Hip Söder night spot

Morfar Ginko

If you appreciate interesting interiors, this place is bound to please – the DJ booth floats above the dance floor loft-style, and there’s a secret door that leads to fun and frivolous bar. Drop by for a drink and around-the-table ping-pong on a Monday or Tuesday evening, or wait until the weekend for some serious down-and-dirty dancing.

If you like underground electronic music, this is where you should go. The security is surprisingly nice, decent price for admission and a great soundsystem. The crowd can be quite young and rowdy, in a good way!

Pet Sounds Bar

Indie rock bar & concert venue

Pet Sounds Bar

13

Pet Sounds Bar is a classic Södermalm watering hole and concert venue. With live music most nights and a modest menu of crafty cocktails, it’s a fine choice for some early evening entertainment. And by early evening I mean that the concerts usually start before 9 pm.

Swedish beer hall & nightclub

Kvarnen

If you’re a large group looking for a rollicking night out at one of Stockholm’s oldest boozers, look no further than Kvarnen. It's worthwhile knowing that it was mentioned in Stieg Larsson's “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”, so if you want to avoid the tourist masses, you might want to avoid dining here.

Under Bron -Trädgården

Nightlife 23 5

By Anna

Party Big Time!

Under Bron -Trädgården

23

Due to good music, a large smoking area and fairly long opening hours for Stockholm – until 5 a.m., Under Bron has somewhat a Berlin-like atmosphere. Music varies from funky beats, indie and house tunes to harder electronic music and techno. Located literally under the bridge, it's also easy to reach from Södermalm.

Stockholm’s food scene unfortunately doesn’t offer a big selection of affordable dinner options. La Neta is a rare and welcome exception. It's perfect for budget travellers and those seeking a quick and satisfying feed.
