What reviewers say

Some visitors praise the venue as a nice and cozy salon with elegant gloryholes and friendly staff. However, others complain about the dark room, older clientele, and a lack of people, particularly on certain nights, with one reviewer noting it was a better fit for those interested in trans individuals rather than gay men.

About this place Manhattan Biograf

Manhattan (Biograf Manhattan) at 49 Hantverkargatan on Kungsholmen has been a discreet adult cinema and cruising club since the 1980s, drawing a mostly older, male crowd for late‑night and afternoon sessions. The building opened as a neighbourhood cinema in 1935 and switched to adult screenings in the 1980s. Today it markets itself as a low‑key social spot, and its walls still echo the 1930s architecture. Inside you find a handful of private booths, a darkroom, a video lounge, and a cruising lounge. There's no bar or music program, so the focus stays on the people. The club is open daily from noon until midnight, except on Christmas Eve. Entry costs 150 SEK; a discount card and optional membership give you a better rate. The crowd skews male, older, and regular, with the busiest times in the evenings and on weekend afternoons. Opening at noon makes it the only Stockholm cruising venue that works as a winter‑afternoon plan. House rules are posted at the door and online: no photography, respect a no, and stay in the designated areas. Condoms aren't supplied, so bring your own. Google reviews average 3.9, citing aging facilities more than safety concerns. Nearby indoor spots include Blue Vision and US Video, a ten‑minute and a twenty‑minute walk away.

Terrible place, you pay €14 to enter a venue with a dark room. The staff isn't very friendly, and the clientele is definitely older. We were the only ones under 40.
