We came across this place more by luck than judgement. It looks so quiet and unassuming on the outside - then you open the door and find it's absolutely heaving!!!
It's open 'til midnight Mon-Fri and 1am Sat and Sun, and it really does get busy - so get there early if you are going for the evening to listen to the live music and you want a seat. Oh yeah.... the seats.... downstairs the seats are lets say... comfy, well worn - it all adds to the cavern-like ambience, candle wax and celtic art. The locals are friendly too. A pint of Caffreys is around 48SEKs - but I don't actually drink beer so don't take my word for it :)

First of all to get into this place you must get there around 11:00 p.m. if not you won't get in....even if your with hot looking girls.........But if you manage to get in the place is ultra cool, ultra slick.......be aware the drinks are very expensive around 120 SEK a drink...that's about $20 US for a vodka cranberry.....last call is at 2:30 and at 3 :00 a.m. the light come on, and the music stops !!!!!! Well worth the try to get in.... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!

Had pre-dinner drinks in here with VTer marielexoteria and her husband one Sunday night.
An English style pub, and pretty deserted at that time. It has a huge selection of beers. I started with Staropramen (dark) and then moved on to Harviestoun's Bitter & Twisted (a local Scottish real ale).
Staff were English, but friendly enough.
It is close to the central railway station, so no doubt popular with commuters.
Dress Code: None.

I stopped in here for a quick one after my post dinner stroll by the water.
I had a little jolt to my system on the way back to the hotel, and wanted something to take my mind off it.
69 SEK for a pint of local lager (Bryggmasterens). Pricey by UK standards, but it sure keeps the riff raff out.
Mostly inhabited (at about 9pm) by businessmen relaxing after a tough day.
Dress Code: A Hugo Boss suit & a briefcase?

Belgobaren started as a beer and whiskey bar and progressed into a restaurant with some Belgian and Swedish cuisine. They offer a big selection of Belgian beer (you won't find anything local there) both in draft and in bottles, and with every dish they have in their menu they recommend the right beer for it.
I visited this bar with VT'er iaint and we had dinner there (portions too big for us to eat completely) and good beer, regular and fruity ones. One thing I liked is that the noise level is low enough to carry a conversation without having to shout. They also show big sports events (in this case, the football world cup.
Dress Code: Come as you are.

Finest British pub in Stockholm...Now 41 years old.
The Tudor Arms has a special place in my heart and connection
as the owner, Chris Bellows is from the Isle of Wight and even
a barman called Pat was also from Ryde on the Island like me.
Long before I moved to Stockholm in 1979, the stories about Stockholm
and the Tudor Arms were the stuff of legends. Even one of my sisters
old boyfriends from the Island worked in Stockholm for over a year
as a dental technician and I heard all sorts of stories.
I even met the then Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme back in
1980 coming out of the Ostermalm Tunnelbana and asked him
directions to the Tudor Arms. Sadly he was assassinated in the street
in 1986 when coming out of a cinema with his wife. That was the end of
Swedish politicians mingling with the general public.
The ***TUDOR ARMS*** opened it's doors to the thirsty Stockholm public in October 1969 as the first pub of its kind in Sweden. It was a hit from day one and even today, after the opening of countless imitations around town, it retains its reputation for being the only true British pub in Stockholm. Chris and his dedicated staff, now into the 2nd generation, have been running The Tudor Arms for over 40 years, so if you´re looking for a Great British Pint, some homemade Steak and Mushroom Pie, want to watch live Premiership football, need to brush up your English, or just want to feel completely at home, please go for a visit.
It was the staple event every year when I took my English student groups there for an end of term meal and drink where ENGLISH only was enforced for the evening!
Dress Code: Kilts, jeans or whatever you fancy.

Well, you dont have to dress up if you visit this bar. They have some times live music and here you only go to get drunk. It is not the best place, but I had fun here but that is a long time ago. I went here some Wednedsdays and drank with my student friends in Stockholm. That was fun here and all kind of people came here.
Dress Code: It doesnt matter what you wear.

I have been here acouple of times. Snaps is situated on Medborgarplatsen and during the summer it is very pleasant to sit outside and drink beer or what you want to drink. They have many tables outside in the sunshine.
Dress Code: Normal. No special, and during the summer, just summer clothes.
