Goodbye Watergate: Iconic Berlin Nightclub to Close Its Doors

Watergate, the iconic Berlin nightclub known for its cutting-edge electronic music and stunning waterfront location, is set to close its doors at the end of the year.

The closure marks the end of an era for Berlin's nightlife scene, as Watergate has been a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike for over two decades.

In a statement released on their website, Watergate management cited several reasons for the closure, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the nightlife industry, rising operating costs, and the desire to pursue new projects.

Watergate first opened its doors in 2002 and quickly became a cornerstone of Berlin's electronic music scene, hosting legendary DJs and unforgettable parties. The club's unique location on the banks of the River Spree, with its stunning views of the city skyline, added to its allure.

Over the years, Watergate has played host to some of the biggest names in electronic music, including Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Sven Väth, and Âme. The club has also been a platform for emerging artists, helping to launch the careers of many talented DJs and producers.

The closure of Watergate will be a significant loss for Berlin's nightlife scene, but the club's legacy will continue to live on through the countless memories it has created. Watergate's final events are scheduled to take place on December 30th and 31st, 2023, with a special closing party featuring some of the club's most iconic DJs.
