Hey Roosh,
Was in Berlin a few years back. Here's some of what I remember.
If you're in Prenzlauer Berg on a Sunday, I highly recommend the flea market. Lots of random trinkets being sold and girls love giggling at the old guys doing drunk karaoke at 3pm.
There's a free* walking tour that starts at the Brandenberg Gate and lasts about 3 hours. It takes you all around the Mitte area including the Reichstag, Luftwaffe building, Holocaust memorial, various churches and Checkpoint Charlie.
* Guides accept donations at the end, of course.
I missed the Tacheles era but they did still have some weird, cool art outside in the back of the building.
I found Mitte to have a very business-like and poshy vibe. If you're wandeirng around there, check out The Barn to get your cappuccino fix, one of the most famous coffee spots in Berlin.
Neukoln is quite hipstery, with a sizeable Turkish population. Weserstraße has a couple of dive bars. Very low key and grungey. I did see some gorgeous Turkish girls sauntering about. Neukoln Arcade would be great for daygame, but it's out of the way and has a very generic mall feel. Also note lots of college students live in this area.
Friedrichshain has a very East Village feel in the side streets but with massive Soviet era administrative buildings taking up the main street, Karl Marx Allee. Was a strangely epic feeling walking up and down there before going out. Lot of bars there, Berghain is there as was mentioned. Got in no problem rolling solo, just had jeans, boots and a hoodie. But 4 Russian guys ahead of me were suited up in 3 piece tuxes. Sven looked down and away, before you know it the Russian guys are flipping out. Try the Mate and Vodka, a crowd favorite.
Wilde Renate, also mentioned is a pretty interesting club. It's essentially an open apartment complex (complete with outdoor boat-swing) where every room (including kitchen/living room) plays different music. Within a few seconds you can go from hip-hop to rock to EDM to Balkan folk. Quality varies, no real face control so you get a pretty hipstery/fratty vibe. I had the best luck bumming smokes from some Serbians by the swings.
If you make it to Treptower Park, definitely check out the Soviet War Memorial. Talked to some Russian girls taking amateur model shots near the forests, very cute. The memorial itself is epic, lots of cool pix to be taken there.

Tempelhof Field is where the famous Berlin Air Lift occurred. I doubt it's happening around this time of year, but when the weather's nicer people play sports, have picnics and fairs. There are some more divey bars southeast of the airport.:

All in all, Berlin is a fun sight-seeing city. The quality I found there tended to be the transplants, especially from EE and Turkey. There's too much to do in 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months. It's a very sprawled out city, but have at it!
