    A must visit. We sad outside as the indoors bar was fully packed, and we actually loved it. The person who welcomed us, turned the heaters on and it was perfectly fine. I forgot her name, but she was super friendly with us and loved it, very nice, kind and approachable. She is a super star! The Gemma cocktail that I ordered was out of this world. I can't wait to visit Stockholm and go back to this bar.

    Wow and just wow. 100% deserve all the awards. Loved reading the menu back to back and the story behind the origins of this bad. But seriously the cocktails are out of this world and I will try to come back every time i visit Stockholm. Thank you to Karl who accommodated us on the last minute (even though there was a mishap during the weekend).

    Small bar with a couple of backrooms for medium sized groups. Thumbs-up to the cocktails! Original, excellent, delicious cocktails. For whisky lovers, the Neck and Näck was a delight - Naked Malt Whiskey, Moscato d'Asti, Bergamot, Agave and White Tea. The snacks - the Burnt Comté & Marcona honey topped with almonds was small but incredibly tasty. The olives, mini chorizo were ok. Seating in the bar is a squeeze. Here the music is loud but upbeat. There is added noise of chatter from people all-around but a good place to watch the bartender in action. The rooms at the back of the bar are isolated. The setup feels like a conference meeting room but here you can choose to chill quietly or have your own group party and blast your own playlist with the mini portable speaker.

    Visited in August and sat outdoors. There was a slight slope on the street so it was not too comfortable to sit there. Got a nice greeting by one bartender at arrival, but our waitor was not as friendly. The drink is definetly well made, but the espresso martini I had was not really of my style.

    Amazing spot! Very friendly staff, if you are lucky enough to sit at the bar you can watch the bartenders making the drinks in front of you. Tried many drinks and they were all pretty good! Also there are olives, cold cuts and other tapas items to eat. If you like quality cocktails and friendly service this is your place. 🔥

    A bar called Gemma is an absolute delight. Superior cocktails served in a dimly-lit and cozy, warm, inviting space. By superior cocktails, we're talking everything from blow-your-mind innovative and flavorful elixirs to skilled renditions of the classics. These folks cocktail, and they cocktail well. They're em-effin' booze wizards making their magic happen for you. The magic doesn't stop in the glass, though. The service at A bar called Gemma is unparalleled. Generous and unpretentious. Welcoming. Again, a delight. Oh sure. A bar called Gemma has won all sorts of awards. You know what? They're deserved. A bar called Gemma is one-of-a-kind.

    Such delightful cocktails 🍹!! It’s at number 78 in Worlds 50 best bars list. Must try place for cocktail lovers. The bartenders are so kind and keep a check on you that everything is ok!! Loved their signature drink ‘Gemma’ & also coat in the rain. They do 30% reservations and keep 70% for walk-ins.

    My favorite bar, a must when in Stockholm! Really nice to sit outside in the summer and really fun to sit inside at the bar when its too cold outside! My favorite so far is pretty green and caught in the rain🍹Great service!

    First we had to wait 7 minutes to get our table because someone else was occupying it but after that everything went smooth. The people who work there can be quite loud from time to time but If you are okay with that then it's all good. They seem to enjoy their work a lot! I tried the three chapters with one drink from each chapter: Mark & Rona - Quite minty and very refreshing. Reverend Rye - Interesting flavors, the wine and pear flavors are dominant. Mole (shown in image) - My personal favorite as I am a big fan of negroni. It had a nice mix between the whisky, campari and the heat from the spiced tomato. I am definitely going back to try some other combinations from the chapters and really looking forward to Chapter IV!

    Great Ambience, Friendly Service, Fabulous Drinks. Not the longest cocktail menu in town, but the ones being served where served in perfection and with passion. We didn’t try or asked for anything outside the menu, but will try our luck next time!

    One of the coolest bars in the Nordics! Incredible cocktails, cool vibe and watching the very skillful and passionate staff was a mesmerising experience! A highlight for any cocktail-lover :)

  • 5/5 Maximilian H. 3 months ago on Google • 26 reviews New
    One of the best cocktail bars you can visit for sure! Absolutely amazing service, very friendly and warm! Most of the drinks are excellent both in taste and technique and the espresso Martini is definitely the highlight, with the white Cocoa adding a whole new face to this classic drink! Next time I'm in Stockholm, I will come back for sure!

  • 5/5 Hayley E. 8 months ago on Google
    Best cocktail bar in Stockholm. Staff is very friendly and there is a great vibe here. Cocktail menu often changes but is always great! They take reservations for 30% of their tables online so it is possible to walk in

    I think I found a Gem in the alleys of Stockholm. Delicious and professional cocktails, friendly staff 👌

  • 5/5 D S. 2 months ago on Google • 19 reviews New
    I adore this bar! The Pearly White is an exquisite cocktail. It is indeed a small neighborhood bar that is clearly beloved by the regulars. Service is on point and my visit was a highlight of my trip to Stockholm.

