Ehrenfeld club. Not a great building but the clubbing area is fine. Club books good DJs and artists. In walking distance of Club Bahnhof Ehrenfeld.

Blue Shell

Small old dance and night club, loud and crowded. Rock concerts, music contests, poetry slams, parties, bar sounds.

Bootshaus

Serious clubbing. In an old harbor storage facility, but very modern inside. One of Germany's top clubs.

Club complex in Ehrenfeld. Parties and concerts. Devoted to a variety of international styles including hip-hop, jazz and Latin music.

Club Subway

Various parties from Hip Hop, Electro to Indie music with a hip but laid back audience (Moltkestraße metro - next to Rudolfplatz).

Gebäude 9

Concerts. International flavor. Alternative crowd. Quite popular. Inside a defunct factory site on the right bank of the river.

Sixpack

In the vibrant Belgisches Viertel (Aachener Straße 33 - next to Rudolfplatz) you should be aware to wait long or even get rejected especially at a late hour. Mixed music from Electro to Indie with a huge variety of bottled beer.
