Best-of list · Sports Guide
Ten ranked Stockholm bars for watching the game, from British and Irish pubs to craft beer brewpubs, with Premier League, Allsvenskan and SHL tips.
The short answer
10 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
Stockholm watches football across two calendars at once. There is the home obsession with Allsvenskan and the SHL, and there is the city's deep British and Irish pub tradition that puts the Premier League and the Champions League on with the sound up. A real game-day bar here gets four things right: enough screens that you never lose the ball, a sound policy that follows the match you came for, a kitchen that holds pace, and a crowd that cares about the result. These ten get those things right, ranked for the games people in this city actually show up to watch.
Stockholm's British and Irish pubs are where the international games get the loudest crowd and the sound. These rooms run the Premier League and the Champions League with the commentary up.
How we picked
We rank Stockholm game-day bars on the things that decide whether you enjoy the match: whether the sound goes on the game you came for, which leagues each room reliably shows, the crowd, and how the room holds up once the whistle blows. Every bar here links to its full barsforKings profile and was cross-checked against its own listing and at least one independent local guide, drawing on View Stockholm, Routes North and Thatsup.

The Tudor Arms in Ostermalm is the partisan home of English football, and The Bishops Arms and The London Pub in Norrmalm put the sound on the match. The Liffey in the Old Town shows the top games across two floors for an international crowd.
Akkurat on Sodermalm pours a deep Belgian and Nordic cellar, Omnipollos hatt brews its own world-class range, and the Omnipollo Brewery Tap pours straight from the source. All three suit a match watched over a serious glass rather than a packed pub.
Kvarnen on Sodermalm is the historic home of Hammarby supporters and the place to feel the home league up close on a matchday. The Liffey shows only international games, so go elsewhere for Allsvenskan.
Oliver Twist and Akkurat on Sodermalm both run the match for a neighborhood crowd, and Kvarnen turns loud for the home league. The Sodermalm rooms suit a fan who wants to stay south of the central Norrmalm crush.
Sofia covers the bars of northern Europe for barsforKings. Her ranking order is simple: sightlines first, sound policy second, kitchen pace third.
