Located at Drottninggatan 35, this two-floor club boasts two dancefloors and bars, offering different vibes to suit your mood. Upstairs, expect house music pumping through the night, while downstairs is a mix of disco, 70s, 80s, and 90s classics, with a bit of Schlager thrown in for good measure. It’s perfect for anyone who loves dancing to nostalgic beats or modern grooves.

Gretas is open every Friday and Saturday from 10 pm until the early morning hours, making it a prime spot to kick off your weekend.

Not really Gay bar.Feels more like a lgbtq+ friendly straight place. The music was quite disappointing. The entrance fee was high but it was NYE so we understood, but the drinks are expensive.Overall quite a disappointing experience, has potential but the atmosphere is far from being a gay bar.

I visited Sweden for the first time from Manchester, England with my friends and the vibe felt like I was back home. The door staff were so friendly as well as the bar staff. The songs were good too! Definitely added some Swedish songs to my playlist 🙂

Plus for the first floor dancing area.But generally boring and full of people with identity confusion. Age like from 18-60🙈.

The last few times I’ve been there, expecting queer and gay people and a good club atmosphere , it has been middle aged, mostly straight people dancing to 80’s shuffle music? The dance floor upstairs it usually completely empty and not a lot of people there.

Odd place. Like many reviews here they told us we were too drunk to enter only to then let us in.Music was great for a dance.Drinks are pricy and we all got charged different amounts though we each bought the same items each round. And the differences were quite large.We had a fun night as a group but it’s not a great venue.

Really bad place!! My friend was very drunk and unwell and they refused to give him tap water, claiming you had to buy a bottle of water! But we had both lost our wallets and had no payment method!!! Such a horrible place, and very capitalist
