One of Stockholm's classic inner city bars. Don't miss the back bar 'Lilla Baren' for great DJ sets from every genre and silent films projected on the walls. The restaurant has amazing food. A bit pricey but great. Also great for people spotting. This is great for people between ages of 30-50. Lots of famous faces walking around.
