K17

FRIEDRICHSHAIN. While K17 is a little out of the way in Berlin's Friedrichshain district, it's a find for lovers of Gothic and Metal. The club is a complex of spaces in two warehouse buildings; one of which includes a large room that hosts local and international bands from the scene. A second building houses four floors of dark bars, playing a mix of metal, punk, industrial dance and new wave. The dress code welcomes leather, PVC and anything studded, but black will do nicely as well. U-BAHN & S-BAHN: Frankfurter Allee
