I teeter between 4 and 5 on this place…read more This place is an oasis in Vasastan where the bars are few and a little too stiff for my taste. In the 70s, Olssons Skor used to be a porn shop called Olssons Video, and up until recently, the bar retained the name Olssons Video. Only recently did it change it's name to Olssons Skor because it also used to be a shoe store. So this porn shop gone shoe store gone dive bar still retains it's old neighborhood porn shop charm. The inside is 70s-tastic with a huge lit Manhattan skyline mural, a dance floor, an aquarium, and a disco ball. The folks that come here come for the express purpose of getting sloshed, dancing, sucking face with a random, and taking them home, and frankly, Stockholm needs more of these places. Unfortunately with the name change, they removed the stripper pole that graced the dance area. With evolution comes change I suppose. So that's Olssons Skor. Don't say I didn't warn you

Olssons Skor is a bar right in the middle of Vasastan (about a 5 minutes walk from Rådmansgatan…read moret-station) and (story has it) was an old shoe store way back when. I went to Olssons Skor with a company After Work party, and was not too impressed. There is a faint smell of an old snooker hall and it lacked some character. We were there around 9pm on a Thursday. Strange as the street this place on has some fantastic bars and restaurants, so not sure if this is a bit dated, was having a bad night or I just have picky tastes. Decent selection of drinks and cocktails, good seating area, a DJ and a giant fish tank in the window.

Very exciting, hype place to be to watch a game, and the drinks here are both reasonably priced (in fact, very cheap actually) and diverse. There were so many draft options, ciders, shooters, etc. and the beers I had were all decent. Our group also ordered some fries, and they were A+. Definitely recommend if you're looking to have a good time with some friends.

I've been to Retro bar a few times now, both this one and the one at Fridhemsplan. I really like…read moreit. The beer and wine is cheap and good (minus the stor stark, but for 29 kr you shouldn't be allowed to complain, really). If you want to go out with friends and have many drinks in a chill atmosphere, it's not a bad choice. It's a GREAT choice, however, if you don't want to wake up the next morning upset with how much money you spent. I imagine it's also great for pre-gaming, in case you REALLY don't want to just go to system and get drunk at home. As far as food is concerned, I've only tried their snack combo plate (149:-). I wasn't expecting much, to be honest. What arrived was a massive plate full of buffalo wings, jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, celery, and some dipping containers with blue cheese, salsa, and sour cream. I couldn't finish it all due to its size, although that's expected considering it's supposed to be shared (hahahah). Nothing impressed me, and I actually found the wings a little disgusting (on the mushy side). The other items were crispy and greasy just how I imagine they would be at a sports bar. If you like this kind of fare, then by all means have a go. Bottom line: Go to have some beers/wine (avoid cocktails- they don't taste very good and are small for the price), share a combo plate, and move on.

This is my kind of place. A Dive Bar with rock'n'roll music, sounds awesome to me…read more When you walk in you see a bar, a couple of tables and bars and a nice crowd of people enjoying their drinks. The place is not too big, so you may need to give enough space so people can move, which can be a little annoying if you are having a conversation, but that's the vibe of the bar so embrace it. Want me to tell you a secret? Can you see that little set of stairs going down? You should adventure yourself and find out. I came here with a friend and we got to listen to a very cool band. Downstairs you will find a little concert venue, and another bar. The only thing missing were people dancing, the song was too good to be standing there, but I understand that Swedes need a couple of drinks before they can hit the dance floor. The place reminded me of a venue I used to go in my early 20's, and I had lots of fun. Beers are affordable, music is good and you are in for a fun night.

Pet Sounds bar is the sister of Pet Sounds, the music shop. The older, prettier and much more…read moresociable sister. Decked out in black tiles and a slick, glossy, and exceedingly beautiful veneer. With a suitably titled range of drinks, cocktails and more to match, Pet Sounds bar is one of my favourite places to be at night in the Swedish capital. Half bar, half restaurant, I am as yet to try out the latter half of this cool night spot, but if the drinks are anything to go by there is no doubting that it will be fine and delicious. There isn't masses of space to sit, between bar stools, window seats and a few tables, without moving into the restaurant portion of the venue. Anyhow, if you need a place to drink with great cocktails and a super atmosphere, then look no further, and if you require a fat slab of vinyl at the same time then, drop by early enough and you can hit up the music shop too. By way of recommendation, try the New York New York. So what are you waiting for?

A few minutes passed two different servers walked by but did not stop. A good five minutes after that still no one. I went to the bar to ask if we were supposed to order there or if they had table service. The bartender said she would send someone over. Another few minutes and finally a server comes with two menus. She drops them and says she will be back to get our drink order. Another five minutes pass and we have not seen her. That was enough, we walked out.

It was quite difficult to get service if you weren't standing right at the bar. I noticed that even a PBR was 900 sec. Most of the beers were quite expensive. I'm from America and PBR is the cheapest lowest quality beer. You could possibly buy. A 16 ounce tall boy is about three dollars in most clubs and five at a high-end club. Other than that a good time was had by all. I can always count on some interesting music when I go t Stampen. I was pleasantly surprised to see traditional country music . It's nice to see that they don't have any of that modern country bullshit and they stick to traditional country music bands that play music with substance . I've seen a lot of great blues and jazz in this venue and it's nice that there's a good variety .

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.
