Top Picks This Week
Tjoget
Sweden's finest cocktail bar operates from a beautifully converted building on Hornsbruksgatan. The drinks programme is the work of a team with deep roots in Nordic ingredients and a formal approach to flavour building that shows in every glass. The seasonal menu rotates completely four times a year. A 50-seat bottle shop at the back sells rare spirits at retail. Tjoget sets the standard that every other Stockholm bar measures itself against.

Pharmarium
Set inside a converted 18th-century pharmacy in the Old Town, Pharmarium is Stockholm's most atmospheric cocktail bar. The apothecary aesthetic is carried through every detail from the shelving to the glassware to the infusion-driven cocktail menu. Reservations are essential at weekends. The bar seats 30 across two rooms, and the drinks are priced to reflect the quality of work that goes into them. Go on a Wednesday when the city's bar professionals have their night off.

Linje Tio
The city's best live music bar occupies a former cinema on Surbrunnsgatan with a programme that runs from jazz trios to electronic sets depending on the night. The main room holds 200 standing. The bar serves natural wine and a thoughtful Swedish craft beer selection rather than the lowest-common-denominator lager lineup found at most music venues. Arrive 30 minutes before doors for a table in the front section. The acts programming here is consistently stronger than anywhere else in the city.
