    One of the coolest place in Stockholm, and a must visit. Right now they have an exhibition on Absolut and cider! There is a regular exhibition about drinking culture in Sweden and what goes into making Absolut . Don't forget to visit their restaurant! I had one of the best lunches there ever :)

    An interesting museum that allows you to smell a lot of different varieties of beverages. It's a bit small and unfortunately you can't taste any of the drinks that you read about

    It provides a brief introduction the history and creation process of spirits, mainly vodka and gin. On the day I visited the museum, there was a newly launched gin for tasting as well! There is also a bar in the museum. I ordered a gin tasting set, which includes one glass of genever, pink gin, barrel-aged gin and a tonic. Apart from the one I order, there is another tasting set with spirits that are more Swedish. All in all, I would recommend this museum for all alcohol lovers.

    This is the most fun I've had at a museum as an adult. The art exhibit was beautiful and the gin exhibit had vats the different aromatics to smell. The rest of the spirit museum had the most engaging, hands on exhibits I've had the pleasure to experience in more than a decade. Definitely recommend. The tasting wasn't open because we got there early in the day, but we'll worth it to go back.

    We stopped by here today as part of the Go City Pass. It is nicely located between other museums that are part of the deal. If you have the Go City Pass, you can skip the line. I will say that this is an interesting mix of the making and history of vodka (Absolut), and beer too. It has some interesting pieces of Absolut art, then goes into areas about the science - nicely laid out. I will say that the exhibits upstairs were...strange. you also have the option of buying a drink before heading out (of course hahaha). Thanks for the unique experience.

    Solo traveller on my way past and a bit thirsty...So I popped in for a beer and a chat. The staff were very friendly and found the beer I needed. Definitely worth a stop just for the ambiance.

    A wonderful and fun exhibition, e.g. from trokas, vodka and tasty drinks in the sun to sip during the exhibition🥂 It's definitely worth a visit 😍

    The Harborplace… Expensive and small portions, both in glas and on plate…. together with rude teenagers in the bar and funny opening hours for being a seasonbar. This place would have a better place as a buoy in the docks!!

    Alcohol museum where staff do not know how to serve wine without cork. Also just half a glass. The suip of the day is scalding hot and tasteless. Avoid. 10 better places within 50 meters.

    We stopped by the Spritmuseum as it was on our GoCity Stockholm card. The museum entry usually costs 130 SEK, which on reflection, is good value for the time you spend in there and the quality of the experience. We started on the ground floor and looked through the art exhibit ‘Troubled Waters’ by artists Pierre et Gilles. It was rather risqué, but very thought provoking and I really enjoyed it. We then started to make our way through the experience, which was a well thought out collection of exhibits based on a variety of alcohol trends. There were plenty of interactive elements to the experience, and I recommend getting involved with all the quizzes, they’re great fun. At the time of visiting they were focusing on the Gin scene that has exploded in Sweden (very much like the UK) and it was interesting to see their take on it. Another fascinating element to the experience was the Swedish relationship with alcohol. I’m from the UK, and it is both fairly cheap and easy to drink to excess pretty much anywhere. The Swedish stance on the matter seems to be a lot more discouraging than the UK. In the exhibits there were elements that focused on hangovers and drinking too much - showing the ugly truth to drinking. I especially enjoyed taking a few minutes out lying in darkened room watching what happens when you ‘go too far’ and what happens to you the more your blood alcohol levels increase. All in all, I was l really surprised by the Spiritmuseum. It’s far more than just a ‘sniff this’ or how to make a cocktail, it’s art, culture, the Swedish relationship with alcohol and so much more. I would definitely recommend a visit if you’re looking for something a little different to do after the equally fascinating Vasa Museum. On a side note, they do offer tasting boards and experiences alongside the tour, but these are an additional cost. It was approximately 175 SEK when we visited and this was for 4 different tasters.

    This museum wasn't on my list, but I found it by coincidence on the street. I loved the experience, the museum was lovely and the food was excellent. Great experience.

