Kantine am Berghain is a distinct nightlife venue located in Berlin, Germany, operating as part of the larger Berghain complex—widely regarded as one of the most famous techno clubs in the world. Originally functioning as the cafeteria for the adjacent power plant, the space was integrated into the club’s roster of locations after Berghain's opening in 2004. Berghain itself took over a former East German power station in Friedrichshain, turning it into a techno mecca, and Kantine am Berghain evolved alongside it, serving as a more intimate and experimental counterpart to the main venue.

With a smaller capacity and a more stripped-back, industrial aesthetic, Kantine am Berghain has earned a reputation as a hub for avant-garde, live electronic performances, alternative genres, and multidisciplinary events that complement the harder techno and house focus of the main Berghain and Panorama Bar spaces. The venue has played an important cultural role by providing a platform for emerging artists, cross-genre collaborations, and community events, becoming a crucial node in Berlin's broader electronic and cultural scene. Situated on the same compound, Kantine am Berghain has maintained its original structure, retaining the utilitarian charm of the former canteen with only minimal renovations catering to acoustics and audience comfort.

While the location itself has not changed, its programming has evolved over time to include concerts, readings, pop-up gigs, and even experimental theater, further solidifying its reputation as a bastion for artistic innovation. The venue's significance is underscored by its open-minded bookings, which draw both international and Berlin-based talent, positioning Kantine am Berghain as an incubator for creative expression within the city's dynamic nightlife ecosystem. Notable artists who have performed at Kantine am Berghain include Aïsha Devi, Planningtorock, Laurel Halo, Lotic, Gazelle Twin, Debbie Sledge (of Sister Sledge), Ellen Allien, Holly Herndon, Oren Ambarchi, Andrea Belfi, Gudrun Gut, and Perera Elsewhere, as well as local luminaries such as Ahnst Anders, Clara Moto, and various experimental acts associated with Berlin’s underground and electronic scenes.
