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.

What a great spot to have a cocktail inside a courtyard during the summer months! We recently had a…read moretrip to Stockholm, Sweden and this little gem was just outside (or inside the courtyard) of our hotel room. Pretty hard to find if your just walking the streets in Gamla Stan but so worth it if you find it. Excellent drinks and while we were there, they had a beer special that was up my alley- so to speak. We also enjoyed some smoked salmon for an appetizer that was awesome as well. Some colorful lights and a large umbrella with some space heaters help to take the chill out of the late summer nights. And the bartenders were spot on with a drink or beer when needed. Just what we needed after some full days of walking through the historic town that is so full of great things to see. It's not often I want to try something a second time, but this space deserves a return trip.

I came here to have brunch many moons ago with some yelpers. I loved it! When you walk in, it…read morealmost feels like you entered an intelligent old man's study. The seats, dim lights, and warm colors of the decor were super cozy. We had six courses which included a burger and different samplings of bacon. We had scrambled eggs with truffle and smoked salmon, which was incredible. Each small dish was very tasty and different. I also got a cocktail which was refreshing and really well made. For dessert there was a strawberry sambuca shake which was out of this world. I would definitely want to come back for dinner, but for a special occasion. The prices were a bit high (although I do think it's worth the price). Will definitely be back for drinks, though.

We had dinner reservations across the street at Kagges so we came here right as they opened at 5pm. Would love to have tried their snacks which sounded perfect with our cocktails (like Peruvian corn!) but didn't want to spoil our dinner. We came back after dinner and headed downstairs which we discovered is a late night bar. We enjoyed chatting with the bartender who recommended our next stop to us - Akkurat (amazing selection of on tap beer/pub). Downstairs and in the back is the Flying Elk which is also great with outdoor seating.

I will go through my archives and post what I have from the establishment. The employees were so sweet and truly were the cherries on top regarding our experience here. We had so much fun here we dropped over 400 bucks I feel in American Dollars. One drink we had was the gonzo. The bar manager who was there that day ( my visit was in February 2017) had recently won a Bacardi cocktail competition for Sweden and was be going on to the international competition and if she won, the gonzo would win some notoriety [think same status of staples like rum and coke, vodka tonic, etc etc, along those lines.] The club also sold a few finger foods which I don't recall too much but I do remember them being tasty. All in all pretty pricey bar in a nice area near Gamla Stan. If you need advice on visiting Sweden, go in the springtime or warmer weather as it is an country of several islands and best explored from the water.

Turns out one of the guys behind the bar is a California regular when he travels and turns out knows many of the same people I know. Crazy. He's also one of the more well known wine distributors in the area so he does know everyone in the restaurant scene. Since I had no need for a CA wine I was offered a very good Barbaresco and some great conversation to mark my last day in town for a while. Great energy, drinks and people.

I got the reindeer steak and my friend got the Swedish meatballs. The reindeer steak was maybe a bit undercooked. It had a slight note of blood which I covered with the sauce. It also came with a bunch of roasted carrots. I was hoping that they would add some other elements. Maybe roasted potatoes or cooked greens. I tasted a bit of my friends meatballs and they were super salty. There wasn't enough mash potatoes to balance the salt. You're basically paying for the location. The food was subpar for the amount of money spent. It may be worth going a few blocks away to look for better options.

Biggest con is that sofas and armchairs provide you too great comfort, so great, that you might end up sitting here all night. Sit down, have a drink, enjoy...

We got a nice chair to sit & very good professional service, they come to your table, take your order & bring your drink to the table. It was perfect for a chat & a drink with a friend. Music is neither too loud nor too crazy ( lounge music) & you get a decent chair to sit & keep your honor (by not having to crowd others in a cramped space at the bar & stretch half way to the other side of the bar to get the bar tender's attention!) The crowd is pretty mixed, there were mature & middle aged people, very young(20+) groups & some couples. If you are looking for somewhere to have a drink & chat (& be able to hear each other!) this is really nice place.

Both of us were looking to try some fish in Stockholm and The Flying Elk's fish and chips did not disappoint! The cod is very well battered and fried perfectly, the fries are great as well, and it all comes with a great curry mayonnaise for dipping. You also get some house-made pickled vegetables that add a great acidity element to the meal! We both enjoyed a couple beers and walked away super satisfied. We originally had reservations for the main dining room, but wanted to check out their "back bar" after doing some research, and I would highly recommend it! The back bar is a little less formal, dimly lit, and gives off a good vibe for relaxing, enjoying a beer, and eating some tasty food. While The Flying Elk is tad pricey I think it's a worth a stop if you're visiting Stockholm!
