Ritter Butzke

3.8 (2,443)$$ · Mid-range

Ritter Butzke is an established multi-room club in Kreuzberg that regularly books both DJs and live acts across its various spaces, giving it a broader musical range than a single-genre techno venue. It has a loyal following for its main rooms and bar area, though its overall crowd management and door decisions have drawn some safety-related criticism in reviews. Its middling scores across categories mark it as a solidly popular, mainstream Berlin club rather than a standout underground destination. It suits visitors looking for a loud, high-energy night with name bookings over an intimate or curated one.

What people say

"Had a great night here at the Fatboy slim gig. Great vibe in the main rooms and the bar. Was hella loud so bring earplugs if you're sensitive. Also was really packed in at the start of the FBS set so we went back to the bar before returning when it was a bit easier to get in later. The guys behind the bar were great."
