"One of the ICONIC goth clubs from Berlin. So amazing, had an €9 entrance fee the DJ was playing new wave that night and my girlfriend and I had a blast! Selection of NA drinks and cocktails as well as a smoking lounge in the garden out back! 11/10 would go again."

"The most goth place I've ever been, and it wasn't even advertised as a goth night. Every time I started being able to see a little bit, the smoke machine activated to maintain the atmosphere, which was both amusing and awesome. The DJ was absolutely outstanding, and matched the energy on the dance floor--she made it hard to leave, because every new song made me want to keep dancing! The dance floor was a wonderful environment of people letting the music move them. Be sure to dress in appropriately goth attire. If you have sensitive ears like me, I recommend bringing earplugs :)"

"Oh how I love Dunckerclub! I come here for years already. The Parties, the music, the staff and the prices of drinks...all is just worth a visit every now and then!
Love to start the evening with some whitty chit chat with the bouncer (Berlin Original Gem) and then enjoy familiar atmosphere "
