Tresor

Maybe I just chose the wrong night, but I went here at thursday 1AM. I was wishing it had some modicum of local vibe, but nooooooo — more than half of the club was infested with a single group of american exchange students from the same program. It was basically a huge house party that no one except the exchange students was invited to. Second floor like a boiler room had nice house/​lounge beats, but the first floor (underground) was just shitty.
¹¹⁄₁₀ would recommend for groups over 80 people to go for a house party.

I‘m a fan of trashier places in general but not so big fan of techno/​house, that‘s why i‘m giving 4 stars. The place itself is awesome and has this Berlin spirit, its quite big and laid back, with a casual feel and nobody will look at you as if you don‘t belong. Although i‘m not the biggest fan of that music, i liked it there because you can chill there and just enjoy the atmosphere.
Entrance is regular as any club like this one in Berlin (10−15euro).

The music was very heavy for me. Downstairs seemed like a dungeon. The upperstair was better but still the music was quite heavy. If you dont like techno, try another place

J’y ai passé le réveillon: une ambiance super sympa, un cadre au top, 3 salles qui ouvrent au fur et à mesure de la soirée.
Consommations pas chères pour un établissement de nuit.
J’y retournerai avec grand plaisir !

Absolutely most trash club I’ve ever been)) just don’t spend your money on this shitty club

Be warned. If you walk into Tresor at night, there a VERY good chance that you’ll end up walking out while people are jogging and breaking their fast. :)

Tresor is an institution. The main room downstairs has low ceilings, cages everywhere, and massive strobe lights set right at eye level. It’s actually the most disorienting club I’ve ever walked into, and it’s easy to find yourself bumping into walls, railings, stairs, etc. Worth the price of entry for that alone. The sound is massive as well, and the lack of vertical dispersion makes you really feel like you’re getting smacked in the face. Oh, and to get into this main room, you’ll walk through a windowless 30-​meter concrete tunnel that smells like 1991. There will be more hooligans and teenagers than other clubs. It’s cool though, don’t worry.

Une ancienne banque/​salle des coffres transformée en boîte de nuit. Bienvenue à Berlin. Fumée partout, trombi dans la tête, électro dans les oreilles, le Trésor arrive à vous faire perdre vos repères, surtout avec des consommations vraiment pas chères.
Le dj mixe derrière des barreaux.
Vous croiserez pas mal de nationalités.
10e l’entrée, n’oubliez pas votre pièce d’identité.
En tout cas, ça vaut le détour ;).

I really liked Tresor. They have the perfect Berlin nightclub atmosphere in a wicked facility. The dj’s are awesome and it feels like people are there for the music. It’s one of the biggest clubs in Berlin so kind of many tourists go there.

A great berghain alternative with just as much history regardless of location change. It’s dark and vast as expected and as it should be but the dance floor is cosy. There were two rooms one up the stairs and one in the basement accessible via a long tunnel. Land there and your in a strobe wonderland with epic techno. The crowd is varied, both older and younger congregate here. The bar staff were quick and efficient. While we didn’t stay long I’d love to come back and make a proper night of it.

It’s Tresor. Shady corridors and and loud beats of techno. Just as I like it. Although it was not too full at 7 am or so on Sunday, still great place for that atmosphere.

good techno club but I liked the upstairs bar better. downstairs the music gets really loud and oppressing and you have to be pretty drunk/​high to get through a few hours there ;) but the location is crazy, an ancient prison so it’s completely surrealstic ! quite easy to find, just next to Heinrich Heine U-​Bahn Station and next to the great KitKat club when you get tired of this one. one of the most easy clubs to get in in Berlin!

This is one of the great (and the loudest) Techno dance clubs in Europe. A real experience.

I love this place but it is definitely only for techno lovers. That said, the best techno club I’ve ever been to!

