MELT Bar & Restaurant turns a cocktail outing into a full evening of live entertainment. Styled as a 1920s-inspired speakeasy, the venue combines cocktails, burlesque and cabaret across three floors, creating a theatrical setting that feels markedly different from a conventional Stockholm bar.

SLM is a Stockholm gay bar and men’s fetish club with a distinctly adult, nightlife-oriented atmosphere.

Marie Laveau is a Stockholm bar with a relaxed, casual character, offering beer, wine, cocktails and spirits alongside food and bar snacks. Outdoor seating and a comfortable layout make it suitable for a low-key drink, a solo visit or an informal meeting.
