The best cocktail bars - Stockholm - Suède in 2024

Practical information : Take a break Stockholm

Timetable

Bars close between 1am and 3am, and cafes are open from early morning until about 7pm. In general, cafes are open on weekdays and weekends, while bars tend to be open on weekends more than on weekdays. It also depends on the type of bar, whether it is a local pub or a trendy bar. Closing days are usually Monday or Sunday.

Budget & Tips

For bars with student-priced pints, head for Södermalm. Service is included in the bill, so there's no need to leave a tip. For a glass of wine, you can expect to pay from 80 SEK, which is unfortunately rare, and can easily reach 150 SEK.

Age restrictions

For bars, you generally need to be at least 18 to enter, but sometimes the age limit is 20. Sometimes an entrance fee of between 20 and 100 SEK is required. To buy alcohol in official stores, you need to be 20, but legally, in restaurants or bars, you need to be 18 or over.

What's very local

Södermalm is the place to be for a drink, with its exceptional concentration of pubs and bars, mainly along Götgatan and the streets around Medborgarplatsen. South of Folkungagatan, in the trendy SoFo district, shops stay open until 9pm with great deals every last Thursday of the month. This tradition is called SoFo Nights and does not take place in summer. For more info: www.sofo-stockholm.se.

Kids

Most bars and pubs have age restrictions, often limited to 18, preventing children from entering. Otherwise, cafés welcome children of all ages.

Smokers

Smoking is prohibited indoors, on terraces and in many public places. However, it is possible to consume snus.
