Prince Charles
Tucked into a converted swimming pool, Prince Charles is one of Berlin’s most iconic nightlife destinations—blending the gritty charm of underground clubbing with a vibrant, inclusive atmosphere. With a music lineup that spans house, hip-hop, disco, and live jam sessions, it’s a haven for both hardcore partygoers and casual music lovers. Signature events like Horse Meat Disco and Burgers & Hip Hop are crowd favorites, drawing diverse audiences into the club’s retro-modern space, equipped with Funktion-One sound and tasteful lighting effects. The club is known for its spacious dance floors, multiple bar areas, and a dedicated smoking courtyard. While the vibe is energetic and music-forward, it’s also lauded for its safety and security thanks to friendly yet alert staff—Gina from Hood Security, for example, is a name mentioned in glowing reviews for her respectful but vigilant presence.
