The Best Bars in North Södermalm

  1. Rank 1. Röda Huset

    Nordic Cocktail Bar

    Röda Huset, or The Red House, is a Nordic cocktail bar spread across three floors of a genuinely red building in central Stockholm. The drinks are built around Swedish produce, elderberries, local plums, cold-pressed carrots, and foraged herbs, with the menu laid out as a map of where everything came from. It holds a spot on the World's 50 Best Bars, and the whole operation has the quiet confidence of somewhere that doesn't need to explain itself.

  4. Rank 3. Tweed

    Cocktail Bar

    Tartan, not tweed, lines the walls and bar front here, a detail that sets the tone for the rest of the room. Tucked inside the Victory Hotel, this cocktail bar leans into a cosy, old-school gentlemen's club feel, with nautical odds and ends, model ships, and figureheads filling the cases and corners. The drinks follow the theme, folding in smoked sea salt and sea-foward flourishes. The kind of place where you settle in rather than pass through.


  5. Mahogany panelling and wall-to-wall carpet nod to the bank director's office that once occupied this building, which tells you everything about the mood at this intimate cocktail bar tucked off the Bank Hotel lobby. The room is small enough that the bartenders clock your preferences after a round or two and start steering accordingly. The signature list leans classic, with Old Fashioned riffs doing the heavy lifting.

  12. Floor-to-ceiling windows open onto a rooftop terrace on both sides, which makes Le Hibou feel less like a hotel bar and more like a very well-appointed penthouse you've somehow talked your way into. White marble bar, low leather sofas, chrome ceiling, the whole aesthetic. It has its own street entrance, mercifully separate from the hotel below. Capacity is tight, so on weekends the early arrivals win.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
