The Secret Garden

There is something very wrong about this place and the bouncers picking on people with different skin colours. I still can’t believe I have witnessed an obvious racial incident, in the very center of Stockholm in 2023, on what was supposed to be a casual Friday night out with friends. My husband who is Latino, was drinking alcohol free beer and was rudely approached, not once but twice and asked to leave the premises. Our group was speechless and tried to explain that he is not drinking alcohol so he can’t be drunk. We weren’t disturbing anybody unless someone felt wrong about us speaking Spanish at our table. We all left but still can’t go over the experience.
Of course, anybody else looking like drunken and high Barbies or Kens were left continuing their fun.
What also strikes me is the quantity of comments in the past 12 months mentioning racism in connection to this place.

The staff treats transsexuals like shit harassing and even abusing them. This is not a club of tolerance and inclusion. You wont have a pleasant time there. I have lived in Tokyo for 17 years and enjoyed hundreds of its gay barns and nowhere have I found as awful club as this one. Dont bother going there. The bar is full of hostile guards. One guard was mentally unstable, very violent and destroyed my kimono while kicking me to the ground. I throw away my VIP card in front to the staff reported him to the police .

Är man ensam får man inte sitta i solen på uteserveringen utan hänvisas in i lokalen eller på den skuggiga gaveln på huset
Eller beror det på att jag är äldre och ful
Dålig stil

Racism and discrimination against foreign peoples. The guards are foreign themselves but they discriminate against foreign persons.

Sick!

I do not recommend this place to anyone, and I will NEVER set foot here again!

We were a group of five people (a mix of men/women/heterosexuals and gay) who lined up to get in. It will be our turn and we will be scrutinized by the guard.

- The guard: "You, you, you and you (pointing to my friends who are ethnic Swedes) come in but not you (pointing to me, the only one with an immigrant background)".
- I, in a friendly tone: "No offense but my friends here who are allowed to come in are drunk. I haven't drunk anything and keep an eye on them. Why are they allowed in but not me?"
- My friends: "No come, we move on".
Guard: Mumbles something inaudible and then says something like "I'm bothering and fussing."

I know I wasn't allowed to get in is because I was the only one with an immigrant background (born and raised here in Sweden). We give up and move on to another bar.

As I said, I do not recommend this place to anyone and I will NEVER set foot here again.
Had it been possible to give them a minus star, I would have set it.

In connection with a speech to a newly married couple in the so-called. VIP room, a guard thunders in and roars, as if he were Eddie Murphy in a "Cop in Hollywood" movie, that we should empty our bags, and accuses the whole party of 50 people that we have brought our own drink with us, which was not true. His so-called scout had seen something "suspicious". Found my purse upside down in a corner, where he rummaged around.
Incredibly and gaping attitude, nice towards guests and especially the bride and groom.
Unceremonious, rude and totally tasteless. 👎🏻

the guards only care what mood they themselves e in, rather than what e reasonable / true. 3 beers? 30 beers? 0.3 beer? does not matter; they care only about just about how mkt neckline you have (which e xtra sick on a gay club )....

Sickest place I've ever visited. Heard so many stories about how you treat guests and staff badly. Please, look after your visitors, we're the ones making sure you get paid. Will never set foot there again and I hope that you guests who are also badly treated will make your voice heard. It's not OK as a paying guest to be poorly treated. Every time we've been here, someone's been rude. Why you even go back is a mystery to me, too. But last night was the last time. Stockholm has lots of nice places to visit where staff are serviceminded and nice. Thank you and hello, see you never again!
