Wild Club
incomers from all over the world ran their untaxed trade. It was truly an exceptional place, one where you could purchase pirated movies and perfume, as well as a machine gun. All that now has been left of the old stadium is a socrealistic sculpture Sztafeta [Relay], placed next to Waszyngtona Avenue. Unfortunately, the tearing down of the past also brought about the fall of legendary bars where some of the citizens tasted for the first time in their lives the Vietnamese or Chinese cuisine. However, why do we even mention this place? As usual, the reason is original – during the PRL period next to the stadium, by the river, a row of latrines spread, around which true “tooting” flourished. One of the most popular places for “outdoor performances” was the space between the Poniatowskiego Bridge and the no longer existing Syreny Brigde – the area called “Kurwie Doły” [“Whore Pits”] in homosexual circles. This is where most of the robberies took place, or even murders on homosexual people who would come here for “outdoor performances”. The regulars of the place remember the cottage as horrible and reeking of chlorine, but boy, were things happening there. Nowadays nothing is happening, because Warsaw has turned away from Vistula River – no other capital in Europe has forgotten about its river as much as ours. One can of course take strolls along the banks, but it is nothing particularly pleasant – there are heaps of rubbish and noise coming from the Wisłostrada route; an obstacle course marked with leftovers of the old splendour. This is supposedly to change, but the citizens have been hearing such promises for years now. See also: ▶ Cottages

The club of an evocative name Wild moved here from Próżna Street, where it gained considerable status of a legend because of some spicy events that happened behind the closed doors, and which reportedly attracted large numbers, even female friends from suburban locations. Wild Club is the second sex club in Warsaw, after Fantom. Currently, the -1 level, which is dominated by male-male sex, is equal in size to the upper floor with a spacious bar and many sofas, where gentlemen sit before they dare to cross the curtain concealing the stairs to the underground of the Garden of Eden. Originally Wild was, shall we say, a “regular” sex club, but in response to customer demand it has undergone a gradual specialization – in this example it can be seen that the law of free market does not bypass the LGBT places. Today the club is recommended for all kinds of lovers of all kinds of fetishes – SM, bondage, discipline, spanking, FF, punk, jeans, leather, army, sports, rubber, sneakers, etc. In the twilight zone you will
