Award-winning cocktail bar on Stortorget in Gamla Stan, inspired by Sweden's first public pharmacy and its medicinal herbs, serving cocktails with matching dishes.

Good to know
Tjoget is one of the most acclaimed bars in Scandinavia and the main reason many visitors make the trip to Hornstull, at the western end of Södermalm. It describes itself as a modern neighbourhood restaurant with a bar of international standing, and the claim is backed up by its record on The World's 50 Best Bars list, where it was ranked in the top 50 every year from 2016 to 2021 and in the 51 to 100 list in 2022, 2024 and 2025.
The venue is divided into five parts, each with its own character: the dining room, a chambre séparée for private groups, a wine bodega, a beer café and the cocktail bar. That mix means you can come for a single drink, a casual beer, a bottle of wine with snacks or a full dinner. The food is rooted in the Mediterranean, and the menu suits sharing, which makes it easy to eat at the bar or to build an evening around a few plates.
The cocktail bar is the main draw for most visitors. The list changes over time, so ask the bartenders what is new. The atmosphere is relaxed rather than formal, and the bar fills with a local crowd at weekends, so it is a good place to see how Stockholmers spend an evening out away from the city centre.
Tjoget suits cocktail enthusiasts, couples and groups of friends who want a lively but grown-up night out. It opens at 17:00 from Monday to Thursday and on Sundays, closing at 01:00, and from 16:00 on Fridays and 13:00 on Saturdays, staying open until 03:00 on both nights. Reservations can be made up to a month ahead online, by phone or by email at [email protected]; the dining room takes parties of up to eight, and a separate room called Balkongen holds up to 16. Arrive early on Friday and Saturday evenings if you want a seat at the bar without a booking.
Hornsbruksgatan is a short walk from Hornstull metro station on the red line, about ten minutes from the city centre. The area around Hornstull has plenty of other bars, restaurants and cafés, and the waterfront at Hornstulls strand and the green island of Långholmen are close by for a walk before dinner.
