Overview
KitKat Club opened in 1994, pioneering Berlin's sex-positive nightlife culture long before it became internationally known. Founded by Austrian pornographic filmmaker Simon Thaur and partner Kirsten Krüger, KitKat established radical space where sexual expression, body liberation, and quality electronic music coexist without judgment. The club's infamous reputation often overshadows its musical credibility, but serious techno programming has always been central to the experience.
What distinguishes KitKat is its strict fetish dress code (Saturday only) and unapologetic celebration of sexuality alongside quality music. Expect latex, leather, lingerie, creative body art, or stylish nakedness - regular street clothes get rejected at the door. The venue features multiple dance floors, dark rooms, a swimming pool, and extensive chill-out areas where boundaries dissolve and inhibitions evaporate. This isn't a sex club with incidental music - it's a proper techno venue where sexual freedom enhances rather than replaces the dance floor experience.
The music programming maintains underground credibility, booking quality techno and house DJs who understand the unique atmosphere. Weekend sessions extend into legendary marathon parties where the crowd's uninhibited energy creates electric atmosphere impossible to replicate in conventional clubs. The sound system delivers proper punch, and the main floor sees serious dancing alongside other activities happening throughout the space.
Door policy is strict but fair - dress code compliance is mandatory, good energy matters, and respectful attitude toward others' boundaries is non-negotiable. This creates safe space where sexual exploration happens within community of consent and mutual respect. Entry runs €15-25. KitKat represents Berlin's most radical nightlife proposition - proving clubs can combine serious musical programming with complete sexual freedom, challenging conventional boundaries while maintaining underground techno credibility and creating legendary experiences found nowhere else in the world.
