The Best Stockholm Bars

1. Pharmarium

A bar where the drinks are the absolute star of the show (and that’s alongside everything else being perfect, too). A cocktail here will ruin you, as you’ll never want one from anywhere else every again. It’s a beauty.

2. Tjoget

This is a wine bodega, beer cafe, cocktail bar and dining room all rolled into one. If that sounds like a lot it is – but it just works. The concept is rooted in southern Europe and the Middle East and offers both rustic rurality and urban sophistication.

3. Akkurat

A proper pub for craft beer lovers in the centre of the city. A choice of dozens of great beers on tap, as well as a wide range of bottles. Throw in one of the best whisky selections in the city and this is a drinking paradise.

4. Tak

1000 square metres. Two floors. 48 meters above sea level. TAK is located on Brunkebergstorg in Stockholm and is a blend of a fantastic restaurant and bar with one of the best views in the city. A perfect place for a sophisticated night out.

5. Mälarpaviljongen

A wonderful jetty bar packed full of flowers and plants that is one of the best places in the world to spend some time when the sun shines. You feel completely at one with nature when here.

6. Ugglan

A bar that is packed full of games including ping pong, pinball, board games and boules. Never a dull moment when you come here, and a wonderful place to spend time with friends.

7. Icebar

Part of the ice hotel and a must visit when you come to the city. Get yourself wrapped up and drink one of their tasty and potent cocktails from an ice cup. A truly once in a lifetime experience.
