The Secret Garden

It's nice to put

Such a shame. A captain city promoting a 'gay bar'. But when we got there, it was just filled with drunk hen party and stag do people. Not for me.

Bouncer tried to rip us off, trying to charge 10 eur entrance fee, disgusting behaviour, should not be tolerated by management. Recommend to stay away from this club.

- Unjustified removal from the club. - Refusal to identify by security staff. - Unprofessional and arrogant behavior. The situation took place on Saturday, 02/05/2026. We were at the club in a group of 8 people and were peacefully enjoying the evening. At one point, I was walking with a cup of water. The person walking in front of me bumped into me, causing some of the water to spill on me. A moment later, a female security guard immediately told me to leave the club. I was very surprised by this situation. My knowledge of Swedish was not sufficient for me to freely explain the situation or understand the reason why I was removed from the club. The woman stated that she would not speak to me in English. After leaving the club, both my friends and I calmly tried to find out why I had been removed. The security staff outside the club ignored our requests for a long time, sometimes pretending not to hear us. Throughout the entire situation, we remained calm and polite. The female security guard who removed me from the club later came outside to speak with us. However, she refused to identify herself or provide any identification number, despite our clear request. She only stated that she was the only female security guard working at the club that evening. I understand that the role of security staff is to maintain order and safety in the club. However, I would like to know why I was removed from the venue and on what basis the security guard made this decision. The woman did not provide any argument or explanation for her actions. I also feel that it is very easy to invite a large group of people into a club, collect entrance fees from everyone, and then remove one person from the group without any explanation. In practice, the club profits from the entry fees of the whole group while simultaneously reducing the number of people inside the venue. I perceived the behavior of the security staff as arrogant and unwilling to provide any explanation whatsoever. The matter has been reported to the police.

Great LGTBQ place for lunch, dinner or just a drink.

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!

Terrible service. Totally unwelcoming to foreigners. I've been to many LGBT-friendly places around the world, but this was perhaps the least welcoming of all.

Very disappointing experience. The security staff seem to kick people out based on their own subjective judgment of who is “too drunk,” even when that’s clearly not the case. It feels unfair and arbitrary, and it completely ruins the atmosphere. Would not recommend.

I'm embarrassed to be an LGBTQ+ member in this community because my husband got kicked out because somebody else poured water on him. We tried to fight this but the guard which made the decision is with the police and never came out. I understand kicking out drunks but it was excessive... It's a shame that's how the most famous place for LGBT people acts...
