The popularity of Berlin in recent years has led to the gentrification of many underground dance and afterhour scenes that go from artsy and hot to touristy and crap within the period of an editorial cycle. Still not great at managing a VIP door, Berlin tries to be a friendly first-come, first inside city where guest lists are non-existent and socialism reigns at the door. But Tausend is one of the few that have managed to become a bohemian hotspot without being overridden by a Timeout-touting mob.<br />&nbsp;<br />Lacking a proper sign or even an address, a shiny doorbell is the only street presence of Tausend, which means Thousand in German, located within a tunnel-like otherworldly space with reflective ceiling and circular metallic light fixture at the end of the room that looks like the Carrie-Ann sequence of Poltergeist after a few cocktails. A long bar straddles the main room arranged in black warp-around banquettes and cocktail tables on the opposite side open to all and rarely requiring bottle service except on busier weekends.&nbsp; <br />

Tips

Tube-shaped afterhours and dance romp in Berlin Mitte attracts upper-crust set of bohemian revelers to weekly special events, DJ shows and art events with tightly guarded door worthy of the difficult penetration.

Last Word

A moneyed art crowd shows off its fashion eccentricities through lively, dressy outfits most nights with drag queen, burlesque model and graffiti artists on arms of socialites and Berlin literary aristocracy.
