    (Translated by Google) When you go to places like this, you start to wonder if all the nightclubs in Stockholm have a common inner circle competition and who can run the worst bar and nightclub. Extremely unpleasant place. Poor bar staff, it's really stnd about them.kareoken looks like a kindergarten. Unprofessionally cared for and people who just scream. The guards are extremely s.j.u. i H: dt. Almost only A-layers and drug addicts who visit the place because they do not get anywhere else. It is sad to see that there has been no improvement in 10 years. Almost empty in the room because no one wants to go there. (Original) När man går till ställen som detta börjar man undra om alla nattklubbarna i Stockholm har en gemensam innercirkels-tävling o.vem som kan driva den sämsta baren och nattklubben. Extremt otrevligt ställe. Stackars barpersonal, det är verkligen stnd om dem.kareoken liknar ett dagis. Oproffessionellt skött och folk som bara skriker. Vakterna är extremt s.j.u. i H:dt. Nästan bara A- lagare och knarkare som besöker stället för att de inte kommer in någon annan stans. Det är sorgligt att se att det inte hänt någon förbättring på 10 år. Nästan tomt i lokalen för ingen vill gå dit.

    Bar near kungstragarden. It used to be more fun how ever now a days there are more good places then this. Staff only consider you if you order something to eat, if you go for drinks only, they are less helpful. There are more cheap and good places then this near by

    (Translated by Google) The guards are nasty and make decisions without evidence to show power. Will never go here again. (Original) Vakterna är otrevliga och gör beslut utan belägg för att visa makt. Går aldrig hit igen.

    Fairly cheap drinks. If Rock bars are your thing then I guess this is Christmas. Otherwise, I'd advise you drink up and be out before 22.

    For Karaoke the speaker array is awesome!!, it appears to be built for live rock shows. The KJ Johannes is super nice. He is skilled at mixing dance music, with a little compression and reverb his vocals could be as good. The video monitor for lyrics is on the ground, it should be (imo) slightly above eye level. The microphones are thin (low grade), and there is no vocal monitor. There is a massive wall of thick music pointed away from a singer. Turning one speaker wedge around could fix this. The music catalog is dated (sunfly, sound choice and zoom) which is very common in Sweden. Hopefully places adopt CC Karaoke and Karaoke Nerds for modern amazing sounding tracks. Weekdays are more chill and Saturday is a hot sweaty mad house of younger ages.

    It's a great Metallica and Rock themed bar in the center of old Stockholm. Ample seating spaces inside and outside. Great bar at the center with seating all around. They also have a stage for live performances. The service was ok.

  • 3/5 Marina G. 2 years ago on Google • 97 reviews
    Overpriced 'American' bar cataring to the tourists. Not worth your time, unless you are popping in for a quick beer- but make sure you order at the bar otherwise it will take a while because service is inattentive and slow. Let me explain: We ended up ordering beer at the bar and sitting outside. The service was quick to come and take our food orders. We ordered two dishes, one was an appetizer. They told us it would take 30-45 minutes. After over an hour wait, we asked about where our food was. They forgot. There were two large groups sitting near us which I understand take time to serve, but the rest of the restaurant was pretty empty so they were not swamped with orders in the kitchen. They finally prepared our two dishes, but it took another 30-40 minutes. In the end, the food was mediocre and not worth the almost 2 hour wait. The reason I gave 3 stars (and not 2) was because they gave us a substantial discount on our meal. Either way, stay clear of this place if you are looking for a good meal in a reasonable amount of time.

    A great bar with a very nice selection of drinks that are decently priced. Location of the place is quite ideal if you are a tourist or if you have things to do close to the city-center.

  • 4/5 Sabsfabs Mrs C. 4 months ago on Google • 63 reviews
    Service slow, gets very busy in the evening. Good music, over priced. Food was lovely, I could have eaten here more but it's over priced for tourists

  • 5/5 Jing A. 10 months ago on Google • 57 reviews
    Good service. Nice food!

