Lab.oratory Berlin stands as a legendary gay sex club nestled in the old coal cellar beneath the iconic Berghain nightclub, within a former power plant in Friedrichshain. Accessed via a discreet side entrance, it immerses visitors in a raw, industrial labyrinth of tunnels, caves, and play zones that pulse with uninhibited energy.
The venue hosts themed parties from Thursday to Sunday, featuring strict dress codes like leather, rubber, sportswear, or nudity. Highlights include bar areas with drinks specials, expansive cruising spaces, and events focused on fisting and group play. Its phenomenal design blends gritty cement aesthetics with artistic flair, offering free condoms and lube throughout. Renowned worldwide for its boundary-pushing vibe, Lab.oratory is men-only territory where fantasies unfold freely in Berlin's sex-positive scene.
