Cien Klub


Surely the best place for posing in Krakow? Cien is a lively player on the Krakow club scene that is becoming a must for those that like to dress up before they get down. Packed full of gorgeous plastic blondes you are as likely to spend most of the night gawking as dancing to the excellent Hed Kandi-style house. But girls aside there is some lovely decor, and plenty of attractive seating to take advantage of whilst you plan your mode of attack. If we were you though we wouldn't bother - there's far more entertainment to be had watching the drunk tourists and beefy Polish guys being shot down by these icy queens of the dance floor! Cien is a Krakow institution.

"I was on my stag do with my friends in Krakow last week and we went to Cien on Wednesday night. We had a great time there. Cool club. Cool decor. Chilled out vibe. We got chatting to a few guys/girls there who live in Krakow. They were very friendly even though we were foreigners. Midweek seems to be a fusion of current house anthems mixed with some old school dance classics and cheesy pop thrown into the mix. Strange mix yet it worked! We loved Krakow so much we are going back in September and will be looking at going to Cien on a Friday or Saturday night for a night of pure house electro. "

"A good marketing campaign seems like the only professional thing the club owners are able to. This club is by far NOT a very exclusiv club. Itīs more like average. A girl selecting guests at the door lets everyone in who looks newly rich. If you speak english, expect direct access, but also to get higher charged for entrance and for drinks than locals (Nothing new in KRK). Once your inside the cellar, have patience in waiting in long lines to go for a pee in sleazy mixed gender toilets or spend another 15 min before getting a drink at a small bar after elobow fights with some macho pigheads. People behave sometimes really rude and in the morning hours, the club is full of drunken tourists with fear being left on shelf. The music is mostly commercial house and hiphop at the 2nd floor played sometimes from records by faked DJs. International DJs are long way off. Survey: Lets keep up appearance and start your self marketing campaign in Cien!"

"Cien is Krakow's most exclusive club... so don't be surprised if it's 'hard' to get in to if you turn up looking anything other than the business..! It attracts the most beautiful crowd including Poland's rich and famous, and is home to some of the best DJs you're likely to hear. If you're short of money don't go there... it's exclusive... and the prices reflect that! Dress to impress and be ready to splash some cash and you'll have an amazing time! "

"I went with my brother in August and can't see why people are being so negative. The door staff are just like all door staff, if you're being an idiot you won't get in. If not you're fine. Inside is typical Krakow, lots of atmospheric basement rooms. I particularly liked the balconies around the tops. The cocktails were good and varied choice and seemed at the going rate for Krakow, the beer was well priced. I also liked the music and the crowd it attracts. I would recommend."

"I went to Krakow with my brother, we had no problems getting in. It helps if you are respectful, and knowing some basic Polish wont hurt either! (Czesch when you walk up and djekuje when we were let in was enough) In terms of the club itself, it was OK, not sure about some of the music choices in the dance/house room (Macarena? :S) but the RNB room was pretty cool and had a few nice looking chicks. If you are expecting to see supermodels or pornstar look-alikes however (as I was) then you may be disappointed as the girls were just normal looking…nothing spectacular. "

"whoever liked the club propably haven't been anywhere else.The staff at the door is extremely rude and unprofessional thugs.Although they're clearly got " we dont like English " policy as my English speaking friends told me.The same applies to anyone else who for some reason that little bitch at the door will dislike. I didn't have a problem of getting in, but at the entrance I stood there with my boyfriend, and all of them were looking at us for two minutes deciding whether to give us a fovour by letting in.And when she finally open the gate we`ve changed our mind.That was enough.There are better places to go with a friendly staff with the right attitude.Whatever the owner is thinking??? The entrance is the face of the club!!!! If you have a bunch of rude ARSEHOLES (BURAKI I GOWNIARA)on the door whatever is inside is irrelevant.Its embarassing,SHAME!!! DON'T GO THERE!! they should learn how to operate profesionally.The staff at the door spoiling everything for this place!!! "

So many people complains,and he's not changing anything.I haven't been let in once with my friend(looking nice and been sober)just becase of speaking english.Next time i've got in and when tryed to complain to the superwiser inside only discavered that the prick is the boyfriend of that bith on the door.He refused to listen and just laugh at me.The owner's probobly can't speak english,or just an unproffesional idiot if he puts such a retards on the entrance.So DON'T go there!!He will be soon left with only them,and an empty place.There are so many better places in Krakow.The best is RDZA!!!! and remember CIEN club is SHIT !!!

