Comment from Gérard, a visitor (September 2004): I had a short visit at the Ciemnia Club... I regret my visit. This men sex club nevertheless is well designed. It invites for adventure. But the welcome there is very unfriendly, esp. if you do not speak polish. The barman is incredibly unpleasant, not saying hello or good bye when you leave. You have only the feeling to disturb. Does he know how to smile or does he not like foreigners? Additionally to the entry fee of 7 sloty I paid, the prices for beverages is as double as generally in these kind of bars in Poland. I paid 16 zloty for 2 cola, which were even not cold. I advise not to visit this bar. Comment from Emery, a visitor (July 2005): Down an alley with a buzzer at the end of the alley. We went on a thurs night late, was a bit quiet. There is an entrance fee of six zloteys and then you get a ticket for your drinks which you pay when you leave. small bar, dark dungen like place, a couple of porn tvs and places to watch, then a darkroom with a couple of lockalbe cabins. A good selection of local polish boys. Comment from Andre, a visitor (August 2005): Has the Gerard been in the right Ciemnia? Very pleasant, nice looking, barman! And drinks for normal prices. (Beer 6 PLN) And above that great public. Especially Dominik, I'll won't forget you easily! Comment from Waldir, a visitor (Oktober 2005): I just visited this place in Krakow last night. And I had the opposite impresion of the other comment. The place is clean and the people are cool. Mixed ages, the barman was very friendly. The baverage prices very good. I really reccomend this place and will be back there every time i go back to this beautiful city. Comment from Stephen, a visitor (Februar 2006): I had a completely different experience from the other contributor. The barman spoke perfect English and could'nt have been more helpful. Recommended if you like cruise bars. Comment from Peter, a visitor (Februar 2006): I had a I went to Ciemnia a couple of times on my trip. I had a good time at this bar and i didnt think it was expensive, certainly not compared to London. There were different bar staff on each visit but each time they were friendly and welcoming, though i found it hard to talk to people because of the language problem. It was easy to find, with the directions from this site and busy on the Friday and Saturday. I didnt foool around in the club but there was action to had if you are looking for it.

Comment from Chad. a visitor (June 2004): The seven club is in my humble opinion the best gay venue in Cracow. This aussie went there on Fri and Sat night last week. Fri nights are heaps of fun with the emcee and drag queens giving real entertainment. Sat nights are also excellent with the place getting busy around midnight. They have just about the cheapest drinks in Cracow and the barman, tomek, is one sexy pole. One of the owners Aneta is also a classy lady. In fact all off the staff made me feel really welcome and the atmosphere is friendly. Comment from John, a visitor (July 2004): I visited Club 7 in July of 2004. Even though it was mid-week (I had come down by train from Warsaw on a Sunday) this club still had a decent size clientele. Everybody spoke to me and made me feel very welcome. They invited me to join in their games -eg. electronic darts, and we all had a good laugh until the small hours. If you go to Krakow, make Club 7 your first port of call - you will love it so much you might not want to go anywhere else in town. Comment from Scotty, a visitor (January 2005): We had a really great time at this underground and sort of `covert` bar. Once you ring the bell and get door approval by the bouncer (which was pretty easy unlike several Warsaw clubs) it was smooth sailing. Very friendly staff and everyone seemed to be having a good time. We found the drink prices to be excellent and the most inexpensive so far on our Polish adventure. There was a strip show while we were there and needless to say it was quite interesting. Certainly worth a visit while you`re in Krakow. Comment from Mariet, a visitor (January 2005): We visited this club last week with a friend of mine. Great atmosphere, friendly waiters and a mixed and nice crowd. Enjoyed this one very much, although the show was not that spectacular. Comment from Nelson, a visitor (January 2005): Nice place, quite dark and funny transvestite show. Difficult to find the right door. Comment from Paul, a visitor (May 2005): While I was somewhat hesitant because of the previous review, I went nonetheless. I was most pleasantly surprised. There must be a new bartender as this one, very cute by the way, was most helpful. He welcomed me and made a point of speaking with me during the course of the evening. I also met several men there, one of whom I spent quite a good portion of the evening with. He was an ex-pat back in Krakow visiting. I would highly recommend this club. If for no other reason than that the men were hot and very friendly! Comment from Emery, a visitor (July 2005): I went early to Klub 7 on a Weds night, great cellar bar, lots of space and right behind the fruit market. You have to buzz to get in, and when we got there, they made sure that we knew that this was a gay bar. had a few drinks, met some locals and then had to head ot to meet some other straight friends. Comment from Mark, a visitor (November 2005): Good atmosphere, slightly small and not very bust. Comment from Siggi and Toggi from Iceland, visitors (April 2006): I was surprised how much gay life is in Cracow and specially at 7 Klub. Very nice manager Przemek and also the bartender Andreas was very good and made us feel welcome the crowd there was mixed but cute boys and nice men (mixed club). Even the lesbians were nice. The service there is extraordinary and we felt really welcome and we will surely want to come back. Thank you.
