Found this as an unranked ( or maybe just ranked low) bar on the world's 50 best bars list in…read moreStockholm. The bar is small, unassuming and finds itself on a street filled with conspicuous, Italian restaurants hosting happy hours for corporate Swedes. The bar is a standout for the drinks, the trademark Swedish charisma and genuine warmth. As a side, shout out to Sweden for having the nicest, most welcoming people in the world. We were given a standing table when we got in, but quickly moved to a couple of seats by the bar. We were one of 8 couples at the bar, so yes, very date night vibes. For our first round of drinks, we got the Easy Martini and Let them Eat Cake. The latter was too sweet for our liking but the Easy Martini had the perfect amount of sweet and tart. Our second round was the winner with the Girl Dinner and their Old Fashioned. The Girl dinner was crafted to perfection and possibly the best version of a martini we've ever had. The old fashioned too, made with WhistlePig 10 years was fantastic. The service cannot be faulted, we profusely thanked the lovely bartender, vowing to crow about it to whoever cares to listen and to be back when we are in Stockholm next.

The steak tartare was delicious and crunchy (with almonds)--definitely one of the best dishes we had in Stockholm. The cocktails, the Glass Plane and Southbank Martini were tasty and strong.

Louis R loves authentic bars in Vikingdom, Sweden…read more There aren't any bars in Stockholm more authentic than this spot. Lots of local Swedish beers and delicious food options to select from at this bar. You can also sit and people-watch outside when it's warm. Good location, away from all those tourists in Old Town. Chill and fun. Aye. Be like Louis R, be a viking when in Sweden.

Definitely worth a visit but maybe no more than one. It was fun for the friendly experience and the…read moremeats are pretty good. It really is an experience and being immersed in a culture and style is fun. Seating is limited so be sure to make reservations. Not a big fan of seating family style (with other families) and it is extremely warm inside. You may be put on the spot so if you are shy or introverted this may not be the experience for you. But otherwise, its definitely worth the fun. FOOD: Good but not great. Not a whole lot of variety. Various meats all cooked just right are available. Few side dishes and all root vegetables. We shared the Rurik's Feast so we would get a variety of meats and it was good. I really liked all three meats and it was worth it for the cost. I do wish there were different root veggies like potatoes. I don't know much Viking history so not sure how authentic, but they did have a nice variety of options. They did have risotto for the vegetarians (sure that wasn't part of the Viking staple!). SERVICE: Loved the music. Loved the atmosphere (except for the heat). Loved how friendly and nice everyone was. Service and plating were A+. COST: It was definitely worth it for the volume of food and the experience. Like I said, probably wouldn't come back, but definitely recommended for anyone who wants a fun and memorable night. Definitely worth doing once.

Worth visiting for sliders!

Not to mention, there's a ping pong table where you can get up to 30 people participating in a rally ping pong tournament. Good times :)

It was one of those experiences you will never experience again unless you do it again. Loved the ice sculptures, drinking (not just vodka) in an ice glass & having the experience. The ice sculptures are beautiful. They close the place for about 2 weeks once a year to redo the ice sculptures. It really is cool- in more ways than one! Yes, it is a tourist trap but for about $30 USD - it was well worth it.

Entered the ice room that was created to the ice hotel that created once a year by all ice up northern Sweden. It's freezing inside and it's unique experience, part of it, you got to have a cocktail in ice glass. It's not strong enough to warm you up but you alway buy more drinks. I only last 30mins and I left. Definitely something to do in case you wonder how cold and how it is at the actual ice hotel. Yup, no need for me for sure. But really enjoyed the experience.

Focus is on Swedish and Danish, then European and US too. A 100+ to choose from! What also strikes me are their great prices, that for being in Stockholm said. Environment is clean, metallish in an 1980s vibe with fun and engaging music matching it, anything from misfits to culture club might be on. Friendly bar service, lots of seating, friendly crowd, also games and pooltable. Food is available from the restaurant Moldau next doors too (that will be schnitzels and potatoes!).
