I tried all their IPAs and they were all good. Nothing like the Best West or East Coast beers in the US, but all were local (or European), and I appreciated the efforts to offer local Swedish IPAs. I was there before dinner, so ordered just an appetizer. I had the been tartare, and it was terrific. They provides all the ingredients (raw eggs, onions, capers, etc.), and the beer was very fresh. I appreciated they allowed us to carve out one person's order from the rest of us (he did not drink) and then we could split the bill easily with the server's help.

It really is an experience and being immersed in a culture and style is fun. Seating is limited so be sure to make reservations. Not a big fan of seating family style (with other families) and it is extremely warm inside. You may be put on the spot so if you are shy or introverted this may not be the experience for you. But otherwise, its definitely worth the fun. FOOD: Good but not great. Not a whole lot of variety. Various meats all cooked just right are available. Few side dishes and all root vegetables. We shared the Rurik's Feast so we would get a variety of meats and it was good. I really liked all three meats and it was worth it for the cost. I do wish there were different root veggies like potatoes. I don't know much Viking history so not sure how authentic, but they did have a nice variety of options. They did have risotto for the vegetarians (sure that wasn't part of the Viking staple!). SERVICE: Loved the music. Loved the atmosphere (except for the heat). Loved how friendly and nice everyone was. Service and plating were A+. COST: It was definitely worth it for the volume of food and the experience. Like I said, probably wouldn't come back, but definitely recommended for anyone who wants a fun and memorable night. Definitely worth doing once.

Omnipollos Hatt offers creative pizzas and great beer.

The pizza itself is a little greasy due to the chorizo, but otherwise excellent. The beer is the real bonus--Omnipollo's own brews, with everything from sours to dessert stouts. Perfect pairings for the pizzas. Atmosphere is laid-back and busy. Small space, order at the bar. Both indoor and outdoor seating available. We were lucky and grabbed a table outside. No reservations, so come early or plan to wait. Would definitely come back to try more. Solid spot for a casual, flavorful pizza!

Found this pub in Old Town Stockholm when we went to watch some weekend football matches (European…read morenot American). The pub itself had a good vibe where everyone was friendly and genuinely enjoying themselves. The decor of the pub was a lot of a lot of pub signs and usual things that you would find in a pub. It has a small but pretty cool layout when you could go down some winding stairs and find yourself in another seating area. Because of the pubs popularity and game time it was very packed in the bar area but the bar tender did a good job of attending to everyone. As for the food I enjoyed the fries we had and the vegan burger was alright. As you know my ratings go off of the expectations of how the place rates against similar places so as old school pubs go this was good, but do understand that typical old school pubs aren't well lit, don't have all balanced tables, and great seating in the entire place to enjoy the game. So if you're looking for those things you might want to check out some other places.

Even though the main area where the band sets up is a tight squeeze, it helped us to make friends with locals fast and had a great time. The FREE music is awesome too. I hated the fact that the bartender measured my gin when I asked for a G&T, but what the heck! this is Scandinavia right? I need to pre-game at the hotel next time before going out.

We tried an awesome infused beer with coffee & coconut (truly delicious) and a few others. If you're American, this is a legit place to come and check out some good quality non-American beer. The bartender was super friendly. We saw others ordering burgers, which looked great. I'd give this place 5 stars, but generally don't do that if I'm just stopping in once for a quick couple drinks. Would highly recommend, though!

This was our second traditional Swedish meatball experience and I found the meatballs here quite…read moredifferent from those at Blå Dörren (see separate review). These tasted like they were made with beef and pork, which is a more popular recipe than 100% beef. They were very soft, moist, and flavorful. But they didn't have the distinctly rich peppery taste and aroma like those from Blå Dörren. The brown gravy was creamy, rich, yummy but a bit sweet. As with every meatball dish that we saw in Sweden, they came with a side of lingonberries and mashed potato. We also ordered a pan-fried sea bass which was delicious - didn't I tell you that besides meatballs, Sweden (and Stockholm in particular) is well-known for their seafood? First off, the fish tasted very fresh. The skin was rubbed with rosé peppers and pan-fried to golden crispiness. The meat was soft and flavorful but without a hint of fishiness (good!). The yummy white wine sauce complemented the fish perfectly well. The entrée also came with sautéed baby white rose potatoes, sautéed baby vegetables, and a small tomato salad. They were served separately on the side (see picture).
