Akkurat
This down-to-earth drinking hole boasts 400 whiskeys, a huge selection of Belgian ales and a good range of Swedish-made microbrews, notably the semi-divine Jämtlands Bryggeri trio Heaven, Hell and Fallen Angel. It has mussels on the menu and free live R&B and rock on Sunday nights.

Debaser
Edgy, raw and tucked away under an overpass, this legendary rock club hosts live independent and bigger-name acts most nights.

Sister club Debaser Medis rocks on at Medborgarplatsen.

Jazzclub Fasching
Fasching turns Swedish sobriety on its head with kick-ass jazz, swing and tango jams from local and international cool cats.

Kgb
Skip the hit-and-miss menu at this ode to Red Russia (think Lenin statue, Communist banners and a Stalin-wannabe cloakroom attendant) and head straight down to the gritty bunker-style bar. Here, laid-back indie types get happy on vodka, DJ tunes and fortnightly Friday bands.
-
Marie Laveau
Housed in a former sausage factory, this kicking Söder playpen draws boho-chic hedonists who like to party till (relatively) late. While the grunge-chic bar and restaurant serves killer cocktails and fusion food, the sweaty downstairs club keeps punters grinding to live bands or hot name DJs from Stockholm to Noo Yoik.
-
Mosebacke Etablissement
This multifunction party palace is a thumping institution. August Strindberg once hung out here, the lofty terrace is a summer-night must, and the club nights are among the city's best - don't miss veteran Friday favourite Blacknuss, with its gospel/soul/R&B tunes. Theatre and cabaret also make the occasional splash, while regular live-music jams span from Aussie rock to Nordic indie pop.
-
Nalen
First a dancehall, then a church, plush-looking Nalen is back to its old tricks, pumping out infectious live gigs from jazz and indie soul to sing-song synths. There are three halls, open when bands are playing, so scan the website for upcoming gigs. The downstairs bar is tiny and crowded.
-
Nybrokajen 11
The former home of the Royal Academy of Music now accommodates the Rikskonserter (Swedish Concert Institute). The graceful main hall boasts killer acoustics and hosts mostly local and international chamber music. The smaller adjoining Stallet, a converted stable, is home to Swedish folk and world music.
-
Pet Sounds Bar
While the restaurant does decent Italo-French dishes, the real fun happens downstairs in the glam-grunge basement. Perpetually packed with indie die-hards, SoFo fashionistas and the odd Goth rocker, expect a mixed bag of live bands, release parties and kick-ass weekend DJs.
-
Södra Teatern
If it's fiery flamenco, gypsy wedding tunes or Muslim stand-up comedy from London you're after, chances are you'll find it at this cultural hothouse, complete with lush La Scala-style theatre. Check the website for upcoming events, which range from live world music to erudite debates and the monthly exotica of club night Re:Orient.

Stampen
This one-time pawn shop is better known as one of Stockholm's legendary music clubs, swinging to live blues and jazz every night. Past guests have included Swedish jazz great Monica Zetterlund, Woody Allen, and American blues legend Tino Gonzales, who rocked up unannounced one day, stepped up on stage and got grooving at Stampen's free Saturday Blues Jam ( to Saturday).
