Aifur Bar
1. Aifur Bar
Step into a different time and era in Gamla Stan(Old Town), from the moment you walk through the door you will feel like a real Viking after spotting all the detailed historical decorations.
Aifur bar is owned by the famous Swedish musician Martin Erikson(E-Type). Here you will be greeted by friendly bar staff dressed in old-fashioned costumes.
Why not book a table for Swedish traditional food and mead? To make the atmosphere more authentic, each table gets announced to the dining area for cheers by the bar staff and customers.
2. Richie
A popular modern and cultured dining and drinking experience with truly outstanding cuisine. This restaurant/bar offers a wide range of delicious beer, cocktails, and wine. The atmosphere and energy are electric and elegant in this wonderful location in the heart of Stockholm.
For many years Richie was an exclusive club for Swedish celebrities to go out for a wonderful meal, but now its doors are open to everyone though the bar has kept its original style and high standard.
3. Akkurat Bar
One of the best bars in Stockholm with some unexpected and proper real ales. Just a few minutes’ walk from Slussen underground station. The staff are approachable and very knowledgeable, they will help you choose a drink you are going to love!
Their cellar is stocked with literally hundreds of beers, there is no doubt that you will find one that will become one of your favourites.
4. Stora Vikingen
This is another great Viking bar, a very pleasant bar and restaurant close to Slussen underground station, full of local people enjoying mead and other unusual drinks.
The food is fantastic and the portions are extremely generous, a perfect stop for a business meal and drink if you are hungry after a long day of meetings in Gamla Stan(Old Town).
5. Himlen
Why not surprise a client with a drink at the top of a sky bar with one of the best views over Stockholm? This elegant and stylish bar and cocktail lounge is a must-visit, its 360-degree views from the top are truly mind-blowing. Himlen is located in a great area in Södermalm, surrounded by plenty of other good bars and restaurants.
6. Eriks Gondolen
Eriks Gondolen is a very relaxed popular restaurant and bar with an amazing view and ambiance, one of Stockholm’s treasures!
Excellent service, food, and drinks. The staff are professional and make the guests feel welcomed and very well taken care of. Don’t miss out on checking this place out for an enjoyable peaceful experience.
7. Ice Bar by ICEHOTEL
Have you ever had a drink from a glass made of ice? This is the perfect bar if you are looking for a different (and slightly cold) experience.
This ice bar is the world’s first permanent bar made of ice, built-in 2002 in Stockholm. Here are some fun facts; Every April the interior and design are renewed with fresh ice from the Torne River with the help of some talented sculptors from ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjärvi north of Sweden.
The bar is open all year round (yes, even in the summer!), so don’t worry about having to go in the coldest months for this unique attraction.
8. Pub Anchor
For our rock lovers, this pub is known as a “rock paradise”, one of the best pubs to hear some awesome tunes. A vibrant environment with polite and welcoming bar staff. This pub offers a wonderful selection of beers, spirits, and tasty pub food such as burgers and chips.
If you have the chance after perhaps a successful meeting, we recommend going to their karaoke evenings to maybe cut loose a little with the singing of some of the best rock n’ roll classics. What else is there to want than good music, beer, and friendly people?
9. Kvarnen
Kvarnen is for everyone who likes a real old beerhouse. Located in central Stockholm in an old house with a high ceiling with a height of perhaps 10 meters. The beerhouse is over 100 years old, and a must-visit for people passionate about beers.
Kvarnen has a delicious range of food and drinks. The menu is distinctly Swedish and focuses on top-notch traditional classics.
10. Morfar Ginko & Pappa Ray Ray
A little gem that many people stumble across in Södermalm without knowing what to expect. A warm welcome with a happy and nice environment with great buzz, al fresco dining, and an excellent choice of drinks and food.
If you are planning on visiting Stockholm for a weekend or plan to relocate here for an extended stay, you’ll need somewhere to stay where you can live and work comfortably. We can source your accommodation and guarantee easy and quick booking to one of the beautiful apartments.
