Riche
Stockholm’s hottest bar actually is two. The door on the left leads straight into a sea of expensive jackets and well-tailored necklines that flirt, drink and discuss everything that is happening around Stureplan in loud and lively tones. The door on the right leads to one of the city’s most beautiful bars which often has a famous DJ filling the place with hip music causing the designer jeans to swing and the stylish hair-dos to sway to the beat.

Café Opera
This is where the world famous go when they visit Stockholm. Also there is an interesting mix of older people having a business drink, tourists wondering at the beautiful decor and the young party set. During the night Café Opera, or The Café as it is known, becomes a pulsating nightclub, often attracting young rich people.

Sturehof
In spite of being a very good restaurant the Sturehof is known primarily as Stureplan’s place to meet for a long or short chat in the bar; from lunch until late into the night. Three bars of different character build up a sort of three-stage rocket of nightlife. Do not forget to check the O-bar, which is squeezed into a secluded area at the top of the stairs furthest into the building.
Adress: Stureplan 2
