Europe Chevron. Germany Chevron. Berlin Chevron. Reviewed by Krystin Arneson. What's the story here? KitKatClub is one of Berlin's most iconic clubs—it's been around almost 25 years, and nights like CarneBall Bizarre and Electric Mondays are well-attended by locals.
Yes, you'll see some easy-to-clean pleather inside, but overall, it's not the skeevy dungeon a lot of people picture when they think of a sex club. Instead, the dance floor is—depending on the night—almost whimsical and full of sexy energy, unlike the heavy, thudding, darkly industrial energy of Berghain, another of Berlin's most famous clubs. Got it. So what's the vibe like inside? Nights at KitKatClub are always somewhat erotic and subversive—this is Berlin, after all, and club nights aren't the sparkly-minidress-and-Top affairs they are in many other cities.
Although this is technically a sex club, it's not the sleazy affair newcomers might expect. If you just want to dance to the famous techno and house beats, that's totally fine—it will feel like you're with a ton of friends and everyone just happens to be in sexy underwear. Off the dance floor, it's up to guests to participate as much—or as little—as they want in any other activities; consent here is strictly emphasized, and there's no pressure.
Anything we should know about the facilities? Once you get past the double layers of bouncers—first at the gate, then at the door—there's a coat room. If you have further clothing to remove, do so here. What's the crowd like? KitKat embodies Berlin's inclusivity—just follow the dress code for your chosen night.
You'll see all ages here, all body types, and a broad spectrum of genders and sexualities. Sum it all up—why should we come here? If you're feeling a bit adventurous, you'll want to make this a stop on a night out—just play it cool in the queue, and don't rock up in street clothes.
