Olssons
While the retro neon signage, dark tinted mirrors, dancing pole and cucumber cocktail might allude to a kinky disposition, this Vasastaden favourite was actually once a shoe shop. The ‘video’ in ‘video bar’ refers to the Studio 54–style films projected onto a screen, which is easily upstaged by the hip young crowd, super-cool tunes (from retro to electro) and mighty red mojitos. Head in before 10pm or be prepared to queue.

Allmänna Galleriet 925
AG925 has all the ‘It kid’ prerequisites – an obscure urban location (ex-silver factory and anonymous facade), post industrial fit-out (steel-plate floors, white-tiled walls, Tom Dixon lights) and edgy art slung on the walls. While the bistro is mostly a hit-and-miss affair, the grit-chic bar never fails to impress with its well-priced, well-mixed liquids.

Torget
For camp and Campari, it’s hard to beat this sparkling gay bar – think rotating chandeliers, mock-baroque touches and different themed evenings, from live burlesque to handbag-swinging schlager. The sparkly crowd is a good source of info on upcoming underground parties, so grab yourself a champers and chat away, sweetie.

Cocktail Club@Grodan Grev Ture
Hiding somewhat incongruously below a mock-baroque dining salon is one of Stockholm’s best party spots, Cocktail Club. Expect A-list DJ talent from Stockholm to London and Berlin (including Ben Watt, Alan Braxe and Eric Prydz), all working the wax and pumping out house and electro for Stockholm’s sweat-soaked club kids.

Nada
Forget Raymond. Everybody loves Nada. With its soft orange glow, mini chandelier and decadent black-toned back bar, this cosy establishment pulls Söder’s 20/30-something party people. Nightly, DJs play everything from alternative pop to ’80s retro while the Raspberry Sour is the undisputed hit at the bar.

M/S Gerda Bar
While the nosh at neighbouring Kungsholmen wins hands down, this sassy floating bar is a fine place to sip daiquiris and catch a summer breeze. The playground of professional types (some of whom arrive by private boat), it’s also a good place to snag yourself a cashed-up Swedish plaything.

Obaren
This bar deep inside Sturehof restaurant is a popular late-night, last-call stop; it’s less manic at other times, and a cool place to hang out. The standing-room-only bar at the front of Sturehof is a popular after-work rendezvous and the perfect place to flaunt those new House of Dagmar threads.

Lemon Bar
A favourite among locals for its laid-back vibe, the Lemon Bar epitomises the kind of comfy neighbourhood joint you can drop into on the spur of the moment and count on finding a friendly crowd and good music, mostly Swedish pop hits that may or may not result in dancing.

Bara Vi
Decked out in shagalicious floral wallpaper and plush red sofas, ‘Just Us’ is a popular hangout for trendy 30-somethings who like their drinks list long and smooth. Every second Wednesday from 8pm, Bara Unplugged (Skr30) sees local indie acts hit the stage.

Absolut Icebar
Okay, it’s touristy. But you’re intrigued, admit it: a bar built entirely out of ice, where you drink from glasses carved of ice at tables made of ice. The admission price gets you warm booties, mittens, a parka and one drink. Refill drinks costs Skr85.
