Polygon

Friedrichshain


New owners have given the former Kosmonaut a seriously pimped-up look and a slick new sound and light concept. The action spreads across three dance floors to a stylish main bar and through a warren of rooms to a little garden.

The owners' long-established gay party series, B:East, runs monthly.
