I've been to the Berghain - got in once and turned away once

it is the most difficult door in the world. Basically you just need to not be in big groups, not be in just only groups, not speak loud, not speak english, not look too drunk or on anything, and not dressed up in the slightest.

It's incredible once inside and I'd recommend it to anybody who likes that sort of music, but there's plenty of other places to check out with much more relaxed doors if you get turned away - Tresor is really good too and you're pretty much guaranteed to get in.
