O'Connells appeared and sure, it's an Irish pub in Stockholm but why not? I popped in and had a Guinness while connecting to their wifi. I was here for about an hour, watching the comings and goings of the regulars and the visitors from a high-top table against the wall. The Guinness was delicious as it always is and the bar is comfortable. [Review 18048 overall - 7 in Sweden - 1569 of 2022.]

Found this as an unranked ( or maybe just ranked low) bar on the world's 50 best bars list in…read moreStockholm. The bar is small, unassuming and finds itself on a street filled with conspicuous, Italian restaurants hosting happy hours for corporate Swedes. The bar is a standout for the drinks, the trademark Swedish charisma and genuine warmth. As a side, shout out to Sweden for having the nicest, most welcoming people in the world. We were given a standing table when we got in, but quickly moved to a couple of seats by the bar. We were one of 8 couples at the bar, so yes, very date night vibes. For our first round of drinks, we got the Easy Martini and Let them Eat Cake. The latter was too sweet for our liking but the Easy Martini had the perfect amount of sweet and tart. Our second round was the winner with the Girl Dinner and their Old Fashioned. The Girl dinner was crafted to perfection and possibly the best version of a martini we've ever had. The old fashioned too, made with WhistlePig 10 years was fantastic. The service cannot be faulted, we profusely thanked the lovely bartender, vowing to crow about it to whoever cares to listen and to be back when we are in Stockholm next.

Food was actually shockingly good for a pub. I had the pasta…read morechicken filet that included sausages in a tomato cream sauce, basically penne ala vodka in addition to a Brooklyn Larger. My huband had their cheese burger with fries and we order a smapler platter for our boys: Nachos, two chicken wings, calamari, mozzarella sticks, sour cream and salsa. Fresh tasting and well made. Service was friendly and we didn't have to wait to long for our orders or to settle the tab. Cost was about what you would pay in NYC. I'd be back.

My wife had the vegetarian pasta and thought it was just ok, I had the filet mignon, and it wasn't what I am used to as far as filets go, but it was really good and actually really reasonable. The fries that came with it were delicious and piping hot, even at that time of night, and they have a pretty extensive beer menu. Outdoor seating has heating, and its a nice place to just chill and people watch. Definitely recommended.

Really awesome American experience here. The Boston Umami Burger is Da Bom. Really really good!…read more The bartender recomended the the Carnigan Amber Ale to go with it. Loved it. However, it was really tempting for me to go for the Budweiser or Pabst or Sam Adams, just because I could. This place is a nice slice of American pie right in the middle of an oh so cool part of Stockholm. Try it! You won't be disappointed. Oh, and the manager, Antonio , and wing man Danny really know how to take special care of the oh so American customer experience. Thanks guys!

Bortmatch is something as rare as a sport bar actually trying to also provide a good food…read moreexperience. Being someone who appreciates good food, nice wine as well as being interested in sports I have had so many horrible food experiences (think O'learys) at sport bars. Bortamatch is located at östermalm half a stair down from street level at Society. I ventured here to watch some Champions League football. They do have multiple TV screens and when I was there they were showing 3 games at the same time. Sound was only from one game so perhaps not optimal but still understandable as the place is not that big and it is just one big room. Service was in general fast and friendly and knowledge about the beer was good but they were not that familiar with the wine list. Still a good wine list with some interesting options for sparkling wines. The beer list was however a bit short and not that exciting considering that it is probably more popular with beer than wine at a sport bar. Menu had numerous dishes that sounded really tasty but eventually settled for the ox cheek with truffled mash. Very well executed and decent price so have found my favorite sport bar. Will be back!

Been here a couple of times now, it's a nice change from the bars we usually hang out at!…read more It's pretty small but not that nearly as crowed as other bars and they have used their space efficiently with a bar in the middle that can serve a large number of guests! The music is EDM mix with popular music although I've only been here late night when we know the DJ. The place is located in the neighbourhoods of other great clubs so all in all a good place to keep in your arsenal and a nice bar to start the night out at!

At that hour, they only had snacks, burgers & fish & chips available. But, we were surprised at the variety of beer on tap; they even had Lagunitas! I settled for the bartender's recommendation: the UnderCover (Bacon, Cheddar cheese & Smokehouse Steak Sauce.) No complaints - really big and tasty burger. It was about $18 after conversion though, but that's pretty standard for Stockholm!

Louis R loves to hit up bars in Sweden where only local Scandinavians go to chat and get drunk…read more This is that bar. Located in a more chill area of Stockholm, not the crazy packed Old Town, this low-key bar is a perfect place to grab local beers and talk shit with your buds, your co-workers, your family, etc. The barkeep was cool AF, and quick with the drinks. Decor is nothing extravagant...this isn't the JerZ Shore, duh. Its more of a dive/max'n relax pub, not a meet market...except when Louis R chose to drink and socialize here.

This place is not worth it for the money…read more The ribs were overly salty and drenched in bbq sauce. When I bit in, the meat was dry. The fries are too greasy which also means soggy.

Olearys been around for quite a bit now so ive been to a lot of their restaurants…read more Concept from the beginning was easy, simple food that you can eat while enjoying a sports event. So far so good, but lately i noticed that food quality has gone down. Last time i visited this venue in Gamla stan the place was packed and service slow. They are fortunate enough that most ppl dont put to much consideration about the food, due to the sports. But in my case, when you as a customer start focus on other things rather than sport, your warning flags are raised, and the restaurant probably got it wrong somewhere. This could be the perfect spot to get together and have a semi-live sport experience along with some great food. But when the prices are getting steeper and mains worn down, I rather spend my time and money somewhere else.