Entrée facile, vestiaire et consommations abordables, ambiance bon enfant … Une boîte berlinoise quoi !
La fréquentation est un poil trop touristique et l’ambiance sur la pente dangereuse de l’uniformisation mais bon finalement, comme c’est plus pratique de draguer en français, on se fait une raison et les lieux restent quand même bien déglingués, avec ce qu’il faut de couloirs, d’étages et de recoins pour pouvoir se faire oublier si nécessaire…
A tester si les deux heures d’attentes au Berghein vous font peur ou si vous n’aimez pas vous retrouver dans le noir entouré de punks et /​ou de SM.

Le Trésor est un bon compromis si vous né savez pas ou sortir et que vous êtes frenchy.
Ambiance dans une cave sombre, son de malade et quelques français qui pourront toujours vous guider dans cet antre fameuse pour sa qualité sonore
Les prix sont raisonnables et ça dépayse vraiment des clubs francais!
Carte d’identité demandé assez souvent aux jeunes.
Attention la consommation excessive de produits stupéfiants peut mener à la stérilité et à des crises identitaires. (Ou pas)

Couldn’t tell you much about techno — I’m more an indie girl — but I really loved this club.
Set in one of Berlin’s many factories, this unassuming building looks pretty ordinary by day, and by night it’s buzzing. Chilled out, dark, loud and winding like most of Berlin’s nightclubs, it delivers banging tunes.
If you’re into the technical side of music you’ll appreciate the clear sound systems, the rumbling bass and the constant thud of the music as it pounds through your body. Like a lot of Berlin’s clubs, you can feel the music vibrate through you. Dancers go into their own wee world in here, and my pal who loves her techno was a big fan.
The music was a mix of drum and bass, fast house music and some old techno, all of which were accompanied by the most incredible strobe display I’ve ever seen. The lasers literally engulf and consume your body. I wasn’t even drunk and the light show displays made me feel like I was tripping. It was absolutely tremendous.
Although Berghain and Watergate are probably the undisputed kings of Berlin’s clubbing scene, Tresor is up there with a great reputation, and still gives the new kids on the block a run for their money. A throwback rave and great for a night out. Don’t let sleazy guys ruin your night, ladies — to be honest, you’ll get that in any club across the world, so don’t let it put you off!

This is one scary, scary dungeon of a club. To be fair, we did go on a Wednesday night but it’s clear that Tresor’s glory days are over. Full of too-​keen tourists, untz-​untz techno and creepers.

It’s only good for the music… for everything else, go elsewhere.

Gary Beck, Mark Broom, underground nightclub, Berlin. I only spent a week in Berlin and went to a few clubs there, but I found Tresor to be truly unique. OG, awesome Berlin techno club — once the strobes hit and we were dancing it really felt like a rave scene in some 90’s movie, but who cares — the line wasn’t Berghain status, the second room was more than adequate, and although there were a few too many amped, shirtless dudes jumping up and down, the music totally warranted that kind of behavior.
Thanks for the wonderful evening, Tresor, see you next time I stumble through Berlin.

Tresor had some sort of mystique… or maybe it was just the over-​enthusiasm of a few guidebooks that inspired us to visit.
If I had to name the top clubs in Berlin from memory, I’d probably be listing Sage (which rocks), Maria am Ostbahnhof, the Matrix (never went to those two, not sure why), and Tresor – though I had forgotten Tresor’s name and the fact that I even ever went there until seeing the listing on Unilocal.The photos reminded me how much this club looks like a prison basement.
For some reason, it was supposed to be good, so a friend and I made the trek out one Friday or Saturday evening. She drank waaaay too much and we left early (like 1 am), and I’m sure our exit wasn’t completely uninfluenced by the pulsating techno music that left me with a headache for the next full day. I remember puking in the bathroom being involved, too.
I also had to wait over 15 minutes for a train out of there, which didn’t help matters.
Sorry, Tresor, I’m just not that into you.

