seriously man think about what you are saying:eek::eek::eek: The Hacienda is widly renowned as being the best and most famous club of all time, no other club with the exception of Studio 54 (different era) comes close

A little bit of an exaggeration surely? Widely renowned amongst the Old skool ravers surely, but you'd be hard pressed to find a dance enthusiast under 25 who would say that the Hacienda was better than Berghain.

I mean, do you expect people who were never old enough to go to the Hacienda are going to say that it's the best of all time?No.I'd say in 10-15 years it will be remembered as a fantastic club but hardly "The best of all time".Same with Berghain.

What you fail to realise is that The Hacienda was at the forefront of the Acid House scene and is widely recognised as being the catalyst that brought Rave to the masses,it is recognised as the best ever club,even big name DJ's will acknowledge that, it wasn't just a club, it was an institution that people to this day (even those who were never there regardless of age) talk about, there have been books, films, documentrys, countless DJ Mixes, worldwide tours,etc,etc all about the Hacienda, so if you are seriously trying to suggest some new "hip club in Berlin) is better than a legendary club like the Hacienda then my friend im sorry but that is amongst the most craziest things ive heard regardless of your age!!!

everything you wrote there can be applied to Tresor if you replace acid house with techno and id be pretty sure theres an equivalent club for every major genre of dance music, so saying it is recognised as the best club ever is stretching it a bit far. Fair enough you think its the best club ever but it certainly is not THE best club there has ever been, i dont think theres any club that can take that mantle because there is not 1 club that has/is catered to everyones tastes.

I'll agree you to an extent that Tresor could be recognised as one of the best ever Rave clubs no doubt about it and Germany and Belgium when it comes to Tchno in Europe was/is what's it's at, but the Hacienda wasn't just a club, it was the catalyst for the scene we have today,it's not just me though it's widely recognised by everyne from top DJ's to media to normal punters.:)

Seriously, tell me what the fuck mental about it? If your homosexual it goes without saying but in fairness, you, like most people in this thread, are making it out to be some sort of heaven on earth. Its actually pissing me off - acting like a bunch of little girls yapping on about some new hip club....

john2984 · 19-10-2009 12:46am

Does the terrace at Space come near either of these 2 clubs?

Surely it must

Hawk Wing · 19-10-2009 3:09pm

No big deal I found. Very good no doubt. For sheer atmosphere, The old Tresor, Sir Henrys and the likes of Space were just as good imo, different strokes for different folks and all that

john2984 · 19-10-2009 10:10pm

Yea personally dont know how anything could outdo the terrace at Space. But i'd be willing to investigate!

trust me i am anything but hip, i just like alternative electronica and venues, i hate commercialism period and that represents Ibiza for me, Berghain looks like a delapidated building(power plant) but inside is pretty cool, - i just think its cool and i am very far from gay

Im going to have to make a trip over to Berlin. Only been to Germany once and that was for Time Warp.

Kinda reminds me of the "Blood Bath" nightclub scene from that Blade movie:

Zascar · 20-10-2009 9:00pm

Holy crap those photos are amazing, definitely want to try to get over and experience it for myself

FLYNN-DOG · 20-10-2009 10:04pm

More the standing up to rock starts bit...or did you decide my joke wasn't funny enough to acknowledge?

empirix · 21-10-2009 9:02pm

there will be a lot of clubs open, i have really only went at weekends, amazing city, very interesting and lots to do during the day,also great for shopping and of course the one and only schneiders beuro - its a very big city though also has some excellent strip clubs:D but seriously - do some research before going over on what clubs you want to go to etc,it will save a lot of hassle

jonny68 · 21-10-2009 10:01pm

Looks very raw and industrial the way i like it:D although i think their door policy is elitist (are they trying to be like Studio 54 or something:p:D)

changed flights, figured why not, dying to go to Berghain and hopefully get in! If anyone wants a return trip to berlin in jan for free i'd be more than happy to give it away to someone who'd want to go...

FLYNN-DOG · 21-10-2009 10:22pm
