Bar Brooklyn

I was here on Saturday for the first time. Since I am still new to Stockholm I would not have found this place on my own — it’s kind of hidden, isn’t it? Maybe not for the people who leave in this area.
Very nice interior, good music and interesting people. I had a good time and will definitely come back.

Let’s disregard the weirdness that is this Swedish infatuation with Brooklyn Brewery and its solid but not fantastic tasting beer as well as the NYC borough itself during this review. (for the record, I lived in that giant country for a long time and I loved it)
I like the thought that went into the décor, lighting, vibe and the location. Seating is community tables mixed with booth style couch solutions. When you walk into this establishment you realize very quickly that it has actually decided on a theme, a target patron and what atmosphere they are going for – all things which are very unique among the seemingly bland and indecisive Stockholm bars.
Is it original and super awesome, or is it whatever the interior decorator picked up from their last trip to Williamsburg? You guessed it.
They keep busy with lots of events and it’s a roomy space with fairly good capacity. It’s also connected to the Debaser Strand venue that hosts a good amount of music artists worth checking out.
Other things:
The kitchen closes at 10pm and I have yet to manage to show up hungry before then, so my guess is as good as yours about the food. The chili burger seems interesting though. They have more than just beer. Fussball table. Big screen projector for World Cup and sports things.
The staff could up their game as far as service and speed, and when I asked what the «guest beer on tap» is at the Brooklyn Brewery Bar, I didn’t expect the bartender to say: Brooklyn Brown Ale…
All in all, it’s all good. It’s a very solid hangout spot with a laid back attitude.

Nice space, good food and beers. The music was too metal heavy and 2003ish for my taste. Also (in January) the place was a bit cold. More broadly targeted music would probably bring more customers and raise the temperature.

Edit 2014: They’ve leveled up!
Dive bar type place which kind of seems like a sh*thole but it’s obvoius that expensive interior designers have been hired to make it feel that way :) It’s pretty cool though, but not genuine.
Ok selection of interesting beers and a satisfying comfort food menu on which the sliders are a highlight.
Mid level prices that seem expensive considering the venue.
Still a nice hangout with hipsters djing some difficult old rock. Worth visiting for sliders!

Had a really good time at this bar/​club/​lounge/​ping pong table. The efficiency of having two bars makes getting a drink pretty easy even on a busy night and you can either get lost on the dance floor, or hide away on a comfy chair or couch for a bit of quiet conversation.
The vibe of the place generally suited my tastes, semi-hipster’ish but really, people of all ages and types were present.
Not to mention, there’s a ping pong table where you can get up to 30 people participating in a rally ping pong tournament.
Good times :)
