    A perfect place to watch football while enjoying your meal. We ordered gnocchi and beef, which were excellent. We love the food. We didn’t wait for a long time to get the food although there were many customers there. Great customer service. Highly recommended. 😃👍

    Traditinal pub, opens late until 1am but kitchen closes at 11pm which is one of the latest in this area. Tried Swedish meatballs and Vegetarian risotto, both are good but not gourmet standard, it is a pub after all. Good selection of beer including my favourite Chimay off the tap. Ambiance and clients are pleasant with pleasing musics of the 80s. Bartenders are nice people :)

    Popped in for one beer and stayed. I was pleasantly surprised when a member of staff told me about the selection of Swedish craft beers available. I love sour beers and two staff members tonight continue to be very helpful and knowledgeable about the beers. I couldn't ask for more.

    Bishops Arms has always been a safe choice and a place to enjoy good food or a drink in a cosy atmosphere. Today was, unfortunately, completely different. Is it just this pub failing or is it Bishops in general? When I entered the restaurant it was crowded but far from full. I stopped by a table to talk with a couple of friends I didn't expect to meet. Moved on to the classical sign "Wait for the Waiter to be started" and waited, waited, waited and... After about 5 minutes with no-one from the staff even close I walked to the bar and asked if I could just sit down at a table? -Of course, just sit down and I will bring the menus in a minute, was the answer. With no clean, free tables, I moved all dishes on my own from one free table to another with left dishes and waited, waited, waited.... After 15 minutes with waiters serving other tables but consciously ignoring me, understaffed or not service oriented doesn't matter I wanted contact, I had enough and walked to the bar to talk to the same person who said I could just sit down. This is where the review goes from two to zero. -Hmm, okay I may have forgotten. Today is busy. No "sorry", no "Ohh Please sit and I will come with the menu right away, do you want something to drink meanwhile?". Just an empty face like I didn't exist. This could have been just bad luck and me talking to the wrong person but no-one seemed to care 😢

    Will never ever set foot in here again... Shocking price for 2 gin and tonics... 2 x 6cl Monkey 47 gin and tonics... SEK672.00 what the royal f@$k.... SEK56.00 per cl... when if I were to buy from Systembolaget, it would cost 8Krs per cl... this is highway robbery... and they most likely buy much cheaper... Shocking, shocking, shocking... You are literally taking the proverbial... First and last...

    A British pub with a good selection of beers. This pub is very close to the train station in central Stockholm. Here you don't order at the table, you have to go to the bar and order. The pub is very large and has a homely and cozy interior with appropriate paintings, ceiling paintings and lighting. Kind staff and good service.

    Racist place in 21st century in heart of Stockholm, the impolite door man blocked my wife and my way and told us until you don’t say where are you from you cannot enter! At the same time ppl who don’t look foreigner entered without question. If manager is reading this review and care, please contact me.

    We went here from the laughing duck as the personnel there was very rude and not paying attention to their customers, even though the place was empty. At bishops arms we were treated very well, thank you! Recommend bishop arms as it is close to the central as well if you are traveling after (as I am) 💛

    Ok. Was quite busy, even during the week. Food was good, but nothing special. Lots of different beers on tap.

  • 3/5 Eugeniu L. 2 months ago on Google • 149 reviews New
    Fish and chips was great 👍 the burger was ok 👌 but the lamb dish with lamb sausages was very poor, doesn’t make sense with the rest of the menu as well 🥲

    Variety of beers, great service, excellent atmosphere...

  • 3/5 Alan D. 2 months ago on Google • 72 reviews New
    Nice pub with a relaxed atmosphere and good selection of beers. Background music is kept low, so it's a good place for a quiet evening with friends. The Bombardier ale was quite good.

  • 2/5 Arvi L. 3 months ago on Google New
    Good selection of beers. Bad service. Pub is way too big for the number of employees they have. Cannot order from table… Close to Arlanda Express station…

  • 5/5 Mila S. 6 months ago on Google
    Stopped by for a scotch on the rocks, which was good.

  • 2/5 Roman K. 10 months ago on Google
    The pub itself is not bad at all. The problem is I was double charged for $73. I’ve texted them on all social media platforms and also sent a message through the website but didn’t get any response. And they are still posting new photos. Maybe the owner should think of hiring new SMM specialists…

    Love this place, the food was delicius

  • 3/5 Mikael N. 6 months ago on Google
    Staff is awesome, beer prices are surprisingly high for a Bishops Arms. I didn't eat, but the people in our group that did were happy with their dishes.

  • 5/5 Charles H. 8 months ago on Google
    On a non party night, this is a cool place to swing into and have a few drinks. It has a much different atmosphere on, say, Friday night, where there are security guards everywhere, and things do not feel as relaxed. Aside from party nights, this is a relaxed joint to have a few drinks, talk, and relax.

  • 5/5 Youssef H. 6 months ago on Google
    I always enjoy the fish and chips my usual order. Staff are friendly and service is good The location is perfect for anyone who wants to dine near Central Station Beer selection is good

  • 3/5 Pontus T. 1 year ago on Google
    I went to "The Bishops Arms" for a few Guinness.... I had two awful pints and moved on. Maybe it's a popular place but i wasn't impressed 😐 It was a truly a "Meh" experience..... Will not return.

  • 4/5 Lee S. 9 months ago on Google
    Good selection of ales but can be expensive. Difficult to avoid service charge when payment by card.

  • 5/5 Robin K. 10 months ago on Google
    Extremly competent and friendly staff. All kinds of beers and the possibility to try them before hand from the tap. recommended

  • 5/5 Eric K. 1 year ago on Google
    Typical pub with above average food. I enjoyed the fish and chips. Large portion of fish with plenty of fries. Went on a quiet Sunday night so friendly service. Card only, no cash.

  • 3/5 Mike L. 1 year ago on Google
    Ok metropolitan bar with alot of different beers

  • 4/5 Gaius W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great 'english' style pub in Stockholm just around the corner from Arlanda express. Plenty of choice of drinks from lagers through ales to stouts. Recommend a visit as it gives a warm reassuring welcome.

  • 4/5 The world is waiting to be e. 1 year ago on Google
    Good beer selection. Nice atmosphere. Expensive. 109 sek a beer $11. Most I’ve paid so far in Stockholm.

  • 3/5 Jenza 3 years ago on Google
    Great British inspired pub chain. The fish and chips is cooked the traditional British style, and is excellent.

  • 5/5 Miro 3 years ago on Google
    A very decent place for a pint Close to the railway station, this quasi-Anglo/Irish pub is a pleasant place to stop-off for a pint. We didn't eat here but there's a huge choice of beer or spirits, promptly served and reasonably priced. A couple of post-dinner drinks sent us on our way to bed in fine style

  • 1/5 Sea O. 1 year ago on Google
    No customer care service, the lady at the bar was arrogant poured our drink and didn't even want to clean it. Would never go back again or recommend

  • 3/5 Flip W. 1 year ago on Google
    Somehow without charm and the waiters were not in a good mood that day. Too bad. Its ok for one beer, definitely nothing for the whole evening. There are better bars in the area.

  • 5/5 Beep 1 year ago on Google
    Stumbled upon The Bishop' Arms by accident on St. Patrick's Day. We had good food and way too much to drink!
