Wirströms Pub

I wish I’d had the food so I can give a full 5-​stars! But we just LOVED how welcoming the folk here were, and those awesome catacombs (the cellar)!!! Awesome musicians who let us jam with them, good beer, SUCH a great vibe!!! It has been YEARS since I’ve been here, and I still pine to return. GO GO GO!!!

Best pub in Stockholm! What else I can say? Take your beer and go downstairs to dungeons. Watch football or other sports, eat something small and enjoy many tap beers!

A great Irish pub in the heart of Old Town. I came here at the recommendation of a friend who advised to check out the basement bar. The pub itself is quite narrow but there is staircase in the back that goes to a basement with another bar and occasional live music.
Though the space itself was quite interesting, the basement bar was closed for some reason during my visit. The bartender at the main bar was very friendly and knows how to pour a proper pint of Guinness.
I’m sure this place is more lively and energetic on the weekends but I enjoyed the low key opportunity to enjoy the soccer game with a pint before heading back to my hotel.

Quaint, cozy pub right in the heart of the old town, Gamla stan. The setup before you even get there is great: narrow, medieval passageways lined in cobblestone. Probably one of the most scenic parts of Stockholm.
Arriving at Wirstroms, you’re greeted by a classic Irish pub in red painted wood. That’s already welcoming, but its inside where Wirstroms truly differentiates itself. First — and of course most importantly — the beer selection is stellar. They have St. Erik’s IPA on tap, a local choice which is also one of the best IPAs I’ve ever had. I was equally impressed by their craft selection, most notably Brother Thelonious from North Coast Brewing Company. I’ve been to NCBC on the far flung, windswept California coast and let’s just say it’s «out there». So for a pub 5,000 miles away to have that notable beer, I was quite impressed.
The upstairs bar is narrow: more cozy than confined. Downstairs through they have plenty of seating in their atmospheric basement. Wirstroms has live music most nights of the week (nice touch), and to top it all off, the staff was congenial indeed.
Highly recommend if you need to get your pub-​on in Stockholm.

Muy recomendable este pub con su entramado de pasillos al mas puro estilo catacumbas parisinas, bandas de buena musica en una de las salas. cerveza y gente de todo tipo para pasar una noche interesante, hay mesas por todo el local, la parte de arriba, más destinada a atender las pantallar con deporte que la música. Recomiendo meterse por las zonas de abajo. :)

That’s my favorite pub in Sthlm! It is cosy and perfect for a drink with your friend (s). I would say that it is not adapt for more than 8 – 9 people groups. It could seem a small place, but it is like an ants’ nest!
There is also a wide range of tap beers and liquors. I really suggest to come here, especially during live music nights ;)

One of my irish/​english/​scottish pubs in Stockholm, but a pretty decent one with good beer options. My friends and I initially chose Wirstroms more out of a need to use the lavatory than anything else, but kept returning when we wanted to get off our feet and have a pint.
Vegans take note: Wirstroms is conveniently located near both the vegan bakery and a vegan buffet.

I’ve been at Wirströms three times now and I really like it. The food is really delicious. The nachos are delicious, and I had a veggie burger with fries two times, which are really really good. The last one was extraordinary good, with a big mushroom and halloumi cheese. Yummy!
The staff is really friendly and most of them are always ready to have fun and have some jokes on their lips ;)
I am already looking forward to coming back and having a nice cool Kilkenny :)

Oh my, oh my – this place has some fantastic music! The house blues band are 4 incredibly talented guys, mostly from America (living here now of course), who just absolutely kill it. The guitarist was one of the best I have ever seen and the front man has so much soul and vibe (and talent on the harmonica and sax). I really had a special night here listening to these guys, and the other talented musicians of Stockholm that they opened up the band to. It turned what I thought would be an average Tuesday night out at a pub with some background noise into a night I will tell friends about and bring friends to for quite some time!
The other really cool part about this place is the catacomb like basement with lots of little rooms winding underneath the pub. You can get some pretty cozy spots but it could be a little off-​putting if you want the vibe of a group of strangers hanging out at the bar. I found a couch area that was super chill and didn’t feel too closed off. I think the crowd here was generally friendly too — not a given at any Stockholm establishment. The upstairs bar is probably a better place to strike up a random conversation though.
The beer prices are fine, actually I think they had a good selection on tap upstairs. I didn’t try the food so I can’t comment on prices or quality there — next time.
I would definitely return here I would definitely recommend you come here as well.

My favorite pub in Old Town by far. The cellar is tons of fun and live music every night exempt Sunday. The beer selection is vast by Stockholm standards. Which is to say it has about 15 – 20 solid options. If you are reading this and nearby, grab a cold one and walk through all the rooms in the cellar.

Amazing pub… the staff is very chilled out… they have a good spread of drinks at very good prices… the ambiance is cozy and great. They also have live music in the basement, but it is very crowded… so it may be a good idea getting in there early if that is something you are looking for. Over all a fun place to be!

An incredibly fun place in Gamla Stan!
Spread over two floors, the main one at street level has the big TVs for watching sports and the Jameson Cellar at the basement level is AMAZING! it’s like a maze of sorts with a lot of nooks and little alcoves for quiet conversations. Even though the main area where the band sets up is a tight squeeze, it helped us to make friends with locals fast and had a great time. The FREE music is awesome too.
I hated the fact that the bartender measured my gin when I asked for a G&T, but what the heck! this is Scandinavia right? I need to pre-​game at the hotel next time before going out.

After walking past I noticed interesting characters sitting outside enjoying their beverages. I joined into the conversation and ended up meeting some cool locals here. We shared quite a number of drinks, and they were very fun people. The staff here is very nice and the place is well run. The bar has an excellent choice of beer as well. It gets very crowded inside, there is very little room.
The downstairs is nice as well, they had a band down there who were pretty decent.

Great pub! superb beer selection and friendly service!

This place is so cool ! Nice music also!

A lovely oasis in the enigma that is Gamla Stan. You’re in Stockholm, you have to visit beautiful and charming Gamla Stan, then you start getting really annoyed and wonder how one beautiful little island can be so damn cluttered with tourists (yeah, I was one of them) and tchotchke shops. This, of course, is where Wirströms Pub comes in. The beer list is varied and the prices are reasonable for Stockholm. The atmosphere is great. There’s proper football on the telly. After a few restorative pints you remember why you went on vacation and why you’re visiting Gamla Stan.

This place excels on a few levels:
1) It’s a German (Bavarian) beer ‘hall’. They serve their beers in litres. This makes Wirströms automatically awesome.
2) It serves the best (THE BEST) burger in Stockholm. In a city replete with bad frozen veal-​like (read mystery meat) burgers, they have a thick, juicy, ground beef patty with all the fixins.
3) The drinking atmosphere is second-​to-​none and in Gamla Stan this is one of the very few places I frequent.
My only complaint is that it can get crazy crowded and the downstairs can get a little claustrophobic, but chalk it up to the atmosphere, and you won’t regret it. A must in Stockholm.

Hier trifft sich das englischsprachige Publikum bei typisch englischem Bier. Je später der Abend, desto trunkener die Gäste und desto lauter wird’s.