  • 4/5 無清 1 year ago on Google
    small bar, crowded. Not a typical place you’d imagined while having overpriced cocktails. Interesting menu, but not wow.

  • 4/5 Quentin C. 1 year ago on Google
    In this bar they know how to do cocktails! The place is cosy, it's a winter bar, the service is friendly, we really had a good time. It's a bit pricey but you pay for the quality!

    A great cocktail bar. Bartenders know their stuff. A little too packed sometimes but that contributes to the atmosphere. Great music also, at appropriate levels for talking. I could see this becoming my standard cocktail bar.

  • 5/5 Chef Gordan‘s N. 10 months ago on Google
    Unmittelbar zur Saluhall gelegen. Unscheinbar von aussen, innen gemütliche Atmosphäre. Die Bartender sind sehr professionell und es macht Spass ihnen zuzuschauen wie sie die Drinks herrichten. Die Karte ist klein und aufs wesentliche Gehalten, für jeden Geschmack ist etwas dabei, es macht Lust sich durchzuprobieren. Wir hatten zwei unterschiedliche Drinks, beide total lecker. Ich weiss nicht ob die Bar noch ein Geheimtipp ist, da sie Awards bekommen hat, aber ich würde sie definitiv empfehlen!

  • 4/5 Uta K. 7 months ago on Google
    Süsse kleine Bar in Stockholm! Absolutes Highlight der Barkeeper der mit vollem Einsatz die Cocktails zubereitet. Cocktails an sich für mich etwas zu klein...daher preislich eher gehoben. Man muss tatsächlich Glück haben einen Platz zu bekommen...aber bei dem Geschmack der Cocktails zu verstehen

  • 5/5 Emanuel Reuithe L. 7 months ago on Google
    A lovely bar with a passion for the craft of cocktails with large taste. I tried their "Pretty Green" and it was a taste experience like no other and their Negroni was perfectly balanced! The staff made sure that we were satisfied and the atmosphere was all around great and cozy. I will definetly return 🥃

  • 5/5 Jacopo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Its reputation says everything there is to say about this bar, which is rated to be one of the best cocktails bars in the world. The environment is very enjoyable in the center of the city, the staff is very friendly and useful. Obviously the strong point is the cocktail offering: various, not obvious, intriguing and surprising. There is really something for all tastes and vibes in this menu. Great great place.

  • 5/5 Eva-Maria K. 8 months ago on Google
    Such a cute bar with wonderful staff and delicious cocktails ❤️ it's always hard for me to decide what to drink but the staff is super helpful and so I ended up having the best cocktail!

  • 5/5 Aleksandra R. 7 months ago on Google
    We tried Ni’hau Babe and Roam around, Ghost water and a non alcoholic drink. All of them were well balanced and tasty.The stuff was really friendly and helpful when choosing the drinks.

  • 5/5 Ed M. 8 months ago on Google
    It was a great experience. The team have really made an effort to create interesting cocktails and clearly have a passion for their work. Will definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Johan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great cocktails. Knowledgable and service oriented staff. Smaller venue so worth making a reservation. Highly recommend a visit

  • 5/5 Emma 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing experience and the drinks were so well made! The team there were attentive, very friendly and made me feel very welcome.

  • 5/5 Mariana M. 1 year ago on Google
    The vibe is everything. Good cocktails and well crafted. Staff take their job quite seriously. Having said that I had a super sweet cocktail although I mentioned I dislike sweet things, chose something off the menu - but could have been guided better. Asked for lemon juice to fix it and got it , so no offense taken on both sides. Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Taylore F. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible spot that I will definitely revisit! Creative cocktails, cozy/calm atmosphere, and kind staff. As a newcomer to living in Stockholm, I immediately felt at home and welcome, which goes a long way. Thanks again and until next time!

  • 5/5 Ioannis P. 1 year ago on Google
    Can't give anything else than 5 stars. We tried a couple of cocktails from their "classics" (the "Pearly White" and "Pink Haze") and I was impressed by the complexity and balance of flavours. The service was great and the interior looked really cosy and with an obvious attention to details. The cocktail list was really intriguing and I can't wait to get back and try some more (and probably sit by the bar and watch the magic happen) :)

  • 5/5 Simon B. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a nice bar. Wanted to pass by for one cocktail and stayed for four. Bar is super-nice and feels like a neighbourhood-bar. Good Music. Stuff was friendly and had a lot of fun doing what they love. Cocktails were amazing.
