General rules:
- German not required
- looking arabic/indian/african... is usually a disadvantage (going with locals and/or looking upper class helps here)
- going with an attractive girl is not necessary however it almost guarantees entry
- (big) male groups no-go
- going alone is uncommon however shouldn't be a problem with the right style and vibe
- being polite, confident and not drunk is important
- going early is an advantage, especially when without female company, however it is no guarantee to get in
- suiting up is not too common, however obviously you should dress nicely, jeans + blazer or nice shirt should be fine
- stricter door policies in the big cities
- as far as I know slipping cash to get in is uncommon
- asking for entrance prices or trying to negotiate at the door reduces your chances to get in significantly (once inside how much you actually spend is not so important...)
- getting declined can just be bad luck sometimes, never argue with the bouncer, stay positive and polite and try another venue
