This is the state-operated liquor store in the Hötorgshallen, Systembolaget. Living in North…read moreCarolina, I'm used to this sort of thing. The authorities like to control distribution of alcohol and in Sweden it is done through this organization that is generally referred to as "the system." They are the ONLY retail store in Sweden that is allowed to sell alcoholic beverages that have more than 3.5% alcohol by volume. If you're looking for better beer (take away) and spirits (like vodka, rum, gin, and such), this is it. Prices are clearly marked and aren't excessive. An interesting effect to this is that you might find some bargains on name brand spirits compared to the more generic brands. There are no specials and all are sold at room temperature, i.e., beer is not refrigerated. Be prepared to show some sort of identification to purchase. Note that Systembolaget's stores close by 8 pm on weekdays and 3 pm on Saturdays. They are not open on Sunday, or certain holidays. So plan your drunken debauchery ahead of time, or just go hit up a pub. [Review 18713 overall - 47 in Sweden - 2236 of 2022.]

This place is trying to fill the gap in the market left by the fact that government owned monopoly selling alcohol is not allowed to sell beverages that has low alcohol content (they can sell alcoholic beverages aa well as non-alcoholic beverages). The beer revolution has also brought along numerous small breweries who also make good and interesting low alcohol beer. The range in this small store is pretty good, when I was there I would estimate around 20 different producers and around 40-50 different products being offered. The prices range from around 20 SEK to around 35 SEK and one can also have the beers there. I like the concept but would want a larger range and also a clearer shelf system as everything was now just mixed and when asking about a Polish beer (only had Polish text on it so could not even figure out if it was a lager, stout or ale or whatever) the staff had no clue either. In this type of nerdy store I would want them to be able to let me know both basics and some nice stories about all the producers. Still a nice and very hipster addition to the area and like that it is possible to enjoy the beer on site as well.

Louis R loves local Swedish pubs close to his 5-star hotel…read more This spot is located on the corner of the main street and the tables outside, filled with local Swedes chatting and drinking, make it easy to find. Don't get intimidated if everyone is speaking Swedish, within, as this is a true local joint. And yes, the menu ain't in 'Murrican. Sorry bruh. The salmon with potatoes was clutch, actually, all the fish dishes here will be on-point. The barkeep was affable and can help you select legit choices in fare as well as drinks. Go with the local beers. Do it. Since this spot is not in Old Town, there won't be many tourists, which suits Louis R.

I had dinner in the second room. I would advise you to book a table (I got lucky, someone had booked but cancelled last minute so my friends and I could sit). I had a burger, the meet was very tender and juicy. The fries look like crazy Macdonalds fries but they were actually much better than that, and came with a homemade aioli sauce. I was also super tempted to take tartare steak, the table next to us had some and it looked really good. As it was my first time I wasn't sure of the quality of the meet, but now I know it's good, so next time I'll definitely have that!
