Fitzroy is a distinctive nightclub located at Holzmarktstraße 15, 10179 Berlin, Germany, carved out within the dynamic and ever-evolving Holzmarkt complex along the Spree River. Established in the mid-2010s, Fitzroy emerged as an artistic response to the changing landscape of Berlin's nightlife, following the closure of similar experimental venues due to urban redevelopment. The club was born from collaborations between local artists, performers, and nightlife enthusiasts, embodying the spirit of inclusivity and boundary-pushing creativity that Berlin is renowned for.

Initially operated as a multi-use event space, Fitzroy quickly established itself as a hub for contemporary dance, electronic music, avant-garde performances, and immersive parties, earning a reputation for its open-minded programming and support for both established acts and underground creatives. The venue is also noted for its intimate, industrial aesthetic, with raw, minimalist interiors that offer a stark yet inviting backdrop for nocturnal gatherings. Over time, Fitzroy has adapted its spaces to accommodate changing artistic needs, but it has remained at Holzmarktstraße 15, reinforcing its roots in the alternative culture scene of the Holzmarkt cooperative, which is itself a successor to the legendary Bar25 and KaterHolzig collectives that shaped Berlin’s post-reunification nightlife identity.

Through its collaborations with organizations such as Berlin’s Freischwimmer and engagement in local festivals and art projects, Fitzroy has contributed to maintaining the city’s underground edge in the face of rapid gentrification and commercialization. Notable artists who have performed at Fitzroy include international acts such as The Field, Atom™ (Uwe Schmidt), and Jan Jelinek, as well as acclaimed local figures like Thomas Meinecke, Gudrun Gut, and DJ Marcelle/Another Nice Mess. The venue has also hosted performances and club nights featuring collectives and labels including Raster-Noton, PAN, and Monkeytown, along with a steady stream of experimental musicians, electronic DJs, and multidisciplinary performers from Berlin’s thriving arts communities.
