To say that the Brass Bar is luxurious and exclusive would be an understatement. Part of Café Opera, an established bastion of Stockholm’s nightlife, Brass Bar is essentially the VVIP section in an already VIP club.

Brass Bar was designed by Koncept Stockholm with a view to conjuring the decadent, swinging vibe of nightclubs from the ’60s and ’70s. And conjure it does with its dark and seductive atmosphere, its jewel-coloured velvets and mirrored prisms suspended from the ceiling, and its creative cocktails. After all, this is a club where the bar is on its own elevated, back-lit platform. And where the bartenders – known as the Bookies – have an almost cult following and their own blog.

Entry can be tricky as it’s guest list only (though there is the option to book a table in advance), but exclusivity is, after all, a part of Brass Bar’s ritzy charm, as it attracts Stockholm’s local and international glitterati.
