Where Berlin parties most glamorously, the celebrities are never far. Between film shoots, premieres and fashion events, stars are regularly drawn to the city's hottest clubs. At The Pearl in Charlottenburg, Justin Bieber, Rita Ora and Mike Tyson have already turned night into day, and at the Bar Tausend in Mitte, Leonardo DiCaprio is said to have partied. Even the Berghain, where the location and the music are actually the stars, has had prominent visitors with Lady Gaga. From the Weekend Club with its panoramic view to the club restaurant Spindler & Klatt on the Spree, the density of famous faces is high. In which of these clubs would you most like to go VIP-hunting?

I won't claim I go for the celebrities, but a famous face at the bar makes the evening more exciting. At the Bar Tausend I looked around, at the Weekend Club I danced above the rooftops. For this list I went where Berlin turns glamorous. These ten clubs are my favorites for VIP watching.
Charlottenburg, right on Fasanenstraße near Ku'damm: The Pearl represents high-class nightlife in the western part of the city, where dress code, Dom Pérignon Lounge, and an LED dance floor attract a crowd of celebrities, socialites, and international guests.
Every Thursday "The Pearl" hosts an afterwork party and enriches Berlin's club scene with a black music party on Fridays.
Behind a plain steel door under the S-Bahn tracks of Friedrichstraße in Berlin-Mitte lies one of the capital's most legendary celebrity clubs. Bar Tausend stands for selective door policy, excellent cocktails, and a clientele that prioritizes style over status.
The GRACE Bar at Hotel Zoo Berlin on Kurfürstendamm is Charlottenburg's most glamorous address for stylish night owls. The interior, designed by US designer Dayna Lee, evokes the lifestyle of the Roaring Twenties, while Hollywood stars like Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis have long been regulars.
Below the Hilton Hotel on Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin-Mitte lies one of the city's most famous celebrity clubs: BRICKS. Brick walls, hip-hop sounds, and a dress code that means "smart & elegant" attract students as well as celebrities from sports and entertainment.
High above the rooftops of Mitte, the Weekend Club sits on the 15th floor of the former Haus des Reisens building, directly on Alexanderplatz. Those who party here do so with an unobstructed view of the TV Tower, a 37-meter long bar, and a guest list that ranges from Karl Lagerfeld to George Clooney.
Between Kreuzberg and Mitte, high above Anhalter Bahnhof: The SOLAR Sky-Bar is perched on the 17th floor of the Excelsiorhaus, offering a 270-degree panoramic view over Berlin. Since 2005, it has attracted celebrities from all over the world, as well as the Berlin nightlife crowd who appreciate style and views.
Berghain in Friedrichshain is Berlin's most famous celebrity club and a legend of the global techno scene. Those who get in will encounter celebrities, resident DJs, and a superlative sound system. The queue outside is almost as famous as the club itself.
In the airy heights of the 20th floor of the Europacenter celebrities like Beyoncé and German stars Oliver Pocher and Günter Jauch have had a bash.
Cafe Moskau on Karl-Marx-Allee in Berlin-Mitte is no ordinary club. The listed GDR building from 1964 attracts celebrities from sports, film, and music, as well as anyone looking for an extraordinary location. History and Berlin nightlife in one building.
