About this place Ciemnia Club

Ciemnia (Polish for "darkroom") is a men-only gay cruise club on Krowoderska street, a few minutes' walk north of the Planty gardens and Kraków's Old Town. It's a cruising venue, not a dance club: a small bar area leads into a dark maze with cabins. It gets going late and is busiest on weekend nights. The entrance is discreet, so expect to ring a bell. Bring cash for entry and drinks, keep valuables to a minimum, and treat a no as a no. The Facebook page is the place to check current opening nights and themed events.

God, the club is great. One of the best, if not the best, in Krakow. Especially Michaś. God. The care the people who work here take is simply excellent. He's constantly walking around, cleaning, and encouraging people to join in. He's a living promoter of this club. He helps with everything he can. I'll be coming here, even if it's just him.

I was at your club recently—the whole party was fantastic; I didn't expect such fantastic people and atmosphere. Unfortunately, the exception was the young bartender with curls. I haven't met such a loud and rude person in a long time. What's more, he wore headphones for half the evening, which looked very unprofessional and ruined the entire experience.

The staff at the bar always seemed to choose who they preferred to serve, which felt discriminatory and honestly came across as racist. I love going clubbing when I’m on holiday, but I’ve never experienced such unprofessional service before. We waited forever — almost dehydrated — just for two shots and a bottle of water. We were not the only non-locals waiting a very long time for drinks we were ready to pay for. The staff was extremely slow, and we say this as people who also work in gastronomy. On the positive side, the music was really fun. The DJs were really kind.
