It's my first day in Sweden and my friend brought me to this club. Such a friendly atmosphere and the staff are lovely! The place is right by the river and decorated with so many colorful flowers. It’s a great idea to stop by!

Had the best time here tonight. What an absolute vibe. Queer folk of all stripes, so many of us just having a ball with our nearest and dearest. Where else can you get Rasputin, Alors on danse, Gangnham Style, among all songs that sing to millenial hearts. Lots of love from these two Australians, we'll be sure to come back and let everyone know about the wholesome time to be had at The Secret Garden🌈

We stopped by on a Friday afternoon after exploring Gamla Stan. The place was mostly empty, but we enjoyed burgers and several drinks in the front seating area. I'm sure the vibe at night is much different, during the day felt more like a calm gay café vs. a busy gay bar (which is fine with me).

Disappointed Experience Despite Great Atmosphere I came in ready to support what seemed like a fun, welcoming establishment—but unfortunately, I left disappointed. The bartender was not particularly friendly and seemed more focused on chatting with friends at a nearby table than attending to guests. Our dirty dishes were never cleared, so we ended up enjoying our drinks surrounded by clutter, which made the experience feel uninviting and a bit uncomfortable. It’s really unfortunate, because the food was very good, the bar itself is charming, and the music created a nice vibe. With better service, this place could easily be a favorite. I will say the bartender does treat his locals very well, not good to be a stranger in this place.
