About Lab.oratory

Lab.oratory Berlin, in Friedrichshain, is not just any gay club; it's a world-renowned mecca for the adventurous and the free-spirited. Part of the legendary Berghain complex, Lab.oratory takes the concept of a gay cruise and fetish club to a whole new level. With an ambiance that's both raw and electrifying, "The Lab" as it's affectionately known, welcomes men of all ages and body types to explore their desires in an environment that's as inclusive as it is exclusive. Thursday nights are particularly infamous, with the "Naked Night" drawing in crowds from all corners of the globe. The atmosphere is electric, with over a thousand participants diving into an array of play areas, proving there truly is someone for everyone here. The club's industrial setting, complete with cages, slings, glory holes, and dark rooms, sets the perfect stage for uninhibited fun. But it's not just about the physical space; the friendly staff and the diverse crowd create a welcoming atmosphere that's hard to find elsewhere. Lab.oratory doesn't just push boundaries; it completely disregards them. Theme nights range from kinky to downright daring, making it a place where fantasies come to life. The club's authentic industrial design adds to the allure, making it a must-visit for those looking to explore the darker side of Berlin's nightlife. While the club might not be for the faint-hearted, for those who dare, it offers an unparalleled experience of freedom and exploration.

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.

I'm greek and i went 3 times in March this year. Some of these reviews are hilarious. Complaints about the hygiene and smell. Um it's a notorious sex club. There were like a thousand people in there fooling around lol what did you expect?? Complaints about drug use lol I had no problem getting in nor did i see anyone getting denied entry. The staff were great and the tall german guy was really cute and was asking me if i enjoyed myself. The drinks were great and i mean everything is cheap to get in and to get drunk!! The place is huge. Will definitely be going back. If you get offended by the smell of urine, are afraid to get dirty or stepped on, are offended by the smell of poppers well don't go lol

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!
