    … Here you might find best cocktails in town, normal beer. The interior decoration, the counter and the restrooms are world class. We had a couple of beers in the terrace at the coach. Beers were not special. However, the views towards the square and the Nobel Museum well deserved a relaxing stop here. You will not regret. Restrooms are one of the best I have seen in Stockholm.

    Absolutely love this place. A fascinating, mad scientist approach to cocktails and flavours with staff who display real passion and a deep interest and knowledge of their craft. Unique cocktails with a great setting, something very special and a great way to round out an evening in the old town. You won't regret it.

    A cozy and quite small cocktail place in the middle of the historic Gamla stan. We came there 30 minutes early but they still let us in and led us to our table, great service! Waiter was very friendly and gave us loads of information about the drinks. The drinks I had were: Tantris sidecar - A variation on the old classic. Not that complex of a drink but still quite tasty. Took a while to fully appreciate it, maybe it needed to become warmer? Presentation was lacking. 3,8/5 ⭐ Blueberry wind - Interesting cocktail. A bit intimidating at first with the heavy vinegar smell but tastes better than the smell. This one also took a while to fully appreciate. I like the edible component that complements the drink. Without it the vinegar would have been too overpowering. 4/5 ⭐ The reason why I gave the place 4 stars is because of the drinks, they felt underwhelming and not up to par with other cocktail places I've tried in Stockholm. Perhaps I ordered the wrong cocktails for me or maybe I wasn't in the mood for these kind of cocktails, who knows. This review however reflects the experience I had that evening. Service and everything else was flawless. I will definitely come back and try some other ones just to see if it was just these two cocktails that were lacking!

    I usually avoid central square restaurants, (maybe the bars less) and i rarely recommend them, as often they profit from the constant tourist afflux and become traps However in this case I had a good feeling about it, starting with the name and coziness, visible from the outside I was tempted to go home and do online errands but somehow the place was tempting and seems to fit my vibe so I gave it a chance The menu is spot on, service is modern and the atmosphere attractive. However we mostly come to these places for cocktails and I can say it didn't disappoint at all and all the ensemble gave me the impression that this place deserves more recognition Bravo

    Hands down best cocktails we had in a long time. Crafted so well, and with interesting details. Interior design is amazing, well suited and service is also great. We’ll definitely return on next trip to Stockholm! We had 4 rounds, total of 7 different cocktails and each is more amazing than the previous one, but our favourite ones were Imaginarium and Backyard Booze.

    Very nice and fun place. It’s better if you book instead of going directly, otherwise you might need to wait, it’s much more easier with booking. Place is very cozy, drinks are original and tasty. Also they have many options. Loved it ❤️

    Great atmosphere in the center of Gamla Stan - we stopped by for cocktails and they have a creative and we'll crafted selection of unique cocktails that certainly did not disappoint. Would definitely stop by again just for the drinks!

    I know it’s not easy to go for a classic cocktail when the menu has so many original and out of the ordinary options. That said, I can highly recommend drinking a Negroni here, it’s perfectly crafted (165 kr).

    A great cocktail bar in Gamla Stan, the Stockholm old town. It has both outside and inside seating. Outside, there is a very nice view of the square, with the fountain and the Nobel museum on the other side of the square. Inside, the bar decor resembles an old pharmacy, in a dim lit atmosphere. One can observe the bartenders making drinks from many spots, not only while sitting at the bar. The cocktails are absolutely amazing. There is everything from the fruity refreshing cocktails to the rich and decadent ones. A lot of local creations, also in the way they are served. If you like espresso martini, you can't miss their own version of it called Black Pearl. Also the snacks, like fennel salami and simple flatbread pizza are very nice. The service is very friendly. Highly recommended.

    The menu is the highlight! Whoever designed it went above and beyond- it is so beautiful! Great location, unfortunately we had a busker singing the same 3 incredibly depressing songs on loop which ruined the atmosphere a bit. The cocktails were gorgeous but just good not WOW!

    I've visited Stockholm four times and Pharmarium serves up the best cocktails I've had in the city so far. The drinks are rotated frequently to keep things interesting. They're creative, unique, expertly mixed and presented and taste fantastic. The mixologists and servers are helpful and friendly. The decor is perfect, being cozy, colourful and designed to look like a retro pharmacy. It's well worth a visit and spending the cash on something special. Recommended!

    Came after reading all the reviews. This place was amazing. The atmosphere and eclectic decor was warm, cozy and inviting. Staff was friendly and attentive. The menu has a good assortment of drinks and all the drinks have different flavor profiles. About 160-190kr per drink. Highly recommend.

