The afterhour is a Berlin institution, the stretch when a night out refuses to end and carries on well past sunrise. In a city famous for clubs that barely seem to close, the afterhour is its own scene, with dedicated floors and parties made for those still dancing on Sunday morning. This tag collects Berlin locations that keep going when others shut.
Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg hold many of the clubs known for long sessions, while smaller bars around Neukoelln offer a gentler landing. Sound systems, tucked away courtyards and a relaxed door policy shape the mood, and the crowd tends to value the music over the clock.
Browse the venues below to find an afterhour that matches your stamina, from pounding techno to slower, deeper sounds.

Since 2002, Golden Gate has been located in an arch of the S-Bahn viaduct at Jannowitzbrücke. The premises belong to the railway, and trains run overhead. Upstairs, there are sofas and a piano; downstairs, techno and tech house play. As a techno club in Berlin, it operates consistently analog, as there is only a box office and cash payment.

For those who don't want to go straight home after work, Rotbart in Rixdorf is the perfect place. The bar on Böhmische Straße combines a cozy pub atmosphere with craft beer, high-quality cocktails, and a program that will keep you entertained all evening.

Club der Visionäre is a wooden structure on the Flutgraben with a single floor where a maximum of fifty people can dance. There are also jetties over the water, a willow tree above the dance floor, and its own pizzeria. Among Berlin's techno clubs, it is the smallest and has the lowest entry fee; Ricardo Villalobos became famous here.

The MS Hoppetosse is an excursion steamer from 1928, which was sunk in 1944, later salvaged, and in the nineties, cut into pieces and dragged to Berlin. Today it lies in Osthafen, with three decks, featuring Minimal House from the Club der Visionäre team. Of all techno clubs in Berlin, this is the only one where you can experience the sunrise while swaying.

IPSE is the open air club of the Berlin-Kreuzbergs's well-known Freischwimmer Restaurant, the club's direct neighbour.
