Stockholm Nightlife

Stockholm may not be famous like Barcelona or Berlin for its nightlife scene, but there are still many options to enjoy a night out in the city. Here are some suggestions! If you come from Europe, you might find Stockholm prices for drinks and beer quite expensive, but for a Canadian like I am, it’s not that bad. There are still places that are more affordable for students like us 🙂

Chapter pubs

As the school is divided into chapters for the different subjects, each chapter has a pub that opens once a week. Chapter pubs are a great place to get really cheap beer on campus and might be a good pre-drink option if you plan on going out afterwards. If you are on campus on a Thursday or Friday, just follow the music, and you will find them!

Nymble Parties

Nymble is the student association building. Most weekends, THS organizes a party in the building, featuring a huge dancefloor, DJ and bar. If you live on campus, it’s the perfect place to party since you can sneak out when you are tired and go to bed 🙂

Bars

Close to campus are quite many After Work bars that offer happy hour deals on beer and food, such as AW, or Bar International, which is less cheap but very festive, in Östermalm, and the Flying Horse, close to Odenplan. A little further away from campus is a very “mysigt” (cozy) place called Bron, which offers a nice view over Kungsholmen and the river below. There are also the Baras franchises (Backe, Enkelt and Ställe) in Södermalm, which have quite cheap beer, good music and really cool decorations.

Clubs

Stockholm’s clubs are quite nice. They are usually very big, with different rooms and different music, so they fit most styles! Most of them have a cover charge, but some offer free entry before 11 p.m. or midnight. There is Café Opera, a pretty famous one, as well as Slakthuset, close to Globen. Closer to the KTH campus are Ohlsson Skor and Bar Solidaritet, both cool places with good music.

There are many, many more places to discover, depending on your music preferences and vibe, but these suggestions show that there is plenty to do to enjoy a night out in Stockholm!
