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
