Krogen Soldaten Svejk, Czech restaurant and pub in Södermalm, Sweden.
Krogen Soldaten Svejk is a Czech restaurant and pub in Stockholm's Södermalm district serving traditional Bohemian dishes with a wide selection of imported beers and spirits. The kitchen prepares pork schnitzel, goulash, and potato pancakes daily.
Established in 1974, this family-operated establishment has dedicated itself to serving authentic Czech gastronomy for decades. It became Stockholm's primary destination for Czech dining during that period.
The name and decor reference the literary character Švejk from Jaroslav Hašek's novel, displayed through vintage bottles, signed hockey memorabilia, and traditional paintings throughout the space.
Visiting is straightforward since staff speak English and can explain the menu clearly. Arriving early in the evening is wise, as popular dishes can sell out during busy hours.
Each spring, a Czech Beer Festival takes place featuring over 20 draft beers sourced directly from Czech and Slovak breweries. The venue operates under a special import license enabling this selection.
