Convivial, friendly service, and brooding atmosphere which takes on another element during weekend music sessions.

Description:
Showing good things often come in small packages, Erlands is a little bar just off the corner of Odengatan, a district with a decent helping of bars and bistros that is worth taking a metro to St Eriksplan stop for.

Walk-ins only helps keep this compact space feel impromptu, non-cliquey and fluid, adding to the eventual atmosphere and sense of ease.

You’ll find table service (after a fashion – there’s about 15 feet between the door and the bar top) for cocktails and spirits which is delivered in a relaxed style without over elaboration.

You may encounter live Jazz music between 5-7pm on Friday/Saturday/Sunday if you can find room, while a small upstairs balcony area with a few seats overlooks the bar downstairs.

Drinks quality is good, and its one of those venues few people seem to have a bad word to say about.

One to go for a clandestine late night drink, a romantic tryst, a brooding loungey evening, that sort of thing.
