Scandic Grand Central

Trendy New York-inspired hotel bar in downtown Stockholm near Central Station. Grand Central by Scandic draws hotel guests as well as Stockholm locals who come in for a drink after work - and there is plenty of room for all. If not in the bar, in the lobby or one floor up. The hotel restaurant, Teaterbrasseriet, is on the ground floor.

A photo of the Källarbyn café's entrance doors, leading from a cobbled street down a cosy red-brick passage to the café itself. The doors are framed with spruce branches, and blackboard signage with a handwritten menu in neat writing.

Källarbyn

In spite of its prime location in the tourist-dense Old Town, Källarbyn has earned a reputation among its many regulars for being not only cozy and authentic, but even and good value. The atmospheric 18th-century cellar with its eclectic decoration attracts mixed crowds. The frequent live concerts, extensive wine (– and tea!) list, and multiple vegan options all make for a – sometimes lively – café experience worth remembering.

Lilla Hotellbaren

A spacious, elegant lounge on the ground floor of Scandic Malmen. The modern style suits all occasions and the central location by Medborgarplatsen on Södermalm is a good place to meet friends for a drink. Live music and DJs several nights a week. Mostly jazz.

Tamikrest belongs to a younger generation of desert blues – and it shows. They renew the sound and do not hesitate to bring in a little more influences from western rock music. They themselves have said that in addition to their Tuareg heritage, they also listened a lot to the Algerian musician Rachid Taha, flamenco and Pink Floyd.

Mikael Ramel is known for his infamous first LP &quot;Till Dej&quot; from 1972.

The concert is performed by Mikael and his eminent band consisting of Kenny Håkansson, Göran Lagerberg, Kettil Medelius and Benna Sörman. A match made in heaven. Musical, humorous at the same time!
