Berlin is 'the' German city for a night out. Given the city's recent history there are still many things to discover but the party scene is quite young and always on the move.
You'll find everything from sleek and stylish to grungy and underground. Here is a list of expressions to help you keep track of the party slang. But be careful, it's like the scene: Heute in, morgen out. What's 'in' today is 'out' tomorrow.

(* = familiar, ** = very familiar, *** = vulgar, s = slang, Lit. = Literally)
