Where to Drink + Dance in Stockholm, Sweden

bar

The bar at Mister French

Stockholm, Sweden

Located on the expansive Skeppsbron promenade, the chic maritime decor, sink-in sofas and open terrace at Mister French are perfect for wild summer nights. When the heat hits, it’ll be busy from lunch until very late, with a real party atmosphere thanks to live DJ sets. Fuel up for the madness in the restaurant, which serves up elegant French-inspired comfort food. If you’re feeling adventurous afterwards, hop on one of the nearby boats and head to another island.

bar

Bernie's

Stockholm, Sweden

The coolest place to go in Stockolm, Bernie’s has its own courtyard and open fireplace. This is where the ‘it’ crowd goes to dance until the early morning. It’s not easy to get in, so have dinner at Nosh & Chow and ask for a drinks table upstairs later.

bar

Café Opera

Stockholm, Sweden

With a similar vibe to Casino de Monte-Carlo, who wouldn’t want to sip on champagne in the company of the grand white columns and gold embellishments of Stockholm’s grand opera? Come Saturday night, the crowd spills out onto the street and the music booms, making it one of the most popular spots in town. If you’re feeling flush and fancy a break from the music, meander further inside and try your luck in the casino.

bar

V at Sturecompagniet

Stockholm, Sweden

Almost like a private club, this is a VIP room inside a spectacular nightclub. Behave like you own the place and you might be lucky enough to get in. No signs – just a massive line in the lobby – but this is where the good-looking party crowd go to dance until their looks are long gone. After 1am people go crazy and start climbing on the tables.