"Cien is one if not THE best club in Krakow if one appreciates typical club / techno music. The location is exciting, but not very different from many other beautiful underground places in Cracow. As for the door staff, I am living in Cracow now for more than 18 month and never had any issues with them. In fact, they are very friendly provided that you are not behaving like a typical (especially american) tourist. Be less full of yourself and show respect - not only at Cien."

"Getting in is a problem for most. I advise you go early and dress to impress! We went on a Thursday and made sure we left saying goodbye to the door staff, which probably helped us to get in on Saturday. Another point, you should try and get in with small mixed groups, a group of men have little chance. Once in the place it's fantastic, it's like a dungeon with loads of different rooms and a few styles of music depending on the night, the women amazing and believe me the best looking in women in Poland end up in Cein, the drink is still cheap compared to the UK. I advise the White Russians! If you get in enjoy, otherwise there is alway Frantic, opposite Mac D's! "

Yes there were girls, but there were also a lot of "poser" guys after them. Case in point: one guy was wearing sunglasses in the club. Please!!!! I had to laugh. I would say ok place for a good night out, but donīt expect to find the best club ever. Enjoy. Also...door policy...I never had problems. I think you just have to be patient and dress stylish."

On Friday night, we had a little qeue, but without saying anything, we were invited to entry. But on saturday night, the same lady who attended the door, refused our demand. I can not understand what we did bad. I would like to know what's the selection guide. and with so many people wanting to get in, why don't you put a price? "

"We were walking around on fridaynight the 18th of August, looking for a nice club to enter. We bumped into Cien Club and decided to look around and see if it was worth visiting (we didn't know anything about this club). There was a small queue in front of us. We needed some persuasive powers to get ourselves (9 men) in. We got in because all of us were well dressed I think. It took us some time, but when she noticed we were good looking nice guys, she allowed us in. Once inside we were astonished! Although my visit is 6 days ago, I am still in awe about this club. It's by far the best club I've ever been too. Everywhere I looked I saw girls that were dressed up like they have just visited a cosmetist. And all of them were dancing like they were born to dance. The club itself was very well decorated and looked cool and cosy at the same time. The music was _very_ good. Perfect dance music. I noticed that even while I was comfortly sitting down in the lounge area, the music demanded my body to start moving to the beat. My experiance and opinion is: From all the clubs I've been to in Krakow, this one is by far the best. And I've been there for 7 nights seeing lots of clubs. If you are planning to get in, look at your very best, be nice to the girl at the door and who knows you are allowed into this well of joy!"

We asked kindly to let them in and it was no problem. Bouncers agressive?! No, even not to people who wanted to diskuss. People very pretty, but superficial! But arenīt we all a little superficial by judging them by their look?! As i wrote before, we had a perfect night!!

"We were visiting Krakow for one night and club-hopping. Decided to go to this place as have hear that it's a nice place to dance late night... Judging by the treatment we got at the door, any "upmarket club" aspirations that this club may have are absolutely ungrounded. We were not let in even though we had a reservation made by our hotel for the VIP room(they told us that reservation at their club are "indicative" only and don't guarantee entry - why do they bother at all to make them anyway?)The "bouncers" were very aggressive, pushing my husband out the door, and the lady selectioner was an absolute joke - rude and very unprofessional. With this type of "door treatment" and abundance of other places to go in the city, I think this club is hardly recommendable to anyone..."
