In the basement of the legendary Blues and Jazz club Stampen, you’ll find the considerably spicier Geronimos FGT. Besides being a rock club and concert venue, Geronimos FGT offers a menu of southern American classics and spicy Mexican food.

Scandic Grand Central

Trendy New York-inspired hotel bar in downtown Stockholm near Central Station. Grand Central by Scandic draws hotel guests as well as Stockholm locals who come in for a drink after work - and there is plenty of room for all. If not in the bar, in the lobby or one floor up. The hotel restaurant, Teaterbrasseriet, is on the ground floor.

A photo of the Källarbyn café's entrance doors, leading from a cobbled street down a cosy red-brick passage to the café itself. The doors are framed with spruce branches, and blackboard signage with a handwritten menu in neat writing.

Källarbyn

In spite of its prime location in the tourist-dense Old Town, Källarbyn has earned a reputation among its many regulars for being not only cozy and authentic, but even and good value. The atmospheric 18th-century cellar with its eclectic decoration attracts mixed crowds. The frequent live concerts, extensive wine (– and tea!) list, and multiple vegan options all make for a – sometimes lively – café experience worth remembering.

Lilla Hotellbaren

A spacious, elegant lounge on the ground floor of Scandic Malmen. The modern style suits all occasions and the central location by Medborgarplatsen on Södermalm is a good place to meet friends for a drink. Live music and DJs several nights a week. Mostly jazz.

San Franscisco and Bay area based singer and The Monophonics frontman Kelly Finnigan is soul. His album of his own soul songs on Colemine Records is also proof that everything old can become new again. Kelly Finnigan’s weightless, honest expression echoes the days when bright bluesy soul music dominated the radio. The album A Lover Was Born is a testimony that these album tracks are not about nostalgia, they belong to the burning heart of longing and hope. Not retro, contemporary.
