Why it stands out
The club that kept its building
A club that kept its building: a ten-year lease signed in December 2025 and a full reopening in April 2026, with floors that look like rooms in a house rather than a warehouse.

Renate
Five floors in a rambling old house
01The experience
A house, not a warehouse
Renate is laid out like a building someone kept adding rooms to: separate floors, small decorated spaces and corners that look nothing like the room you just left. The photographs on this page are the club's own.
The club came close to losing the building. Renate received a ten-year extended lease in December 2025, reopened properly in April 2026 after a soft reopening in January, and now runs under the line “here for a good time, here for a long time”.
Plan your night
Admission & reservations
Renate runs its own door and entry. KONNEKTION does not take table bookings here — Berlin club nights are standing, door-and-ticket events.
02The setting
Every room decorated differently
One floor is neon and geometric, another is yellow with a chequerboard floor and a velvet chair, another is small and pink. The decoration changes with the programme rather than staying fixed.
Renate runs several floors on a club night, each hosted by a different crew, with its own line-up on the published listing.
03Your visit
Twenty-one, with ID, and no cash
Renate states that admission is from age 21 and that a valid government ID is required. The club is cashless and accepts card payments only.
Some Renate nights are themed and the club is explicit about it — for its costume events it states “No Effort, No Entry”. Read the listing for your date before deciding what to wear.
04Music & atmosphere
Klubnacht, and a free winter programme
Renate's weekends are built around Klubnacht, with each floor hosted and listed separately. New Year's Eve has its own larger programme across five floors.
From Friday 13 November the club also runs “Our House Is Your House”: free early events on the Green floor, Fridays 18:00–22:00 and Saturdays 16:00–22:00, free until 20:00 on Saturdays, where staying on for the Klubnacht costs nothing extra. The Renate Garden is closed for the winter.
