Named so because the original owner loved the cabaret sparkle of Berlin during the 1930s Weimar Republic, Berlin has been a dancing planet of glitter and glee in 1983.
Gay, straight, trans or bi (heck, you can even bring mom or dad) all are equally welcome at Berlin. Weekends are packed but you can honestly join a party nearly every night of the week here with music video dance parties, drag shows, stand-up comics and theme nights like New Wave 80's Night and Cosmix Fridays when you'll witness a multimedia melange of electro, house, industrial, techno, trip-hop and other genres. Drink specials are very affordable.
There are two bars, a dance floor, wild decor and a generally sunny attitude. Bring an open mind and heart to the Lakeview club just around the corner from Halsted Street and Chicago's Boystown neighborhood.
