The view on a balmy summer night is unrivaled. It’s worth visiting the GMF, which is housed in Club Weekend, for its large roof terrace with the view over Alexanderplatz alone. A party-mad gay crowd and their friends get together here every Sunday and really get fired up on both floors. If you want to cool down, the electro-pop party offers a special feature: the top and bottom floors are connected via a lift, because they’re located on different storeys. But that doesn’t lessen the party atmosphere at all: in fact, it makes the Weekend a unique party venue. Well-known DJs and drag queens from the Berlin scene regularly perform here. Every now and then, superstar Paul von Dyk also puts in an appearance to really raise the roof. Warning: the party here starts later rather than earlier!
