Obaren

I don’t know what to think of this place. The drinks were decent at a very «decent» price (ie it’s expensive of course — you’re in östermalm) but there’s no entrance fee or people making you wait to get in so that’s always nice. The music was terrible! This girl/​guy combo spinning just the least interesting crap. Both me and my friend tried to request something and the guy just kind of shook his head and played dumb (I’m pretty sure he had Spotify open on his laptop and I was showing him a song on Spotify…).
The crowd was weird. Mostly older 35 – 40 sprinkled with a few younger people. I kind of wondered what they and we were doing there. Okay let me clarify, the crowd wasn’t weird because of the age but rather something felt wrong about the social situation in the room. The setup inside is interesting, with a sort of stage and tiered seating for looking out on the «crowd» (the «dance floor» /​«mixing-​area» is pretty small, in fact it’s a very small little alcove in the back of a restaurant). My friends kept saying it was a nice place to see people dressed up, but I just saw girls with big, ugly watches and guys with large laptop briefcases at their feet (at 12am on a Friday night) otherwise wearing nothing too interesting. No one looked particularly classy, chic, bussiness pro, or even dapper cool — except us, of course ^^
I would come back here because I have a feeling it was an off-​night in terms of experience but I wouldn’t recommend going here as I experienced it. I’m not saying definitely do NOT go here. But I can’t give it my recommendation at this moment in time.

If I was 19 years old — I imagine I would come here often…
Once in a blue moon it is very fun to have a big night out, drinking and dancing with friends — and this was a great place to do just that. With a big enough group and a table, you feel like you can breathe, move around freely and enjoy the night. The music was very «pop» which was fun for dancing and singing along… who doesn’t like a little Riri in their life :)
I could not imagine coming here with just a girlfriend and braving the dance floor area — then I would probably be giving 2 stars — as you can barely walk through the masses, I’m sure it must take an hour to order a drink and I would certainly feel old — as I could probably be the mother of some of the young kids here…
