Hamburger Börs, Theatre building in Norrmalm, Stockholm, Sweden
Hamburger Börs is a theatre building at Jakobsgatan 6 in Norrmalm, Stockholm, with a grey metal-clad upper facade above a tall glass frontage divided by dark mullions; white block letters reading "HAMBURGER BÖRS" stand on the cladding. Behind the glass, the dim interior holds lit framed pictures, tables with white cloths and a hanging light fixture. The stage has hosted krogshower since 1811.
The theatre has a 200-year history and has hosted international stars including Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Rod Stewart, and Liza Minnelli on its stage. This long track record established it as a leading entertainment destination in the city.
The venue is known for krogshower, a Swedish form of bar performances that have been running as recurring satire shows since the early 2000s. This type of entertainment remains central to how locals and visitors experience the space.
Restroom facilities are located on the second floor and credit cards including American Express are accepted. It is important to book in advance to secure a seat.
Hamburger Börs closed on 18 September 2024 after financial problems, not at the end of 2023. The premises had already vanished once before: the building was demolished on 22 December 1970 and the venue reopened in the new building on 4 December 1975. Mirrors and stucco work from the Oscarian salon were saved during the demolition and reinstalled in the new rooms.
