The first Weekday opened in 2002 and sold a lot of denim but from quite expensive brands. The owners thought it was time to change [...]]]> http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/weekday-cheap-monday/feed 0 http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/beyond-retro http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/beyond-retro#comments Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:08:31 +0000 Lotta Zachrisson Beyond Retro - The best vintage What did vintage lovers do before Beyond Retro came to town? Of course there has been several good second hand shops in Stockholm before, but nothing quite measures up to this London original that now keeps shop on Åsögatan. From the outside it looks like nothing. A garage type door and a rack of less interesting [...]]]> http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/beyond-retro/feed 0 http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/monks-cafe http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/monks-cafe#comments Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:06:35 +0000 Lotta Zachrisson Monks Café - Beer for beer lovers Don’t be fooled by the name. Monks is no café, but the only brewery in Stockholm city. Yeah, you guessed it – this is a place for beer lovers. You can visit the brewery, they even organise courses to teach you more. But most people just come to the bar/restaurant to enjoy one of the already [...]]]> http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/monks-cafe/feed 2 http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/copacabana http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/copacabana#comments Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:05:31 +0000 Lotta Zachrisson Copacabana - The nicest café in town The area Hornstull on Södermalm went from bearing the not so flattering nick name “Kniv-Söder” (Knife Söder) to becoming one of the most hip and coming parts of town. And it all happened in a few years around 2002-2004. Copacabana rode the new wave and was just what Hornstull needed at the time – a really [...]]]> http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/copacabana/feed 0 http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/hasseludden-yasuragi http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/hasseludden-yasuragi#comments Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:03:58 +0000 Lotta Zachrisson Hasseludden Yasuragi - Relaxation Extreme Ahhhh… Yasuragi Japanese spa. It’s definitely a splurge, but the one time you do come here will stay with you for weeks. And you will be so relaxed it’s like floating on air. The best way to visit Hasseludden is by one of the half day packages. In the afternoon you arrive around 2 pm and stay [...]]]> http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/hasseludden-yasuragi/feed 0 http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/svart-kaffe http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/svart-kaffe#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:59:17 +0000 Lotta Zachrisson Svart Kaffe - Come for the picnic bag Svart Kaffe was favorite spots for a coffee ever since they started in 1996, but for years it was so tiny that it was hard to get a seat. But lovers of club music still came to hear some cool tunes. Since the Hello Kitty shop next door got smaller there is now more space for [...]]]> http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/svart-kaffe/feed 0 http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/galleri-kontrast http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/galleri-kontrast#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:58:03 +0000 Lotta Zachrisson Galleri Kontrast - Photo journalism at its best This is the gallery I frequent the most and there is no reason to miss it with a very central location close to Slussen and free entrance – although there is a little glass jar where you can put a few coins if you want. And they show journalistic photography something that I’m really into, [...]]]> http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/galleri-kontrast/feed 0 http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/nada-bar http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/nada-bar#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:55:30 +0000 Lotta Zachrisson Nada Bar - Good party vibe Nada is one of many small bars in this neighbourhood but it might be the one with the best party vibe. Outside there is a sign saying BAR and a beautifully vaulted window.

But I hope that Café Oye is here to stay. The couple behind it is Swedish-Chilean and they have definitley put their own touch to the place – the latino touch!

Czech beer, Czech food and almost Czech prices does the trick. They have several tasty beers on draft like Bernard, Primator and of course the classical Krusovice and Pilsner Urquell. And even though they have increased the prices to 56-57 it’s still a good deal since [...]]]> http://www.spottedbylocals.com/stockholm/soldaten-svejk-czech/feed 0
