Why it stands out
A club that opens at five
Early evenings for two or three euros that turn into a club night on the same floors, by the river, with every room's line-up published ahead.

01The experience
Nights, lights and bubblegum
That is the line the club puts on its own site, where it now signs simply as Kater. It sits on the Holzmarkt site by the Spree, and its week runs from early evenings on a single floor to club nights that are listed until the following morning.
The early evenings are called Hot Mess: music on the Acid Bogen floor from around 17:00 or 18:00, with entry through the Holzmarkt and a small cultural contribution of two or three euros. On Fridays and Saturdays they run straight into the club night.
Plan your night
Admission & reservations
Kater Blau runs its own door and entry. KONNEKTION does not take table bookings here — Berlin club nights are standing, door-and-ticket events.
02The setting
Timber, river and railway arch
The photographs show the place from outside and in daylight: the sign at the entrance on Holzmarktstrasse, the bank seen from the river, the wooden deck. They are freely licensed pictures; the two from 2015 show the club in its first years.
The club names its floors in every listing: Hopper, Acid Bogen, Extra and ExtraExtra, with the Säälchen added for the largest weekends.
03Your visit
Tickets, and no recording
Club nights are sold through the ticket link in the club's own listing, which leads to Resident Advisor. Some long weekends are listed without an advance link.
The club states on its site that recording, and publishing recordings, is strictly prohibited. It also lists an awareness contact, and a lost-and-found hour on Tuesdays from 18:00 to 20:00 that it asks you to arrange by email first.
04Music & atmosphere
Katernacht, floor by floor
Saturday is Katernacht, listed from 22:00 to Sunday at 10:00, with a line-up for each floor. Fridays carry their own names and hosts. Every club night is published in advance with the artists for each room.
The programme is wider than club nights. The same site lists Nomadenkino film screenings, theatre and small concerts in the early evening, each with its own entry time and price.
