The Bootshaus is notorious for its sound system, which - according to urban myth - is supposedly one of the best in Europe. Almost every weekend, friends of techno, electro and goa music make a pilgrimage here and party like there's no tomorrow. It feels like there are countless floors here and the club seems so big that you can almost get lost in it - a complete immersion into the night.

For those who prefer the fresh air, there is also an outdoor area.
