Darkness Club is a men-only cruising club at Via Santa Margherita 27A, in the Stampace quarter of central Cagliari. It opened in 2016 and calls itself Sardinia's first cruising club. It runs as a private non-profit association in the ARCO network, so entry needs an ARCO membership card and you must be 18 or over.

Nice place, unfortunately not very crowded (I visited it between October and November anyway), I will return anyway... Pleasant atmosphere and very very kind staff!

Honestly I was there the Friday night 18/10 and had an amazing night and the staff were very friendly and informative on how the place worked. I then returned on the 19/10 both nights with a mate of mine. I was subjected to a racist attack by another customer. The staff are absolutely not trained on how to handle such situation and it's such a let down. To have an ugly local openly be so racist to a population of 1.6 billion people is shocking on its own but the staff need to be trained on how to handle similar situations. Places like this that depends on every single euro cannot put themselves in a position of being unfair or unprepared. Despite the obvious racist attack that was witnessed by 3 people they allowed the guest to remain in the establishment. I'll never return and will escalate this further.

A very nice and intimate place. We came last year and were happy to return again this year. The staff is welcoming and helpful, as is the case with any other place in the area. You'll often meet interesting people from all over the world. Recommended for a pleasant, wild evening in the company of nice people. The prices are very fair and affordable.
