The ridiculous, the outlandish, the in-your-face… Bangaluu
Bangaluu
Invalidenstr. 30
When Ali G decided to prank Berlin clubbers for his new movie, he chose Bangaluu. Not because of the white beds that bedeck the VIP area, not because the go-go dancers are absurd (ever seen a go-go dancer stapled to a cross who periodically climbs in and out of a coffin?) but just because… it’s Bangaluu!!! The dress policy isn’t overly strict and on most nights it’s easy to get in free if you know the password, about which you can ask anyone in line. The music varies from pure house to popular songs of all genres, and the crowd itself is rather diverse. Much less exclusive than a Dante or Maxxim, but just as exciting.
Bangaluu is especially suitable for large groups of non-German speakers, who will not face discrimination for being in a large group, nor for speaking English. The club is quite spacious when the deck on the top floor and the middle floor are open. Bangaluu tends to be packed between 1 and 4 a.m. and has been known to have photographers from up to seven (!) different Berlin party websites all present at various stages of the night. Perfect for photo-op-whores. There are also myriad places to dance on ledges and stairs for show-offs, which the go-go dancers all make their way to throughout the night, but which are otherwise great for scouting out the crowd.
Since Bangaluu is so easy to get into, you might run into your aunt or your little brother – there is no set crowd. However, bring a photocopy of your passport if you are not from the EU, as there is one bouncer who will sometimes refuse to accept US IDs when he is in a bad mood (which appears to be always).
