Bar ‱ Cocktail bar ‱ Live music bar

👍 A burlesque show in a speakeasy place? Sounds good, so we went to check it out. Bottom line is that it was a great experience. Our host was a cool guy with a great voice when he went out singing. When we were about to leave he told us to wait a couple of minutes, that a performer was about to start... People often mention drinks, staff, good, show, atmosphere, great, burlesque, performers, wonderful, time,

When we were about to leave he told us to wait a couple of minutes, that a performer was about to start her show and we couldn’t miss it, and he was right. All members from the staff were nice.

    Absolutely amazing place. Now, when there's social distancing in place I love it even more. You can talk without shouting, see the scene and really enjoy the atmosphere. The shows were great, with a lot of flair, passion and joy. The drinks were tasty and I can't wait to come back. I actually hope they will keep it this way even after the restrictions eases up.

    Fantastic place! The staff is really awesome with a cool, sassy attitude! They're really service minded and also talented performance artists! There's a little show every half hour or so, and the quality is great. They really make it a nice evening to remember :) I can imagine though that people that lack a sense of humor and maybe don't understand sassy, sarcasm and darker, sexier humor, might get a very unpleasant vibe from the staff, haha. I think they should definitely not fall for the pressure of pleasing the people that lack a sense of humor :)

    My first visit, went with friends who recommended it. Good food, nice service and fantastic atmosphere. Loads of entertainment during the whole evening. Highly recommended! Reasonable food prices, but quite expensive drinks.

    A small soul of burlesque tucked among the buildings of Stockholm... Allow yourself this pleasure, whistle the performers, support them be loud, they certainly deserve it. Their website allows easy reservation♄

    Absolutely amazing must-see place! Celebrated my friends and my birthday yesterday and we got one hell of a show that none of us will ever forget. Also, OVATIONS for the fantastic singers & performers at MELT. They must be handplucked by someone with really good taste. They are insanely talented and belong on the stage of broadway. Not on a tiny stage in Sweden. We are definitely coming back!! 🎊

    Best host ever! Since we started the night until the end. He is just smartly hilarious! Performances, drinks, food, music, BINGO! we just had a wonderful experience last night! Thank you so much and we will definitely come back soon!

    Es war ein absolutes Erlebnis hier zu sein. Vom Empfang, ĂŒber die Showeinlage bis hin zu den Cocktails hat einfach alles gestimmt! Wir wurden ĂŒberaus freundlich empfangen und unsere Stimmung nach dem netten GesprĂ€ch deutlich angehoben. Uns wurden das Konzept der Bar erklĂ€rt und kaum saßen wir und hatten den ersten Cocktail bestellt, ging die erste Showeinlage los. Ich habe selten so viel gelacht und einfach amĂŒsiert durch die Gegend geschaut. Auch die Drinks und die Barkeeperinnen waren hervorragend. Ich werde noch lange an diesen Abend zurĂŒckdenken, danke dafĂŒr :)

    We had so much fun there! It's very inclusive place. We were very enjoying the performance. (Thank all the performers for the wonderful performance.) 😊 Drinks are good too, and the bartenders are also very friendly. It is a bit crowded in the Friday night, and we had difficulty to find a place to seat as all the tables had been reserved. So it would be better to make a reservation before you visit it. Still, it did not bother us that much. Love this place.❀

    We came here during a Thursday, and they were playing bingo. There were many open seats, but it was outrageously hot inside. The atmosphere was awkward because the emcee was a little too loud and intense for the few people who were there. We waited 20 minutes for someone to approach us about ordering our drinks *during this time we tried to approach the bar to order our own but were told to wait at our table to order. Once the round of bingo was over, there was a random one woman, one song "show" of a girl running from one end of the room to the other, removing articles of clothing to a very bizarre act, then nothing. Our drinks were not worth the extremely hot room or extremely long wait, so we opted to leave and have dinner elsewhere. I'm not sure how this place is on other evenings, but maybe we were just there on an off night. A really HOT off night. Had really high hopes, so was sadly disappointed, though the staff was very kind.

    Just left. What a bar. Service was excellent. Vibes on point. The acts were mind blowing. Couldn't recommend this bar more!!!

  • 4/5 Mina Kalantar H. 9 months ago on Google ‱ 21 reviews
    One of the more authentic speakeasy bars in Stockholm, complete with occasional burlesque shows. The punch bowls are nice to order and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. Staff and performers are friendly and accommodating. Go with a good attitude and you’ll have fun.

    A MUST visits when in Stockholm! Beautiful place!! I’m just so upset I didn’t know about this place before. The staff there is incredibly nice and sweet. If you see my lovely dude here (from the picture) be ready to one of the greatest performances ever! The jaw-drops could be seen everywhere! Only reason why I did not give 5-stars is because the drinks were a bit pricey, but super delicious!