    Fun museum where you can both enjoy art, be informed about the history of alcohol in Sweden. At the moment there was an exposition about the Swedish beer culture where you could smell different beer ingredients and afterwards could taste different beers as well. We thought it was very fun! About 2 years ago we visited the temporary wine exposition as well which was great too. So definitely recommended, especially since the museum switches up its expositions from time to time.

    My boyfriend and I were there for the kräftskiva (crayfish dinner). The food was incredible and the service beyond exceptional! The waiters were extremely attentive and gave us excellent advice on which spirits to pair with which foods, along with detailed information about both. The portions were large and each dish fresh and flavorful. Definitely worth the price! Would highly recommend anyone to stop by as our experience was amazing. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Good history of brewery, how different types of alcohol made. You get to experience the fragrance of various ingredients used.

    We had an amazing evening there, particularly due to the exceptional sommelier lady. The food was excellent, noce view, cosy setting. And the wine even better and perfectly served.

    Exceptional customer service, great food and relaxing atmosphere. The waiter went above and beyond to explain the menu in detail as well as paying close attention to our dietary requirements. In addition, he provided anecdotes about local delicacies and the type of food Swedish people were accustomed to. I would definitely recommend paying a visit here if you’re around Djurgården.

    The best location to drink a beer in the summer. The staff was great and the service as well. Their gin tonic was good and I saw other people eating nice food. The only downside was the beer selection. They only had “normal” Swedish craft beer that you can buy at the store. So I’ll give it a three until they improve their selection for us more picky with the beer.

    Delicious food, the server (his name was folke) was very informative and took time out of his day to tell us about the beer and his life.

    We opted to try the tasting flights which was an interesting experience! Service was great and it's a cool place to just go for a drink.

  • 4/5 Kentaro W. 6 months ago on Google • 157 reviews
    Good place where you can learn about both positive and negative side of spirits (educational element is strong rather than promoting spirits).

  • 5/5 Brent H. 7 months ago on Google • 135 reviews
    I thought this was very informative and interactive. Learned alot about the distillation process and a ton about brewing beer! Definitely recommend!

  • 3/5 Sebastian S. 5 months ago on Google • 52 reviews
    A strong 3 out of 5. And now I'm talking about the restaurant and bar only. The highest points go to the service of the personal who where very friendly, quick and easy going. We shared some plates, had a variation of spirits and desert and all was good and well priced for the area and quality. Combined with a museum visit and you could be here for a good while :)

  • 4/5 Kristen W. 1 year ago on Google • 52 reviews
    Pretty cool museum! I would not pay the price of entry, but with it included on the go city pass, I enjoyed it! Cool if you are really into booze. I felt the drink at the bar was a bit overpriced, but it was really strong!

  • 5/5 Malina B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice and interesting, free entry

  • 2/5 Kieran L. 2 years ago on Google
    Absurdist museum. Part anti-alcohol campaign, part Systembolaget advert

  • 5/5 Simo K. 2 years ago on Google
    Informative museum about spirits, wines and drinking history in Sweden. Loved the quiz :)

  • 5/5 REISACHTIG L. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful insights in the Swedish tradition of Spirit making and recent developments such as wine making in Sweden. This museum has a bit for everyone: with Interactive displays and lots of decorative exhibitions. More about this museum or other highlights in Stockholm? Visit REISACHTIG.COM

    Schönes übersichtliches Museum. Es gab eine Ausstellung mit Kunstwerken rund um „Absolut“ Wodka. Zudem eine Ausstellung über Bier, hier kann man seine Nase auf die verschiedenen Weizen- und Gerste Sorten trainieren. Im Anschluss gibt es noch eine Ausstellung über Whisky, Rum, etc. Auch hier gibt es viele Riech-Proben. Zudem kann man aus vielen verschiedenen Bier Sorten im dazugehörigen Lokal auswählen.

    it was included in our city go app but i personally would not have visited for money you can many bottles, ingredients etc and smell many things but all in all it was not worth it but if you are really into this topic, you will like it

