Kvarnen

Kvarnen is a large restaurant in Södermalm featuring high ceilings and traditional Swedish architectural details from 1908 that remain visible throughout the space. The main dining hall divides into a seated area for meals and a back section arranged more casually around tables and a bar counter.

The restaurant opened in 1908 and became a central meeting point in Södermalm, witnessing the area's gradual shift from a working-class district toward a more mixed neighborhood. Its original architectural structure and layout have remained largely intact since then.

The ground floor serves as a genuine neighborhood gathering place where regulars and locals come together over food and drink in a casual, unpretentious setting. The animated crowds and straightforward hospitality reflect the area's roots as a working-class district.

The place is open daily and offers extended service until 3 AM on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, making it a gathering spot even late in the evening. The large dining areas are accessible from the street and accommodate groups of varying sizes comfortably.

The back rooms operate as a Czech beer hall where visitors can find a rotating selection of craft beers from both Swedish and Czech breweries. Many visitors overlook this less traditional side of the restaurant when experiencing only the front dining area.
