Wouldn't argue with Rambone's review, although if there was only one "9" there he was either very unlucky or very choosy LOL. I've been there 5 times now and while the girls cover a range of ages and tastes there have always been at least four young and slim girls with great looks, and normally around 8 or 9. I've also not noted it as being particularly smoky, or at least no more so than any club in Germany.
Incidentally, the girl with the full bush Rambone mentions was, I suspect, Mara - who is one of the hottest girls in the bedroom I have ever met - very inventive, very good at finding something to turn you on, gave me a brilliant 69 blow job to completion.
The best bit for me about Bernds is that the girls really do engage with you - all do great kissing, cuddling up, fetch you drinks (even if you're not showing much interest in them), give public blowjobs, try to make conversation and actually make you feel as if they enjoy being with you. And they're completely naked, which means (for me) they're endlessly fascinating to watch.
By contrast, I went to Goldentime on my last visit to Germany and everything is just cold and mechanical, most girls don't let you french kiss them, finger them, go anywhere near their ass, and some don't even let you go down on them. All they seem to offer is a lot of eye candy, a quick (and not very good) blowjob with a lot of simulated moaning on their part, and a peremptory fuck. Grab your money and run. It seemed to me GT is all about appearance, nothing about service. I was very disappointed with it.
There usually are a lot of old guys at Bernds, but there are some positives to that - it's good for your ego if you think you're the best looking guy in the room (not something I often experience!), they tend not to chase after the girls (so when the guy:girl ratio is high you still don't have to wait long to find yourself a girl), and the girls prefer to be with you rather than the older guys, so they're especially keen on getting you.
It's not a big club physically - but that adds to the fun, in my book - smaller, more friendly, more intimate. It feels like you're at a really great party in someone's house. GT feels like you're at the opening of someone's new corporate HQ, with a bunch of pitbabes there to liven up an otherwise boring occasion.
Bernds is now my club of choice in NRW. Nowhere else I've found comes close
