Stampen

Is Stampen worth it? Totally depends on the night. I ended up going here two nights in a row, and the first night was bleh — the second night fantastic!
The great thing about Stampen is of course the live music, but the quality of the bands varies. Friday nights tend to be better than Thursday nights. But, Thursday nights tend to be free, whereas Fridays have a 50kr cover charge.
There’s an incredible mix of people — everything from Söder hipsters to Östermalm fancy people to old rockers to classy pensioners. And everyone has a good time! The staff are friendly, the drink prices are average.
The nachos are AMAZING. Not just chips and salsa — oh no. A massive plate which can be easily shared among 3 or 4 people, brimming with delicious cheese, veggies, guacamole, and more. SO GOOD.
When you walk in upstairs the place looks teeny tiny –but there’s a whole new world waiting below! I think the downstairs pub section is cosier, quiet enough to talk, and plenty of space, plus another little stage down there.
If you like jazz and want to see a concert and then chill and have beer after, definitely try Stampen on a weekend!

Cool and small joint. Band was pretty good. Alcohol is classically expensive. Also if you are not very tall then you probably won’t see anything because, let’s be honest, the average height in the bar is tall.

I love the décor! The giant chandelier is so amazing! Really feels like the old world in the middle of the old town. Some of the other ceiling decorations just look like junk but oh well. It was packed even on a Monday night. The band was really talented. The lineup was fresh for the whole month it looked like (good and bad thing, it’s nice to see good acts again). The bartender (who was new) was very kind and relaxed. There is much more space than Wirströms Pub, which is my other favorite haunt for live music.
I will return! You should check it out!

Un bar curiosa y genialmente decorado en el centro de gamla stan, se llena mucho a veces. Los grupos son selectos y posee de un implante sonoro muy bueno, también tiene una parte de abajo que estaba cerrada cuando fui. Yo he experimentado muy buen ambiente y mejor música. Jazz, blues, boogie… todo tipo de variables de la buena música. Muy recomendable este clásico de Estocolmo.

Stampen is one of my favorite places in Stockholm! It’s a blues and jazz bar open Monday to Saturday playing some of the best bands from Sweden and around the world every night. Plus they have a jam session on Saturdays.
Beers are well priced and get ready for a que on a Saturday as this place is VERY popular!
They serve bar snacks and a wide range of beers and wines, so head down, get a seat and listen to some awesome bands!
Such a unique place, I have not found anywhere like it. It used to be a pawn shop so all of the stuff on the walls and ceiling is from the old store. There is a cellar too for some Saturday events. There’s a bar there too!
