Sage Club, Berlin

Sage Club in Berlin

Sage Club, located at Köpenicker Strasse 76 in Mitte, is the hottest dance club and live music venue of a city notorious for its wild all-night party culture. The club is housed underground in a formerly disused part of Heinrich Heine Strasse Station, a location that lends instant glamour to the establishment.

This cool and concrete-walled hotspot boasts of sophisticated interiors and a cutting-edge light and sound system (bass-loaded). There are several separate dance floors, an Oriental lounge adorned with a fire-breathing dragon, and an outdoor space complete with a rooftop pool and wooden deck. The décor is an interesting fusion of such jet-set style and quirky design, like gargoyles overlooking the bars. The pool area is preferred by those who wish to sit and talk or to simply chill. There are DJ’s and live performers to keep the music playing, from rock, hardcore and industrial, to Britpop and 90’s classics. In fact, the club’s eclectic music policy belts out everything from techno and rock to funk and house, depending on the day, the area, and the audience, the current craze being ‘rock meets electronic’ The crowd is diverse and dynamic, often on the younger side, and serious about clubbing.

Sage Club is open Thursday from 10pm and Friday to Saturday from 11pm until close or 6am. Thursdays are the weeknights, when admission is free until 11pm and live rock acts supported by the DJs set the party scene. ‘Funky Friday’ and ‘Slave to the Rhythm’ Saturday are the most popular nights when the party crowd groves to some classic house and tough techno beats.

Sage Club is undoubtedly one of the top nightspots in the whole of Germany, and somewhat of an institution in Berlin itself, with a far-reaching reputation that makes it a must-visit for the serious clubber or adventurous traveler.
