Fitzroy Club

Fitzroy is a capacity-unpublished club in Berlin-Mitte, positioned beneath the S-Bahn arches beside the Spree. Its distinguishing feature is the meeting point between grassroots programming and deliberately equipped production: the club works with DIY-rooted collectives while maintaining a designed lighting rig and sound system. The result is a compact, scene-led room built for concerts and dancefloors, with workshops, fundraisers and panels also part of its regular life. Fitzroy is wheelchair accessible and smoke-free.

An empty warehouse becomes a club

Fitzroy opened in 2018 after its operators secured the lease on an empty warehouse next door to their earlier venue, then called Marie-Antoinette. The project became their second club, giving the team a separate room in which to develop concerts, club nights and community events across stylistic lines. Germany’s Music Information Centre lists the opening year as 2018 and describes a programme of roughly 150 concerts a year, focused on electronic music, hip-hop and pop, alongside workshops and musician-facing events made with LARK.

The adjacent venue’s own history marks a useful second date in the Fitzroy story: Marie-Antoinette became LARK in 2023. The two spaces continue as sister clubs, sharing a commitment to panels and skill-building activity with organisations including Clubcommission, Clubtopia, Music Pool and Stadt Nach 8. That pairing gives Fitzroy a role beyond a weekend dancefloor: it is part of a small independently run ecosystem under the arches.

The room today

Expect an open-door approach to genres and promoters, guided by work with niche communities and DIY collectives. Electronic music, hip-hop and pop provide the clearest programme anchors, while the venue also speaks directly to indie listeners, modular-synth devotees and club crowds. Physical character comes from its location under the railway arches by the river, plus the club’s wheelchair-accessible, smoke-free policy. The technical emphasis on lighting and sound suggests a production-conscious setting even when the billing arrives via smaller collectives.
