Let’s say it’s Friday, you just turned in whatever assignment was hanging over your head, you want to go out but are still a bit tired and are looking for something a bit more low key to just relax. I suggest you check out a bomb shelter well hidden on a small residential street.
Or rather, a small door that leads down to what used to be a shelter and has been converted into Ugglan, one of the most interesting pubs I have seen in Stockholm.
Early in the evening you can come for the buffet complete with some microbrewed beer from around the world, after which the place turns into a giant underground arcade.
As I mentioned earlier, Sweden has a certain love affair with circle ping pong in some of their pubs. The way a game usually starts, all participants grab a paddle and move around the table, playing one shot against the person across. If you or them miss the shot or table, you’re eliminated.
At the end, it becomes a best two out of three shot battle for the champion’s spot.
If you want, you can also play air hockey, billiards, table football or pinball. The place is huge.
As you venture deeper, you’ll find a small room where a band is usually playing and a fake fire lights up the fireplace in an adjacent room, you can even grab a board game and relax on the couches.
It’s a really interesting place that I recommend checking out once you come to Stockholm.