  • 2/5 Ricardo Martinez R. 8 months ago on Google
    Very expensive in comparison with the quality. Beer tapped there has got acetyl and tastes super bad. Took a sample and it cost around 18 Euros for 4 0.1cl samples without any further explanation as the guy who served it had not really any idea. Disappointed

  • 3/5 Gary H. 2 years ago on Google
    It's not a typical museum in the sense that it seems to be mostly in existence to justify the restaurant/bar on the grounds. There were 3 exhibits. The Absolut/fashion exhibit was a 90s throwback to a time of supermodels, vodka, and tackiness. The Swedish wine exhibit had a lot of interesting information but so would Wikipedia. The other exhibit feels mostly on putting your nose on a final to smell things. Not an ideal activity in 2021. Overall the place was fine but I wouldn't send anyone there.

  • 5/5 Wing 4 years ago on Google
    Extremely interesting museum and very different from your average museums. There are lot of interactive elements to it and you get to add a tasting experience after learning about the spirits. Wish it was a little bigger so I could spend more time there, was done after an hour.

  • 5/5 patricia r. 2 years ago on Google
    Very interesting museum, very nice and helpful staff. The wine quiz was great fun!

  • 4/5 Jessica B. 11 months ago on Google
    Really fun, quirky setup for a museum. There wasn't as much history as I thought there would be in general but the exhibits were still very informative and really interactive. Another downside is there's a lot of music and sound effects playing that overlap sometimes, and it can become too much noise after a while

  • 3/5 Patricia Ström G. 2 years ago on Google
    It's quite a small museum. I was glad there was an amazing art exhibiting to compliment; otherwise, we would have found it too small and uneventful.

  • 5/5 Andrew G. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool museum and big selection of alcohol afterwards. Exhibits look nice and are very interactive

  • 5/5 Mike H. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a spontaneous family lunch break at their outside bar/restaurant and were more than pleasantly surprised! We had a selection of their „nordic tapas“ and totally loved it. Very tasty and original! If you are tired of burger and pizza, this is the place to go! Not cheap but worth every kroner. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Annette I. 4 years ago on Google
    Great way to spend our morning in Stockholm. Really chilled vibe to the museum. Small but lots to see. Interesting to see how vodka made and the consequence from drinking it. Very strange video on being drunk. We particularly enjoyed the tasters at the end of the tour.

  • 3/5 Yasemin B. 4 years ago on Google
    They forgot our reservation so we had to wait outside until some tables are free. Food wasn't bad, wasn't great. Portions are small.

  • 5/5 René H. 4 years ago on Google
    Super and delicious brunch

  • 5/5 Per E. 3 years ago on Google
    A few friends and I had beers on the dock part (Bryggan) yesterday. One of my friends was fidgeting with his engagement ring, which led to it falling off his finger and between the boards of the dock. The bartender really went the extra mile in getting the ring back! He got an automatic screwdriver and removed the floor board so that the ring could be retrieved. After saving the day he wouldn't even take a tip for it. True hero!

  • 3/5 Logan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty overpriced for the museum experience

  • 4/5 Stefan K. 2 years ago on Google
    The gin exhibit was nice. Only swedish text which can be remedied with google lens. The olfactory rest of the permanent part waa really cool.

  • 4/5 Katie B. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful location, service is really good and the food is prepared meticulously.

  • 5/5 Jan L. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 luciano p. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice museum. Offers some interactive activities and a tasting menu at the end.

  • 5/5 Johannes T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great museum and restaurant at a beautiful location

  • 5/5 Michael L. 2 years ago on Google
    Rhum tasting (paired with Chocolate) followed by tour (mostly about Gin) and then some drinks is a must while in Stockholm.

  • 5/5 Norbert A. 2 years ago on Google
    Expect some fine history of alcoholic beverages ;) take pictures, enjoy smell samples of different alcohols and additives. You can also buy samples of the alcohols with the entrance ticket.
