Venue Detail
Secret Place
About this venue
Secret Place is a fiercely independent, horizontally organized DIY punk bar, vegan kitchen, and underground cultural sanctuary located in the beating heart of Tbilisi. Run strictly as a anti-discrimination collective with no traditional bosses or investors, this venue channels raw, radical energy into a beautiful community safe haven. Spread across three distinct indoor floors and a lush, grapevine-covered outdoor courtyard, Secret Place serves as a crucial social hub for marginalized alternative groups. It is highly celebrated for its intersectional programming, hosting everything from regular queer-themed movie screenings (like Pride Month cinema series and experimental queer animation showcases) to heavy basement punk gigs, synth-wave concerts, poetry slams, and local clothing markets.

Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
Secret Place is generally a walk-in bar rather than a velvet-rope queue. The trade-off for arriving late is a fuller room and slower service, especially on event nights.
Best night
Friday and Saturday bring the louder, later version of Secret Place. Go earlier in the week when you want the bar before it becomes a full social scrum.
Locals vs visitors
Secret Place feels local first—a broadly queer crowd, familiar faces and neighbourhood regulars. Bigger events broaden the room, but it is not built as a tourist-only stop.
Dress code in practice
Secret Place is a relaxed, alternative room: everyday clothes and an expressive queer look both fit better than polished dress-up.
Staff inclusion
Secret Place's queer identity is built into the room or programme, so LGBTQ+ guests are the intended community rather than an afterthought.
