About LGBTQ+ Gothenburg
Sweden decriminalised sex between men in 1944 and opened marriage to same-sex couples in 2009. Gothenburg, the country's second city, keeps a small, central scene with a big Pride week of its own.
Gretas on Drottninggatan is the city's oldest gay club, with two dance floors of disco and pop through the decades, and Bee kök & bar on Kungstorget, a queer bar and kitchen, marked its 15th year in 2026. Haket, an LGBTQ-friendly pub in the Långgatorna bar district, is a relaxed neighbourhood alternative.
