Lucy's Flower Shop is an award winning basement cocktail bar hidden behind a working florist front on Birger Jarlsgatan, on the edge of Ostermalm. The drinks are serious and the room is dark, low and intimate.
Who would love it: drinkers who want a proper speakeasy feel and a bartender led cocktail list a few steps from Stureplan. Who would find it less their speed: anyone after a bright, casual room, because this is a small, dim basement built for lingering.
The bar sits below a florist, reached through the shop and down a stair into a candlelit cellar. The World's 50 Best Discovery guide lists it among the Stockholm bars worth seeking out, and Difford's Guide carries the cocktail programme. The hidden entrance is part of the draw.
The list runs to bartender led classics and house signatures, with the staff happy to build something to a brief. Reservations are recommended, sent by email to the bar, because the cellar is small and fills fast. Ask for a recommendation rather than chasing a name off the menu.
The crowd is a mix of cocktail regulars and couples after a quiet, dark room near Stureplan, calm early and busier as the night runs on. The small footprint means a walk in seat is far from guaranteed on a weekend. Early in the week is the move for a quiet table.
Lucy's Flower Shop opens from Tuesday to Sunday in the evening and closes on Monday, with the door running to one in the morning. The basement setting keeps the volume and the light low through the night. Come for a long, slow cocktail session rather than a quick stop.
Nearest transit is Ostermalmstorg on the red line, a short walk away, with Stureplan and its late bars on the doorstep. The central address makes it an easy first stop on an Ostermalm evening.
Pair a cocktail here with the bar at Lilla Baren at Riche or the seasonal list at A Bar Called Gemma, both a short walk east. For more in the area, see our guide to the best bars in Ostermalm, and it earns a place in our best cocktail bars in Stockholm ranking.
