lives. Cards now accepted.

I could have felt it was ok, but I had a really bad experience. I was just standing, asking for nothing, and a guy (very old) tried to stick his dick full of lube inside of me, there had been no contact with this guy in any sense, he just came from behind, I pulled him over in the instant, but I felt raped. It was the Naked Sunday afternoon, but being naked doesn't mean consent. It left me with a very bad feeling.

This is a completely different experience. I would say this is the world's biggest sex party. We arrived one hour earlier (8pm), and we still had to queue for 1 hour. So, arrive early. €20 cover fee. Drinks inside are very reasonable. It's very well organised. Once you cross the door, you empty your pockets, they pat your groins, and then you pay. After that, there is a big room where you get changed and get completely naked. Little bags, harness, armbands, and bum bags are allowed. You put stickers in your phone's cameras. Inside is very big, different areas, and lots slings. There is lube and paper everywhere. There are also showers. It can be very overwhelming.

Good place to eat as many aubergines, peaches and fresh milk all night long. Music is good and the place is massive. There are just so many endless queues; queue to get in and checked your stuff with a bracelet, queue to collect your stuff back, and, a final queue to pay before you leave. Fortunately payments by card are accepted now.

Great venue, great staff and very sexy place. Cleanliness could be improved around the toilets, but they probably have good reasons not to clean during opening hours? Very efficient cue / wardrobe / payment system.

Five stars absolutely for the staff. Each one was lovely - from the entry, to the cloak room, to the bar staff. We came here on a Friday night, waited in line for about 15 minutes. There were all ages, looks, skin tones and body types - a few guys who acted like they were hot and they knew it - but mostly a very inclusive and fun environment. Also drinks and the entry cost were very reasonable!

I’ve been coming here regularly and have always enjoyed the atmosphere, but a recent experience left me quite disappointed. During my last visit, I suddenly had a severe anxiety/panic attack (dizziness, heavy sweating, nausea). I don’t drink or use drugs, and this came on unexpectedly. I needed to leave quickly, but due to the club’s process (collect clothes → go to the bar → get a receipt → exit), I was unable to exit without going back into a very crowded area, which I physically couldn’t handle in that moment. I approached the staff at the cloakroom and explained my situation clearly, including that I was feeling unwell and needed help to exit. I even offered to leave my ID or credit card as a guarantee. Despite this, I was refused help and told to handle it myself. I then went to reception and explained again, but was met with the same lack of flexibility or support. Only after another staff member noticed my condition and stepped in voluntarily was I able to leave. I understand that staff may need to follow procedures, and that they might assume situations involving intoxication. However, in cases where someone is visibly unwell, some basic flexibility and empathy should be possible, especially when a simple workaround exists. I’m sharing this as constructive feedback. It would make a big difference if staff were trained to better handle situations where guests are in distress and need assistance to exit safely. I still appreciate the venue overall, but this experience has made me reconsider returning.
