Visitors praise Gretas for its super location, good drinks and snacks, and friendly staff. However, many complain about the excessively loud music, especially during daytime, and long queues for ordering and payment. Some also found the menu sparse and the wine list expensive.

A very unsafe gay club; they allowed a “Tiktok” streamer to film everyone there without comment. We are a group of people who absolutely DO NOT have the privilege of being filmed at a gay club willy nilly. Full of bachelorette straights, incredibly (let me put extra emphasis on this) incredibly bad music. It was like entering any club. Unpleasant experience, bad vibes, cannot recommend.

My boyfriend and I were attacked by the guards and handcuffed when we were about to leave after we had a nice evening. I had been given my jacket and my boyfriend was going to pick it up on his. The police were also called and the guards are pushing us down. We don't put up any resistance but I keep saying what have I done. The whole situation was shocking as I haven't experienced this before. Reading what others have been subjected to. I don't recommend Gretas. If you don't want to be scared go to Bee bar instead, they are friendly and you really feel at home there. Being assaulted by guards is part of everyday life unfortunately! My boyfriend and I will never set foot there again. And Gretas has had problems with their guards for a long time…. The police have heard back when the police report was made about this. If Aslan thinks the guards are doing well, then the opposite. Regardless. I was pepper sprayed 10 years ago outside Gretas, then 10 years later you are subjected to the guards, which means you never go there again

we went for eurovision night: we heard two eurovision songs the rest was mid, we requested one song that never got played. a drink was 300 crowns (30 euros) which is an insane price to me. there was no one inside except for some weird people… the vibes were very off. we were bored to death and left eventually. (bonus: a glass of water was 30 crowns which speaks for itself)
