About
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.

I feel like someone needs to explain because a lot of people get confused....There is usually a line... so to be able to get to the entrance so you can line up and go to Am Wriezener Bahnhof (pictured sign) and the line will go down the alley (pictured) and the line for Lab turns LEFT. It's important to go to this section because sometimes the gate closer to the clubs door is locked and you cannot enter from that side and then you will have to walk around the entire block.lThere's a second line that goes right and that's for Bergheim, so get in the correct line! Opon entry (pictured) they will check your bag for prohibited items and you must pay 10€ entry CASH ONLY. There is no card accepted inside or ATM, be aware of this because you need to pay if U get any drinks when U leave.They will give you a wristband with the number, (pictured) this is your number for the night where all your drinks get put on your bar tab under this number. You also get given a plastic bag where you can put all of the clothes that you don't want to wear inside the club, they write your number on the bag and then you go inside.When you are leaving you will go back and get your bag and change back into your clothes, and then you go to the bar to have the number taking off your wrist and pay. They will give U a receipt (pictured) Then to leave you simply give this receipt to the guy at the door and you're finished.Entry is usually only for 2-hours on each night and if you get there after the entry time ends you cannot go inside. In my experience if there is a line they will still let everybody in the line inside.Thursday's is usually naked night and you must put all your clothes in the bag, if you do not want to be naked don't go on Thursday.Have fun boys!*Update* there is now a cash machine outside the entrance to berghain just to the right.*Update* as of January 2024 there is a card machine at the front door to pay for entry, now 12€Fred Naughty

4 hours of queuing to get inside the Snax!!! +1 hour lost with the changing of time ( winter to summer time)So you arrive at 1.30 and you get in at 6.30!Time to show some respect for your customers and have a better entrance organization!!!Memet

It’s a great club but yes unfortunately the door staff are rude. The bar staff are friendly however. The smoking inside is not great and you leave smelling of cigarette smoke. If you are throughly against smoking of have respiratory problems then this is definitely not the place for you. It’s definitely not for everyone and even the most open minded will raise an eyebrow while in there.Grad Stud

Fun club but for Gods sake CONTROL THE SMOKERS. It’s 2024 and even the dingiest third world bar doesn’t allow smoking. This isn’t about freedom, you are literally giving lung cancer to the people who work there. Do better! Somehow every other establishment has figured this out.Richard London

Some of the door staff have become rude and disrespectful over the years. The Friday night dance party has become nothing but a circuit party, with rude guys pushing in, so now avoiding.Smoking should be kept to the bar area.Kinda feels like this place has had it's moment in time, but that's probably more of a reflection of the door staff and the scene in general.eenandereplaneet

I highly recommend the MASK days (held the 3rd Sunday of every month). Very different crowd than the other days. It's less crowded, but there is more action than the other days I've gone. Wearing a mask seems to attract a wilder and less inhibited type of person, more atypical non-scene guys who know what they want and do it with conviction and have no holds barred. NAKED nights are a second option, but very crowded and the men there are not as HOT as the ones I've crossed at the MASK events I went to. MASK is very sexual and less posing and running around in circles.I don't recommend Fridays, besides being too damn busy, nearly an hour long waiting line, there is not a lot going on inside, except people chatting away in small groups. Saturdays are more for fetish lovers and you need to abide with the strict dress code.Ning L.

I was in this club from September 8-9, I liked everything, except for the disgusting workers at the entrance who REFUSED to sell me a ticket because I didn’t take cash with me. My argument that I arrived with friends who had come an hour earlier was also met with a refusal with advice to leave the club and withdraw cash. I stood in line for an hour and a half and hearing this was like holding a lit match to gasoline. I was forced to stand for several minutes waiting for my friend, who gave me 20 euros, which I shook in front of these *** at the entrance. I was furious and my evening was ruined.Christopher Tyler

After doing a lot of research I decided to visit here on my trip to Berlin from Uganda. I was particularly interested in the stallion and mares party...D K.

Not tourist-friendly during COVID, don't waste time coming right now if you were not vaccinated in the EU to get an EU COVID Certificate. I am visiting...Stefan W.

I’m planning on going to SneakerSox this Saturday. Anyone know if it’s naked with sneakers and socks or do most people also wear sports kit etc? Thanks in advance!
