Lokal
“It’s a tight squeeze, but as long as you’re not claustrophobic it’s a really good place to mingle if you’re over 30.”—Ann-Charlotte Jönsson, manager of press and information, Stockholm Visitors Board. Swedish food, crowded after the bar DJ cranks up the volume. Scheelegatan 8, Kungsholmen; tel. +46 8 650 98 09
Patricia
“One of the tackiest nightspots in town but the fact it’s on a boat and always packed with a party crowd makes it an unbeatable magnet.” – Alannah Eames, Stockholm city guide editor, Scanorama magazine. Stadsgårdskajen 152; tel. +46 8 743 05 70. www.patricia.st
Saddle & Sabre
Small saloon with great steaks and an impressive bourbon collection. Saddle bar stools and Western knick-knacks attest to a welcoming insensitivity to trends. Tegnérgatan 9; tel. +46 8 20 30 34. www.saddleandsabre.com
