About this venue

S/S Patricia (commonly known just as Patricia) is Stockholm's legendary, floating party vessel and one of the longest-running fixtures of the city's LGBTQ+ nightlife. Permanently moored along the Södermalm waterfront, this historic 1930s former British naval ship transforms every Sunday night into a massive, multi-dancefloor queer club night

Practical details

Address: Söder Mälarstrand, 118 25 Stockholm, Sweden

Hours: The ship operates as a restaurant and mainstream club on weekends. However, the dedicated Gay Sunday Club runs exclusively on Sundays from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM.

Venue intelligence

Know before you go

Typical queue

20–45 minutes post-midnight. Because it holds a coveted 5 AM late license—rare in Stockholm—lines grow significantly as other bars close down. Arriving early or booking a dinner reservation onboard bypasses the main queue.

Best night

Sundays are the absolute flagship night for the LGBTQ+ community, a strict tradition that has endured for decades.

Locals vs visitors

A thoroughly vibrant, cross-generational, and lively mix of the entire LGBTQ+ community, drag enthusiasts, university students, and tourists.

Dress code in practice

Expressive party streetwear. You will see everything from casual jeans and tees to full drag glam, glitter, and leather gear.

Staff inclusion

The internal bar staff, resident drag hostesses, and local DJs are highly praised for cultivating an exceptionally fun and welcoming playground.
