Backdoor is Stockholm’s main large-scale LGBTQ+ nightclub, located in Johanneshov near the arena district. It is built around late hours, multiple bars, and three dance floors, with Fridays leaning pop and throwbacks and Saturdays more house and techno. It is the clearest choice in the city for a full club night rather than bar-hopping.
Patricia is a permanently moored party boat on Söder Mälarstrand that has been part of Stockholm nightlife since the 1980s. It mixes bars, dance floors, karaoke, and outdoor deck space, and remains especially associated with the city’s Sunday gay crowd. Its ship setting makes it one of Stockholm’s more distinctive nightlife venues.
Gay Places is a quietly curated guide to gay bars, clubs, and other spaces around the world. Less directory, more edit, it brings together places with atmosphere, character, and a reason to go.
