Hot Dog is the cruising club in Padua, men only, open since May 2007. It sits on Via Turazza next to the city's sauna and its gay nightclub.
Past the entrance, where LGBT and sexual health information is laid out, the club opens into a bar with lockers, a lounge, relaxation rooms and a TV room showing adult films. The play areas are darkrooms, a maze, glory holes including a section out on the terrace, and a mirror room. There is a smoking lounge.
A second zone called Extrastrong was added in 2013. It has its own changing room, individual cabins fitted with grilles, a large bed area, a space for live performances, further relaxation rooms and a smoking lounge of its own.
Entry is by ARCO membership and is open to any member without further selection. Each night has its own dress code and guests are expected to keep to it.
