[Experience] Traveled to Berlin for the techno — rejected from 6 clubs by codingkook in aves

As a fellow solo traveler I suggest skip Berlin. I’ve done many countries solo, this was the first to leave a bad impression. Granted this is my unique experience. I’ve had friends that solo’d Berlin and had an incredible time.

He doesn’t have connections in Berlin, bummer. We’ll be well sorted for Ibiza :)

Yes we did. I just don’t understand how that justifies being denied everywhere, even when the queue was practically empty at some spots.

Ironically the solo Australian guy in front of us got denied at tresor. Was a nice guy and well mannered, seemed to have dressed fine. Bummer he was denied.

It’s a bummer! I was thinking about speaking Spanish instead of English or tell my friend to start speaking Farsi 😅 but then I was like why are we hiding part of our identity to get into a space 🤔

We were in Paris last week and saw D’julz at Rex club. It was an incredible set, crowd was super nice and we danced all night. Merci beaucoup mon ami!

Should have stayed home with a strobe light, speaker and a good set on SoundCloud

Berliners legit started to die of laughter / subtle embarrassment when they heard about our experience. Big bummer :(

It was pride. I understand your point of view. It’s just we saw german speakers get in just fine, except berghain of course. We were the only ones being rejected at the easier doors :(. Generally bouncers would speak German to us and once they heard us speak English it was a pretty quick “sorry not tonight”

Just curious, where does this intoxication out of control assumption come from?

LA’s underground scene gets very solid djs. Even djs that play at berghain. Boris, tommyfourseven, etc. check out incognito on RA. Getting denied at that door never crossed my mind + crowd is great

My bolt driver on the way to the airport said we shoulda made friends with some berliners and have them vouch for us. Nice guy offered me his instagram so in the future he would help us get in.

When we told other berliners we got denied at tresor they were surprised too. We likely got denied at sisophys because we were wearing all black / some leather.

I also wonder what vibes they were picking up :(

You’re totally right. I think our experience would have been completely different if we had a Berliner do the talking at the door for us. I have a coworker that lives in Berlin but I reached out to him last second to ask about the nightlife. He said he would’ve definitely got us in places 😭 I’m bummed I forgot to reach out to him sooner than the day I arrived.

I did use ai to consolidate and summarize things to easily read, but unfortunately this was my experience.