    Superb cocktail bar in central Gamla Stan. They offer maybe 15 ish cocktails, some of them classic and some with a creative twist. We liked the peach flavored one. The place was bustling with people at about 11pm, so be there early.

    I wanted spend half hour there but people and drinks kept me for 3hour. I had good experience with waiter from Lithuania and with bartenders bfeom France . I think good people with amazing flavour make this place legendary. I will come back there for sure if I will be again in stockholm ☺️ thank u for hospitality💙

    AMAZING COCKTAILS! The bartenders went above and beyond. The place has history and good music. A must for everyone that’s in Stockholm. The cocktail menu changes seasonally.

  • 5/5 Simon S. 9 months ago on Google
    A fantastic cocktail experience with the best flavor and mixes Stockholm can provide. I strongly recommend the “Imaginarium” cocktail. Rarely do I rate drinks 10/10 but this one surely deserves it. Enjoy!

    a must visit cocktail bar in gamla stan w/ only 45 seats. prepare to be wowed w/ uniquely crafted cocktails

  • 5/5 Harald B. 5 months ago on Google
    Fantastic cocktail bar in the Old Town of Stockholm, at the site of Sweden's first pharmacy. The drinks are tasty, very inventive and interesting, albeit a bit on the expensive side. The atmosphere is dark and cozy, with the decor drawing inspiration from the old pharmacy past. Service has been a bit varied over a number of visits, but generally very good, and the staff can help you find something you'll like. A big recommend!

  • 5/5 Simon B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good bar with nice atmosphere. Dark, cozy, beautiful. Nice techniques at the bar. The Signature menu is long but easy to read. Liked the artistic touch of the menu. Delicious cocktails!

  • 5/5 Valerie De P. 1 year ago on Google
    Really wonderful experience. Our bartender made one of the best mock tails I’ve ever had. My partner had a house gin and tonic and that was lovely. The bartender really made the difference. He was superb.

  • 5/5 Louise H. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow… beautiful place, great service and AMAZING cocktails. Staff knowledge (in a different language) about every drink, likes and dislikes and recommendations was exquisite. A must visit for Stockholm after 4pm!

  • 5/5 Celestia K. 1 year ago on Google
    These cocktails are all eccentric in presentation but have expertly crafted flavour profiles- though a little on the bitter side. For those who don't enjoy sweet drinks, the sweet cocktails here are all safe. The ambience is incredible, sophisticated but unpretentious. Great atmosphere, stellar bartenders who can accommodate and adjust based on your palate.

  • 5/5 Lloyd van den E. 2 years ago on Google
    The recipes of the cocktails here are extraordinary. A great cocktailbar defines itself by distinguishing them from their competitors. Pharmarium exceeds this with their friendly staff and amazing atmosphere. It's a good mix of locals and tourists in the bar. Do note that the prices are high.

  • 5/5 Simone 2 years ago on Google
    Bar with view of the Nobel museum. Great drinks selection with both seating inside and outside. Even if you don’t get a spot outside right away, sit at the bar and approach the waiter for a chance of an outside spot when it unoccupies. Besides a great champagne drink or espresso martini they have very unique glasses and a yummy flat bread.

  • 5/5 Louis E. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderfully unusual cocktails in an equally interesting setting. Definitely worth a stop if you’re wandering around Gamla Stan, though you may need to book in advance.

  • 5/5 Cregan D. 1 year ago on Google
    (Drinks review only; no food ordered.) Lengthy and complex original cocktail list with drinks made with attention to detail and ingredients. Short on classic cocktails though. Inside is cozy, well decorated, and smells like burnt herbs and flowers.

  • 5/5 Anna J. 2 years ago on Google
    Charming place. Much energy. Professional service. Skilled bartenders. Interesting drinks. Really worth a visit!

  • 5/5 Mark K. 2 years ago on Google
    Look at the way the waiters are dressed at Pharmarium... You want to come here to pick up your medicines? Wrong address. Here you only find the best cocktails of the city in an amazing atmosphere! No doubt: 5 STARS! 😃

  • 5/5 Dawn L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great cocktails. One of the best cocktail bars I’ve been to around the world. Not so much those who are into classic cocktails judging from their signature menu. Night cream - light, floral, fruity, creamy. Nothing exciting, it was easy to drink. 8/10 Party animal no 2. - complex and intriguing. 10/10

  • 5/5 suzanne R. 9 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Amazing place. Facing Nobel prize museum, it’s a great discovery that will be a highlight from our trip. Creative, balanced and inspired, drinks were excellent. Servers know their craft!
