EBG Rating: 7.9/10

Choice/Quality of Drinks:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Boasts the largest selection of Mead in Sweden. Otherwise, a competent but unflashy range of drinks.

Style/Décor:
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Framsidans on the ground floor is a tiny bar decorated boudoir style with thickly patterned wallpaper, heavy curtains and candlelight.

Downstairs, a warren of historic cellars: expect chunky worn tables, a faint Medieval patina applied to the decoration (nothing too over the top, besides the menus, perhaps).

Atmosphere/Character:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Two bars, both atmospheric and characterful in different ways. The ground floor perhaps holds more atmosphere in the air, but the cellars have more of a buzz and excitement.

Amenities/Events:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Food, snacks, occasional events.

Value For Money:
❤️❤️
City centre prices. A little remorseless but not too different to the alternatives nearby.

Description:
Sjätte Tunnan was an interesting one to review, because its two bars, the first, Framsidans a dinky little corner bar at ground level is so much different to the medieval cellar and restaurant beneath.

Framsidans would probably squeeze on the guide in its own right. Decorated boudoir style with thickly patterned wallpaper, heavy curtains and candlelight, you can fit perhaps 15, 10 comfortably. It’s a nice place to have a drink and hang out. You’ll get quite a shock if you begin exploring the rest of the premises.

Downstairs, expect chunky worn tables, a faint Medieval patina applied to the decoration (nothing too over the top, besides the menus, perhaps) and a warren of historic rooms of immense character.

As you exit via the cellar you’ll have the challenge of opening an absolute beast of a front door!

Tricky therefore to bundle the two together, but they are as one. If you’re wanting a quick drink or perhaps a romantic candlelit one, try upstairs. If you’re with friends, head down to the cellars.

Despite the touristic location this place still has much to be said for it. Widening our perspective, you can go further and say if only anywhere else in Sweden had a more fanciful approach to bars.