    What a place! The first time I went here I did not know what to expect but leaving MELT that evening, I knew this was not going to be my last visit. Since then I often bring guests here. If you like great gatsby, or a bar with a different twist, this is the place for you. When you enter the bar you are brought back to the 1920's, not only by the decor, but also by the friendly host who will briefly explain the concept if it's your first time and guide you to a place to sit. After that you can sit back and enjoy some amazing drinks. The bar is the perfect balance between amazing entertainment acts (from singing to real burlesque shows) and cozy talking at the table. Everything in the bar completes the concept, it's just like stepping back in time. 5 stars well deserved!

  • 4/5 Nadya A. 4 years ago on Google
    Went there for Halloween. 2 stars for decor but 5 stars for staff making full effort in costumes, makeup and performances. Drinks were on pricey side but wouldn't mind coming back to watch the performances. They lost my partner's jacket, we had to wait there for more than 15 minutes as they were pretty unorganised.

  • 1/5 Anna R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice decor and atmosphere, but no further food or service. Had to wait a very long time to order. We had also booked a table downstairs but had to sit in the hall (Original) Fin inredning och trevlig atmosfÀr, men ingen vidare mat eller service. Fick vÀnta vÀldigt lÀnge pÄ att bestÀlla. Vi hade dessutom bokat bord pÄ nedre plan men fick sitta i hallen

    (Translated by Google) You go for the show and the mood. Too bad the food has gotten worse than I thought it was every year. VERY good drinks and lovely atmosphere though. Recommended! (Original) Man gÄr för showen och stÀmningen. Synd att maten blivit sÀmre Àn jag tyckte den var var 1 Är sedan. MYCKET bra drinkar och hÀrligt stÀmning dock. Rekommenderas!

    The receptionist said to us that we would have a great experience there when we just stepped in. And he was right! We love it there! Thanks for the show! 😉

  • 5/5 Ziad E. 2 years ago on Google
    A heavily atmospheric restaurant, invoking the spirit of early 1900s speakeasy's. The food is great but that's only half the experience at Melt bar. The main course is the performers from talented burlesque dancers to incredible singers. The combination of great food, nice drinks and the show makes this place a must fo an extraordinary restaurant experience.

  • 5/5 Skylar L. 1 year ago on Google
    A very intimate venue and certainly on the higher end of the price scale in the city, MELT is certainly one unique but totally lively venue. I'd certainly recommend it for a special occasion to enjoy it to the max, reserve a table (Minimum spend requirements per head do apply) and enjoy some brilliant performances and take advantage of the plentiful drinks that they have on offer, though be wary of prices as previously mentioned. This isn't a place for a casual get-together, it's for an occasion which I must say certainly does fit right in with the whole vibe and atmosphere of MELT! Food offerings looked brilliant but these require a table reservation so I had to do without but the bar staff were wonderful, the staff were wonderful and the performers were wonderful too. Tipping is encouraged and for those of you who don't have the Swedish mobile payment app "Swish", I'd strongly advise bringing some varying denominations of cash if you'd like to tip one of the performers!

  • 5/5 Jimmy S. 2 years ago on Google
    I totally love this place! First time here and had no expectations, but I was totally blown away. So many talented people and I love the food and drinks, if it was possible I'll probably live here! Soooo worth a visit and a couple of visits after the first one aswell!

  • 5/5 Tymosiak S. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been to many pubs, bars, clubs and theaters in Europe. This one however stood out as one of the most iconic, entertaining and friendliest places I've visited in less than an hour. It's a must try, one of a kind experience, you won't regret a single moment in there.

    If you're into speak easy and burlesque, this is your spot in Stockholm. Would recommend booking in the downstairs area. The most fab staff you could ask for!

  • 1/5 Daniel W. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice interior, great dance number and music. Unfortunately dominated by the exclusionary, male host - surprisingly authentic to the crude, narrow-mindedness, of a hundred years ago. Expect disturbing, underage, sexual innuendo and uncalled for body shaming of customers.

    Great atmosphere with warm staff attitude. Good drinks and shows every 15min, recommend reserving table in advance. Perhaps dimming light a little would improve setting.

  • 5/5 Daniel M. 4 years ago on Google
    Must place to visit if you're around Thursday to Saturday night. From calm after-work on Thursday with bingo session to crazy shows the 2 next nights. Staff is amazing and the atmosphere is worth your time.

  • 2/5 Damon R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Obviously I understood that the food would not be good, but that it would be so rogue they did not expect. The drinks save the rating somewhat, they were very good, the show was meh. The atmosphere like that. Sthlm deserves better. (Original) Det Àr klart jag förstod att maten inte skulle vara bra, men att den skulle vara sÄhÀr oseriös de vÀntade man sig inte. Drinkarna rÀddar betyget nÄgot, de va mycket bra, showen va meh.

    They used to have more relevant performances for such a place (burlesque, acrobatics, etc.) But these days it's just singers on the stage.

  • 5/5 John C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting place! The theme is a mix between weather performances and the ban period. The performers are really professional. Good drinks but you go here for the atmosphere. The only shortcoming is the few and sunken toilets. (Original) Intressant stÀlle! Temat Àr en blandning mellan variteförestÀllningar och förbudstiden.
