EBG Rating: 7.5/10

Choice/Quality of Drinks:
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
An uncompromising approach to sourcing the best beers from Sweden and around the world, with a whisky selection to match it. Cask lines that are not occupied by the typical exported English brands from Fullers, Timothy Taylors’ etc but actually feature Swedish producers, is a true standout for the country.

Style/Décor:
❤️❤️❤️
Pub-restaurant hybrid with nice touches around the high tables opposite the bar. Muted and safety first elsewhere. A long room with sizeable corner bar in the far left corner, row of seating along the length of the pub and some high benches opposite the other side of the bar.

Atmosphere/Character:
❤️❤️❤️
An established fixture with the rhythms and atmosphere that accompanies this. There is a slight formality and absence of activity around the bar which makes it not as casual a place as it could be.

Amenities/Events:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Food, snacks, outdoor seating, live music, private events, beer/whisky tastings.

Value For Money:
❤️❤️❤️
Lunch menu deals are very reasonable particularly given they include a beer. Outside of that expect typical Stockholm city centre prices.

Description:
Established in 1995, so something of a city fixture by this point, Akkurat has an uncompromising approach to sourcing the best beers from Sweden and around the world, with a whisky selection to match it. Cask lines that are not occupied by the typical exported English brands from Fullers, Timothy Taylors’ etc but actually feature Swedish producers, is a true standout for the country.

Those seeking satisfaction purely through imbibing are unlikely to be disappointed.

Service is usually decent too, gracious and welcome.

The venue is a hybrid pub-restaurant (as covered in detail, for historical reasons Sweden doesn’t really do pubs) with some decent signage in the seating area opposite the bar giving it a relaxed feel.

There is a slight formality and absence of activity around the bar which makes it not as casual a place as it could be. Oliver Twist nearby has them beat for that, while Bakfickan at Zum Franziskaner has that further still.

It is a classic example of a venue that beer and whisky specialists will drool over and talk to you all day about whereas the average person is probably likely to say it’s a competent decent bar restaurant. Both are in their own ways correct. It gets on our guide as a result.

This decision was firmed up by visiting Stigbergets Fot nearby where nice service and excellent beers can’t save what is a truly wretched venue. Akkurat could be more adventurous in style and format but earns points for reliability.

If you are looking for both spectacle and supreme beers though, Zum Franziskaner is but a short walk away.
