ID Club
ul. Karnigradska 196 (junction with bul. Vitosha)
Sofia, Bulgaria
www.idclub.bg

The newest and most popular mix club in Sofia. Located in the top centre of the city, ID club is open every day except Sunday and Monday. Each evening is offering specialized parties, please check with club’s web site for recent program.

The place is crowded on Friday and Saturday evenings. On Tuesday there is usually live pop-folk performance featuring popular Bulgarian singers. Such evenings attract a lot of people and without having a reservation you might be denied entry. Reservation is free of charge by calling the phone number specified above.

In the late hours (usually after 2 a.m.) the darkroom is getting full. Some evenings there is a lot of action in the darkroom, but usually this is not a regular activity, so if your first visit is disappointing try another evening and you might have luck. This place attracts all type of men, but is preferred by younger people with fashion clothes. If you are dressed cheaply do not expect to draw any attention.

Entrance fee is usually 5 BGN, except on Thursdays when the entrance is free. There is a wardrobe available where you can have your clothes stored for 1 BGN. However recent experience shows that the wardrobe is not operating during the summer months, because people are not coming with jackets (explained by staff).

The bath house of Pancharevo is very famous among the gay community in Sofia. Pancharevo is a village (now neighbourhood) approximately 15 km from the city centre. There is public transportation available, but it is recommended that you go there by car or with a taxi.

The bath itself is relatively small, compared to other bath houses listed on this site (for example bath house of Blagoevgrad). The room with lockers has somehow unpleasant smell to which you will get used quickly, but initially it might be irritating. The entrance fee has been recently increased to 3 BGN, which is quite a lot for such a place, and many visitors have discontinued their regular baths there.

Actually the bath house offers you common bath (where you are showering with everyone) and separated cabins with bath tubes. Cabins are not recommended if you are alone and looking for men. It is recommended that you first go to the common bath and afterwords if you fall in love with someone you could hire a bath tube and have a good shag.

Keep in mind that the bath closes at 7 p.m., but the staff will start emptying the pools at 6 p.m. The common bath room is not suitable for action as there are no spots where you can hide.
