About Instytut

Instytut Bar in Warsaw is an absolute must-visit if you're looking to dive into the city's cruise club culture. Tucked away in the heart of the city at ul. Prosta 2/14, just a stone’s throw from the central station, it’s perfect for those who want to experience a vibrant yet intimate spot. This venue strikes a balance between a relaxed social vibe and something a little more adventurous. With its spacious layout, you’ll find an excellent cocktail bar, comfy spots to chill, and, for those feeling bolder, a 200-square-meter darkroom for the full cruise club experience. What makes Instytut stand out is its dedication to a comfortable, judgment-free zone for everyone. Whether you’re there for the high-energy parties or to relax with friends, it caters to a variety of tastes. It’s open every day, with extended hours on weekends, and frequently hosts themed events, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists looking for that quintessential Warsaw nightlife. Don't forget about the twin ticket that offers access to both Instytut and the nearby Heaven sauna for a night of total indulgence! This venue is a cornerstone of Warsaw’s growing LGBTQ+ scene​.

Okay I cannot say enough good things about this spot. Slawa is the most amazing bartender. Kamil it's amazing as well. I've only had the chance to be here three times during my visit to Warsaw. However I know it's a sex club. If you just want to hang out and have a great time, just go to the bar and talk with Slava and Camille and you'll have an amazing night. Seriously they are the best part of this entire place and I hope the owners appreciate that they have incredible employees. I'm very happy to recommend Institute Bar to any other gay/LGBT+ person and even straight people who want to have a great time.

Great place , perfect for trying the local aubergines, peaches... a lot of these , fresh milk and cocktails of course. The horse trading party is worth it to try something different.

Large and spacious bar. There are many dark rooms, and in the basement there is a large hookup area. The place is fairly clean. If you drop by late (after 2 a.m.), there are usually only a few people. However, sometimes—especially during events—it gets very busy, with people of various ages. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Prices, both for drinks and entrance, are also very good. I’m not giving it 5 stars (if it were possible, I would give 3.5) because if you arrive late, when there are only a few people, the entrance fee is still the same. Also, what is most disappointing is that there are neither lubricants nor condoms available in the dark rooms, which is standard in most European cruising bars. In addition, although the listed weekday opening hours are until 5 a.m., they often start closing as early as 3 a.m. In any case, I highly recommend visiting this place! Whether you come with very sexual and crazy intentions or simply with friends to have a drink at the bar.

Friendly waiters. But guys there pretty low level. And old. A sad place to be. No surprise, darkrooms are an outdated concept.
