Obsession


A strip club on the square, whose staff bother you with leaflets incessantly from the moment the sun begins to drop (and recently even at lunchtime). We've heard so many complaints about the prices of drinks and the behaviour of the women, bar staff and doormen, that we advise you to do as we do and avoid this place like the plaque. If you do decide to visit, make sure that you do your business in cash and keep the credit card in your pocket to save any confusion or misunderstandings later. If you need a lawyer, it might not be a bad idea to ask here too - they seem to know the law better than the local government.

NOTE: Police raided the Obsession club around 02:00 on the morning of July 1, 2017. Initial results of tests of the drinks seized suggest that they contained psychoactive drugs. See our blog for more details of the raid and for follow-up stories. Those held in the raid were all released without charge and police enquiries are ongoing.

3 days ago I was also in Gdansk and at the evening I got in an conversation with a nice young girl on the street. She recommended me a strip bar just 1 minute away from there and I know that these clubs are famous for rip-off. But It was my last evening in Poland and I had still a few hundreds of Zloty and wanted to get rid of them. Moreover I had already drunken a few beer, so I came a little bit in mood, but I was 100% sure that I will be very careful and just drink 1 or 2 beer there and that this will not be enough to get real drunken,so that I have everything under control there. So, I came in and ordered 1 beer and a few minutes later came a young girl to me and wanted to convince me for a private-show. I was honest und how I said very carefully, so I told her that she can forget it, I will just drink my 1 beer here and then go out, so she doesn't need to waste her time with me, there are lots of other customers, who want to pay more. Nevertheless she stayed with me and we hat a nice conversation, every 5 minutes she tried again to convince me for the private show (2 or 3 times) but I had resisted. After around 10 minutes the waitress came and was a little bit angry, asked me in a very unfriendly way, why I came here and don't book the show or buy the girl a drink. I responded to her also loud and clearly, that I just want to drink my beer out and then I will go. A few minutes later my beer got almost empty and I wanted to go and the waitress brang me 2 shots. I was really stupid to drink them, because after this situation before I was was a really bad customer, so why should she bring me free shots? I drank them and 1-2 minutes later I don't have any memorys more except that I went to the toilet. I think I had to piss already the 15 minutes before and wanted to go out after this, but on the way everything ends. Maybe this was my luck. I woke up at next day and had everything in my pockets of the jeans (smartphone, cards, zlotys). The only thing I lost was my jacket which lied on my seat in the club lounge where I drank the beer and talked with the girl. I just can suppose that I noticed that they took something in my drink on the way to the toilet and wanted to leave the club unseen. This would be the only scenario, which would make sense to me, but I don't know anything. A reason for that is also that I bought on the next kiosk something to drink on the way to my apartment with the visa card and the time is less than 1 hour after the payment of the 1 beer in the club and I was at least 30 minutes in there, maybe more. I don't remember to buy this drink, I just found it next to my bed at the next morning and saw the payment. I really had luck! I don't know what would be happened if I booked the private show or stayed for a longer time there. Maybe it was also an advantage, that it was at the early evening (~21.00) so It was surely easier to leave the club if the restaurants and streets around the club were full of people instead of empty streets in the late night,but how I said: zero memories since 1 or 2 minutes after the shots. So I just spent the 15-20 Zloty for the beer in this awful club, more than luck!!!

This doesnt matter at all. The corrupt police are being paid by gangsters to let strip clubs rob, drug and harm people. The corrupt politicians are getting paid by the dirty gangster money so it is allowed to happen. Dont trust that the police wish to stop this. The police are allied with the strip clubs and get paid under the table. There is no law and order in reality. The general opinion amongst Polish people it is to be expected on strip clubs to be robbed, drugged and beaten. If you decide to go there then Polish people think you are asking for it. Its very sick that this madness has continued UNTOUCHED for almost 10 years. It will never go away.

