Akkurat

Visited twice on my Stockholm tour and I can truly say, Akkurat’s one of the best beer bars in the world. In terms of selection, if you’re looking for lambic, they have the best list in the world, period. I don’t know how or why, but they have a special relation with both Cantillon and 3 Fonteinen and have special beers from both breweries. They also have a lot of other Belgian ales, including many vintages. As for Swedish beers, they have both Imperial Stouts from Narke, enough said. I was also impressed with their selection of American beers, including many vintages. The staff treated me kindly and the food I did have was quite good. Sunday night is band night and it was cool. I came back on my final night and had an incredible night of fine ales and really treated myself. Akkurat is a very special bar.

Good selection of real ales, belgian beers, vintage beers and single malt whisky. The service was good. Didn´t try the food. I will certainly visit again next time I´m in Stockholm.

This place is high class, I really felt comfortable entering the warm looking room which really looks the coinniseur place to be with the all the different beers in the bar and the impressive collection of whiskyes en the corner of the bar. The beer selection is fantastic, and in the three days I spend there, I never got tired of studying their menu with the huge section of vintage. The crew knows their beers and is very friendly. On my second visit I got a tap and a tour in the cellar. Depending on the mood, I prefer the afternoons, as it is very busy in the evenings and almost impossible to get a seat and a chat with the bartender in the long bar.

The beer selection here will absolutely blow your mind. A huge three ring binder with a massive cellar. Prices will really hurt ya on the rarities though - I spent 40 bucks on one bottle which was fairly modest in comparison. The selection of rare lambics gives enough reason for a visit. Friendly staff, much enjoyed!

Made it here after a hockey game with four of my buddies who are all 20/21, and we were shocked that they have a 23 minimume age. In a resturant! We were just getting used to the bar/club minimum ages that all the rediculous places in Stockholm have, but I didn’t expect that here. That said, when the bouncer saw that we were american and were looking for good Swedish micros, he actually gave us a warm welcome and ratled off some joke about Swedish kids liking to fight because of their viking heritage. He was a funny guy, and major props to him for letting us in. The biggest let down was the lack of any Närke beers, but the selection was phemomenal regardless, with a very good smoked porter from nils oscar as the current swedish tap special. The most frustrating part was trying to choose a belgian beer becuase the list spanned a couple pages in the menue. The bartenders seemed to be very knowlegable, and were very friendly. Probably the best bar I’ve ever been too on the whole.

This is one of the best and stranges places I have ever been. When I entered the bar I thought "What, they can’t be serious, is it some pub & bowl - bar and the staff seemes like a bunch of wierd heavy/hard rockers driving trucks in their spare time !!!??". But then I started looking at the beer & whiskey selection, both tap and beercard !! It is very empressive, when we came by, they had a draught festival and served Eylenbosch Kriek & Framboise ’89 - Fantastic. They also have a small but nice selection of american beer fx. North Coast X Old Rasputin and Bells Expedition Stout. But the most fantastic is their sele´ction of vintage beers (De Dolle, cantillon,....) and off course their own Cantillon brews (Soleil de Minute + Reed Gueuze Muscat + Reed Gueuze Pinot Noir). The Staff knows what they are dooing...... By the way... the food is also good !!

Huge, crowded pub and restaurant full of all kinds of people. Nice terrace outside, too. A bit empty and bare inside. However, the beer selection quickly makes you forget about that. They have a huge list of especially US and Belgian beers, but also decent numbers of German and UK stuff. The vintage menu is another attraction that is unique to Akkurat in Scandinavia. The food is good, the waiters quick, friendly, and attentive, and the whole experience is highly recommended.

Once you enter this (quite large) place you know you have found your favourite beerpub. Nice and robust decoration, not kitschy, not too spartan, just laid back and cosy. Service is helpful and knowledgeable, but they could improve it further by having one or two more persons in the bar. Really good food, even though nothing special. But the best thing is the beer selction. A shame that I only had time for a short visit.

What else is there to say. Possibly the best selection on earth. The prices for the not so rare bottls are actually below average. Standard lambics are often as cheap as the microbrews, Per thinks they may even lose money out of that. Remarkably knwoledgeable and helpful staff. if you come to Stockholm and miss this place (possibly even the best location in town), you are helpless. Might be my favorite beer place on earth, though I like Spuyten Duyvil a lot for ambiance.
