About this place Apollon Gay Club

Apollon, at Panenská 24 on the western edge of the Old Town, has been Bratislava's long-running gay club for close to 30 years, with a dance floor, drag shows and themed party nights. The city's official LGBTI guide still lists it. Its status is unclear in late 2026, though: Google now marks the club as permanently closed and apollon.sk no longer loads. Check Instagram @apollongayclub for a current programme before you go. When it was running, nights were Tuesday to Saturday and busiest at weekends.

Features

I've never been to such an empty party in my life. Despite the great location and venue, charging cash only at the door is a good way to discourage tourists from coming in. And with an amateur DJ who keeps clearing the dance floor, it's not surprising that the place stays empty.

The SBS approach is really worth mentioning. We arrived at the place at 02:40, while on Saturdays they are open until 04:00. We paid €7 per person for entry, we didn't even have time to order and we had to leave the place, since it is located in the city center and they can't be open as long as they say. So in two minutes in the place we paid full entry and after the police left I was even scolded for talking loudly about the opening hours. Never again, I do not recommend visiting this place.

Great music (like you can't please everyone, but you can dance and have fun). Good atmosphere and great service. Nice, helpful waiters.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have a great experience here. The staff felt quite unfriendly and unwelcoming, the venue had an unpleasant smell throughout the night, and the music was fairly mediocre. The atmosphere overall just didn’t live up to expectations.

Please set your current opening hours. If you are not open until 1:00, it should not be listed as such on Google Maps. I arrived according to the information provided and the business was closed. And not for the first time. It is unnecessary misleading of customers and a waste of time.
