Since early times, the hill under the Bratislava castle housed many tunnels. According to an old legend, an old pathway existed beneath the Danube, leading all the way to the Petržalka shore. In the late 18th century, a passage was rumored to exist all the way from the residency of by Maria Theresa to the house of her lover. Rifts and openings in the castle massif were used by the wine makers as cellars, serving as bunkers during war times and providing shelter to the homeless.
The gates of U.Club opened for the first time in March 1993. The former fallout shelter is situated 85 meters below the Bratislava castle and was built by the Civil Protection agency of the Slovak Republic. The club represents only a small fraction of the complex tunnel system dating back to the Theresan times and the communist nuclear scare era. The first oppidum was built already by the Celts.
