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).

Bartender Daniel gave me excellent customer service. Good vibes , very professional, efficient. Left him a 200EUR tip.
For some reason girls keep always coming to the bar to talk to him.
Very nice guy to talk to!
Also the security Dimpie was fabulous

The place had a weird smell, like the bathroom was not working correctly.
Pretty pricy, I spent $35 on 3 drinks.
I came around 7 pm and it was empty, it was ok, you know, just to get to know the place.

Cool concept, it is kinda a 3 in 1 bar since it is divided into different areas that play different music, one English, one Swedish and one more quite for talking so you can freely move around. Good music and fast services, prices are ok for Gamla Stan.
They force you tho to leave your things in the wardrobe and pay 40kr/piece.

Never to be repeated!!!
We are a group of 7 customers who wanted to have a couple of beers after dinner The waiter Daniel and a friend serve us outside the bar We order 7 beers and we get ready to dance. At the moment we order 7 shots of the house and they serve us a shot with the following ingredients: - Baileys (cream liqueur) - Vodka - Whipped cream - Tabasco Two shots are returned and we ask for an explanation. The waiter replies that the shot is correct. We order 7 beers again and we ask for the manager. They tell us that he is not present with laughter. We do not insist and we go to dance. We order some shots that cost us 500 seks… Shortly after when we order again the security staff very kindly inform us that they do not serve more beer and that we please leave the bar. Unacceptable treatment by the waiter, an abusive price for the drinks and the feeling of mockery and lack of respect is very serious
