Third time was charmed. Went five years ago and was blown away by the quality and inventiveness…read more Went 18 months ago and much less so; height of busy summer and the bevies were mostly too sweet and just ... nothing special. Felt a bit like a college frat party. Almost skipped it, based on that underwhelming evening, but had to give it another shot late upon an icy and still midnight clear in January. Just amazing...Perfect soundtrack. Sat at the bar to watch the crew, which builds drinks with a bit of panache & showmanship. Started with their Whisky for the Holy Ghost and it was in fact a religious experience: Ghost bourbon, amaretto, Maurin Quina, bitters, salt and served in a chilled corked flask topped with smoke that lingered and really added to the ceremony & taste. My fellow penitents had tasty espresso drinks. It was the second round, however, that was truly memorable. I asked the mad genius behind the bar to concoct an extemporaneous "riff on a Sazerac." Maybe lost in translation, and ended up with more a riff on a vieux carre, but what a riff it was! Michters Rye, calvados in lieu of cognac, a healthy dose of some kind of floral bitters, a few other bitters and a sazeracky absinthe spritz. Guy said he had no idea how it would be, but it was freaking perfection! Skål, indeed.

Very cool, trendy spot. Thankful my friend recommended it. The bartender seemed to really enjoy his…read morejob & helped us with anything we needed. We had one drink and mine was like nothing I've ever had before. If you like orange this will beat you over the head with that flavor in the best way possible.

This place was gloriously weird and felt out of place in an area full of museums and family…read moreattractions. I think it's trying to be a some kind of day club? They were playing pretty good electronic music but it seemed kind of high energy for early afternoon and with such a small crowd. It seemed like they wanted people to be dancing and such but it was mostly older people enjoying salads. I think if they changed up the music to something more downtempo it would have made it a five star experience. It had a ton if seating both inside and out . There was also a pool with a giant floating flamingo. It was kind of chilly and rainy while I was there so most of the people were inside the tent closest to the entrance rather than outside or mingling about. Inside were lots of comfy seating options. The food looked good and they had at least a few vegetarian options. I didn't try any because I just stopped in for a glass of wine and to take a break from exploring the area. The service was good and the prices were about what I would expect in a museum area.

Are you a fan of eating rancid fish, and terrible service? How about a server and manager who…read morespeak fluent English, but then somehow lose their facility for the language when you try and tell them the fish is rancid? Do you like paying for spoiled food because they refuse to take it off the bill despite the fact not a single bite has actually been eaten? How about stupidly overpriced food and drink? If this sounds attractive to you, then Josefina is your place! We could go on and on why we despise this restaurant, but if you need more than the above, then you deserve to experience this horrendous house of food poisoning for yourselves. Simply, the worst restaurant in Sweden. Period.