  • 4/5 Stefan B. 6 years ago on Google • 19 reviews
    Nice atmosphere and good location. The food varies from very good to okay, and in terms of price it's about the same as everywhere else in stockholm. I had the mixed bbq plate and have to say I really liked the sides (fries, onion rings, corn) aswell as their grilled beef. I wouldn't call it a steak, they use too much seasoning for a proper steak in my opinion, but never the less it's a very delicious piece of meat. The chicken wings were quite good, nothing exceptional, but definitly good food. I did not like my bbq ribs. The were cooked fine, I just didn't like the flavour of them, and didn't even finish them. All in all I would say this is a nice restaurant, just don't eat the bbq ribs.

    Ok for a beer or so but not a place for dinner. A bit of a tourist trap.

  • 1/5 Magnus L. 6 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    We planned to watch the Rugby World Cup and was met with a room with a stroboscopic light blinking. Eventually, the screens were switched on - with 5 mins to spare before the game began - but the disco kept kept blinking. The big screen was on a stage where two DJs kept walking in front of the screen as there was karaoke later in the evening. We had to politely ask them to stop about 3-4 times before they did. No table waiting was done during the game so any drinks had to be ordered in another room. When there was 3 mins left of the game, which was very close, the large screen was switched off and karaoke began. Avoid this place for any sports broadcasts. And if you’re looking for anything else than hanging out with underage kids and karaoke, there are countless better places to go out to in Stockholm. All within walking distance.

    Good food, although the cider selection is very lacking. The furniture could also use a makeover.

    Burger und Pommes waren nichts besonderes, Burger Buns waren angebrannt und die Chicken Wings so lala. Bedingungen kam etwas genervt rüber. 😒

  • 5/5 Gabriel T. 2 years ago on Google
    We stopped by on our visit to the arms museum to have a drink. The waiter was very nice and we had a lovely conversation. The coffee was pretty good for stockholm standarts. Would definetly come here again :)

    Kind of disappointing chicken burger. Everything else pretty "standard"

    Loved the service. Espacially The waiter was nice and even held a little conversation with us tourists.

  • 1/5 Albert 11 months ago on Google
    Non-existant service. We sat down and waited for a menu for 20 minutes, with barely any other customers in the restaurant. No staff member as much as looked at us, but went around us cleaning tables and picking up dishes. In the end we left without ordering.

  • 3/5 Feelsbad M. 9 months ago on Google
    Poor choice of plating. Got fish and chips. Fairly small portion served in a bowl with the fish on top of the fries, which led to alot of fries being soft.

  • 5/5 Robert C. 1 year ago on Google

  • 1/5 Kim O. 2 years ago on Google
    I have to say, I never expected to encounter racism from the staff at Harry B James. Makes me very dissapointed. I just cannot recommend Harry B James because of this.

    Nice food, good variation of beer nd nice location.

  • 4/5 Ranjan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun place to hangout and grab drinks. They had a karaoke on Friday night and it was fun. They need more screens on eye level for karaoke, and also fix the audio levels; the balance was off.

  • 1/5 Areti M. 1 year ago on Google
    Helpful and fast service. The food was OK, not the greatest value for money though. Among the customers there were some 'weird' people. Wouldn't go there again, but maybe it was a one time thing.

  • 3/5 Richard H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I went to Harry B James this year. It has gone down properly unfortunately. Not the same spirit at either restaurant or nightclub / bar anymore. But an OK place for some rock music and beer in the city center. (Original) Harry B James har jag gått till i år. Det har gått ned sig ordentligt tyvärr. Inte samma anda på varken restaurang eller nattklubb/bar längre. Men ett OK ställe för lite rockmusik och öl i centrala stan.

    Came to eat, get the menu and when we start to order the seamstress tells us the kitchen is closing in 20 min and we can't get something to eat but snacks cause it's easy and quickly to do. Nowhere it was written when the kitchen was closing. The only thing they were quick to d there was to get the bill ... And we had to pay it high.... Really disappointed and don't recommend
