Café Opera

Top choice in Stockholm


Rock stars need a suitably excessive place to schmooze, booze and groove, one with glittering chandeliers, ceiling frescoes and a jet-set vibe. This bar-club combo fits the bill, but it’s also welcoming enough to make regular folk feel like rock stars. If you only have time to hit one primo club during your visit, this is a good choice.
