Stockholm

6e Tunnan

Sjätte tunnan

Medieval bar and restaurant, with medieval food and mead, and a small heavy-metal bar at street level. Live performances most evenings, usually Medieval-style or rock music.

Open until 03:00

Akkurat

Friendly English-style pub offering good food, real ale, plenty of beers from all over the world as well as 450 different whiskies. A place where younger and older drinkers meet.

Berns Bar

Berns Bar is one of the trendier hangouts in the city centre, with a nice lounge and several dancefloors. You can eat a late dinner here to avoid the high entrance fee. Otherwise, make sure to show up early (before 23:00) in order to get in with minimal hassle. 300 kr entrance and mixed drinks costing as much as 150 kr. Can be overcrowded late at night.

Big Ben

Stereotypical English pub, best known for its stand-up comedy club, with free-entrance shows in English every Thursday on 20:00. Live music at weekend nights.

Bishop's Arms

There is one English-style pub in the Bishop's arms chain close to the Central station.

Brasserie Godot

If you fancy long drinks with a cool crowd this is the place for you. Ask for an Old-Fashioned, Godot Crush or a Bloody Mary.

Carmen

Cheap beer, pub grub, and a lot of young broke hipsters at this Södermalm bar.

Collage

A nightclub with a rather young crowd, and an inner courtyard. The Living Room is a more intimate and funky club on the ground floor; no cover charge during weekends.

Debaser Hornstull Strand

A two-part establishment at the waterfront, with a free-of-charge bar, and a nightclub that usually stages alternative concerts.

Dovas

Cheap beer, 30 kr for a 500 ml bottle of Norrlands Guld or another local ale. There is a nightclub opposite which most of the young locals seem to disappear into when this place closes.

East

Asian cross-cooking, funky music, and ethnic diversity hardly seen at any other nightclub in central Stockholm. Open until 03:00 every night, but gets crowded, so go there well before midnight. Dress code may apply.

Golden Hits

Not just a three-floor nightclub with a karaoke bar, but also a stage for dinner shows with pop music. Guests of all ages.

Gröne Jägaren

[grøːnə ˈjɛːˈgaɳ]

A sport and karaoke bar with history back to 1692. There are several other places in the hood and you will probably find a seat.

Himlen

Once upon a time, the landmark skyscraper on Götgatan housed the offices of the Swedish Tax Agency. After major renovations, the building reopened in 2008, transformed into the unlikely combination of a small shopping mall, student apartments and, on the 25th and 26th floors, an exclusive-looking sky bar and restaurant offering visitors one of the most spectacular panoramas over the city. Enter from inside the Skrapan shopping center.

Mon-Thu 18:00-01:00, Fri-Sat 18:00-03:00

Hotellet

Could be described as a hotel bar without a hotel. Free entrance, dancefloor at weekends, and a mixed crowd.

IceBar

The bar is made of ice. You have to wait a long time before you can get in, because there are only 30 people allowed at a time.

Indigo

A really small bar with an eclectic colour scheme, usually drawing a rather young crowd. This is a good place to start the evening.

Internationella Pressklubben / Duvel Café

Boasts a broad assortment of Belgian beer. Offers beer tasting events.

Kelly's

Cheap beer, cider and shots for as little as 24 kr each. Minimum age of 23 to enter. Hard rock music and poor acoustics. You will blend in well if you wear black leather and tattoos.

Kristall

A three-floor nightclub opened in early 2013. Usually free entrance.

Kvarnen

A beer hall with old traditions. Popular with fans of the football club Hammarby IF. This place has expanded, adding more modern, trendy bars in adjoining rooms. Has a wide selection of beers and food at decent prices. Some scenes of the Millennium series were shot here.

Le Bon Palais

A three-floor nightclub with 1980s and 90s music and karaoke.

Mosebacke Etablissement

In the same building as the Södra Teatern theatre and bar, this is a laid-back restaurant, bar and music venue. In the summer, its large beer garden with a panoramic view is extremely popular with Stockholmers and tourists alike. Indoors, you will find lots of clubs and live music in a wealth of genres, including brunches with live jazz on weekends 10:30-03:00.

Musslan

The "back pocket" of seafood restaurant Wasahof next door, cosy and relaxed Musslan offers the same menu, a nice bar and DJs every night.

Tue-Thu 18:00-01:00, Fri-Sat 18:00-02:00

Naglo

A small vodka bar with a schlager (Eurovision Song Contest) playlist, regularly visited by gay men and opera fans.

Nivå 22

A low-end pub with a roof deck, where one can drink and smoke at the same time.

O'Connell's Irish Pub

This comfortable and cosy Irish pub serves excellent pub food and has live music most nights of the week. Be sure to check out the 400-year old cellar bar.

Open every day 12:00-01:00

Oliver Twist

Warm and cozy English-style pub offering good food, real ale, and other beers from around the world.

Olssons Skor

No cover charge. Clean and relaxed. Room for spontaneous dancing.

Patricia

As one of the few nightclubs open to 05:00, they have a harsh (but arbitrary) entrance policy. Dominated by gays on Sunday nights.
