6Clärchens Ballhaus
This legendary Berlin dance hall celebrated its 100th anniversary in late 2013, perfect proof that good things never go out of fashion. Originally called Buehlers Ballhaus, it was renamed in the 1920s after Claerchen, one of its most beloved regulars.
There’s always a bit of a traffic jam at the entrance of Clärchens Ballhaus. That’s because once people enter Berlin’s most beloved dance hall, they’re often astonished by what they see.
Dark wood paneling covers walls flanked by candlelit tables and antique bars, and at the center of it all, worn by decades of shimmying and shaking, is the dance floor. If the doors are open, there are almost always people on it.