The woman, a bunch of random German boys we met on the U-​Bahn, and I wound up here, leading to what would be my 3^rd greatest club experience ever. Reasonable-​ish drink (3 – 4 euro) prices. Best of all, you can just go down the street for booze and/​or donairs as you please (ahhhh Europe). Techno. Nothing but. Incredible house music until sunrise… something I’ll never get to experience in Canaduh.
Wow. Two stars from 7 reviews. Really? I mean, I know that the original location (that I never experienced) that had a garden is gone, and I could imagine the basement of a powerplant is pretty lame in comparison. But honestly, when night clubs in your home country are either brick boxes that have no history or exist on the main floors of office towers, you get pretty blown away by an interior of a nightclub that has myriads of nooks and crannies, and adapts to its space instead of the other way around. Other reviews seem to bitch about the clientele; we found them to be very chill and awesome to be around. But again, when you compare clubbers of any city to those in Calgary…
If there was this amazing night club with a garden that was sold off to investors, I’d be pretty jaded too; the same way I’m jaded with Canada’s homogeneous nightlife. If you love techno and hate the atmosphere of the Oakenfold mega-​club, let alone the top-​40-​mashup «genre» that defines the music within nightclubs in redneck cities, you will looooove it here.

En effet ils demandent indéniablement la carte d’identité à l’entrée. Mais peu importe finalement que vous l’ayez ou pas, si ils ont décidé de vous laisser entrer, ils diront «mais né l’oubliez pas la prochaine fois»…
Et sinon la salle du bas est dantesque: il m’est arrivé d’y aller et d’être enfumée sans interruption par les spots qui libèrent cette sorte de vapeur d’eau froide embrouillant les yeux et annulant tout repère: géniallisime. Enfin surtout lorsqu’on est bien bourré, on part dans un autre monde, et ca peut durer des heures.

Lune des meilleure boîte de Berlin, À FAIRE ABSOLUMENT !
Du très bon son, 2 salles énormes, toujours plein de monde, toujours de la queue évidement, tout ça dans une usine recyclée. En fait, le lieu a changé en 2005 je crois, avant c’était dans une ancienne banque (d’où le nom), mais là c’est tout aussi bien.
Une boîte bien berlinoise, unique au monde, comme on les aime !
Attention à né se perdre, c’est immense, restez groupés !

(Listed as ‘Kraftwerk Mitte’ but reviewing Tresor, the club underneath it.)
I came too late to Berlin to experience the original Tresor club (‘safe’ in german, it was in a bank vault apparently) but have been to its new home, beneath the Vattenfall power station, a few times.
If you like classic techno, and an industrial setting for your clubbing, this is it — the music pounds at you first as you make your way down a concrete corridor or up a heavy duty steel staircase, think the set for Alien3
I agree though with earlybird97 — the venue is really big, especially the upper room, and hasn’t been packed full when I’ve been (incl dave Clarke and Jeff Mills), so I guess is not what it once was.
I think Berghain has maybe taken Tresor’s crown as the Berlin club.

LA ou une des meilleures boites de Berlin
indescriptible, surréaliste, incompréhensible, inexprimable
musique FOLLE, mais FOLLE ! de la grosse minimale à devenir dingue
entrée 10 euros, le tout dans une vieille usine, ou un ancien établissement bancaire où on conservait les coffres (d’où le nom Tresor), on né sait pas trop
la grande baie vitrée qui donne sur l’intérieur de l’usine désaffectée, c’est très troublant, totalement dépaysant
né vous perdez pas dans le dédale de galeries souterraines et tunnels glauques
la meilleure salle, c’est celle du bas, mais n’hésitez pas à porter des bouchons pour oreilles
shots de téquila à 1,5 euros ! :)
TRESOR JADOOOORE

My first time at Tresor was the old Tresor, when I was 20 and met a turkish transvestite named See who tried to feed me drungs and dragged me into the safe room where I immediatelly had a panic attack and retreated to the beer garden.
The new Tresor doesn’s seem as fun or exciting as the old one, but when I did visit opening weekend it seemed to have a lot of promise. I was especially impressed with the lighting system (I’m kind of a club dork) and the layout has a definite warehouse feel. Plenty of crevices and crannies to get yourself into trouble.