** BEWARE OBSESSIONS ** Really don't know where to begin with what has just happened to me and my friend at Obsession in Gdansk on 1st March 2020. We had went for 1 beer around 8pm in another pub, went for a walk and ended up Old Town, passing Obsession we were propositioned by a young female offering us free shots and cheap drink. We thought why not? Worst decision of our lives.. Go into Obsession club around 9pm, 1 young dancer sits to the right of my friend and gives us 2 free shots, a welcome drink she says.. thanks very much and we drink them, 30 seconds later another girl comes over and sits to the left of me offering another 2 free shots, I say to her that we are fine but she insists being as nice as she could be. We drink the 2nd shot and that was it! We have no recollection until we come to the next day, myself in a hospital after a severe beating, stitches, broken ribs etc and my friend in our apartment minus his polo shirt, hoody, jacket, wallet, money and iPhone! Luckily he wasn't beaten and luckily I wasn't robbed as part of what happened to me. As we hadn't consumed much alcohol prior to going into Obsessions and after reading sites similar to this we are in absolutely NO doubt that we were 100% drugged!! Even people in Gdansk admitted it happened and this said club was 1 of if not the worst to go to! If only we had known this beforehand.. We went to the police but they did not have an interpreter so the next day before we left we called the British Embassy who instructed us to go back to the police station, they called the station before we arrived to let them know we would need an interpreter. We then went back along to the police but with us leaving the country that day they said they would be unable to follow up interviews with us, also no luck for my friend as he did not have travel insurance unfortunately.. We are now back in the UK and I have already been in contact with an English speaking lawyer in Gdansk with a view to seeing what if anything we can do about it. We spoke on the phone today and I sent an email detailing everything that happened to us so I'll know in due course if any action can be taken.. perhaps if more people contact said lawyer or similar then we can do something about these horrible places! Totally ruined what had started of a great weekend!

Me, my sister and our dad started our evening at obsession. We got free entry and free shots, I also got "free" private boot. Once in the private they asked for more money, I told them no and then I got angry. I got out without paying anything. I see my sister is sleeping on the couch, I grab her to get her out and the girls tell me to leave her alone, I remember getting her up the stairs and then its total blackout. I woke up on the train station by two policemen carrying me out. This is scary, because everything could have happened... cant they shut this down!

I 100% wish I found this before going to Obsession - January 2020 and still happening. Thought I'd go in for short stay and keep walking about, after some 'free' shots I have minimal memory. I got very sick, threw up a lot, checked my wallet before leaving and it was empty. I could barely walk. When I woke up in morning I found my credit card was also charged multiple times, was thinking - WTF happenned, how did I get that drunk so fast? Had to leave city in morning so I did not go back or report... 5 days later still feel after effects.

Drugged, beaten up, bruised, tried to take £800 from my cards, stole my belongings they are going to kill somebody here, wouldn't let me leave, so hard to try when they drug you, bunch of cowards, I was ill for a week from the effect of them spiking me, I am serious and so are the other reviews. Do not go here, don't get separated, the girls are not even nice one angry dancer and one fat minger, sent reports to the police.

Never go there! They brought drinks to me that I didn’t order and the girl started to talk to me by herself in the end after I got drunk they asked me to pay 200€ and they stole my wallet (with documents) and my glasses. They are destroying the tourism in poland i said to the polish police!!

My friends and I were approached outside on the street by promoters and lured with free alcohol (a bottle of vodka). We went into the club and had to order a drink to get the vodka. After a few minutes the girls sat between us and held smalltalk with us. After that we were separated from our group, so that each of us is alone with one girl. After a short dance we were asked to pay for a drink (36€ for orange juice) or to go to the private room for the same price. In the private room there were continuous shots for free and after about 20 minutes I passed out. The next day 604€ (2594 PLN) were debited, without me knowing anything about it. They stole my buddy's mobile phone, bank card and identity card. My other friends had to carry him out because he was unconscious. PLEASE NEVER GO TO THE STORE! They stun you and steal everything from you. If you go in, take a maximum of 20 PLN for the first drink and go out immediately. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator

Just got back after a very good weekend spoilt only by Obsession. On entering as a group the girls made a bee line for us separating all the lads by sitting between us. We were given shots, dark and light. Thankfully, I had sniffed a rat and didn't stay too long. Although long enough to pay 245 zloty for a vodka for the girl who was sat with me... Thankfully this girl tipped me off and i got out. My friend however, wasnt so lucky and had his Credit Card damaged by £545.00.... I paid cash even though they begged for my card. one customer returned asking for his phone and was shown the exit very quickly. Very seedy place with a bad atmosphere. Theyre are better venues. I would stay clear, unlike my memory the day after.
