A concrete garden bar under a Södermalm bridge

Noteworthy for: Trädgården is not just a club for music, but a fun place to challenge your friends to a ping pong duel or a boule battle.

In mid-May each year, Trädgården opens to a loyal crowd clamouring to spend another summer drinking under the Skanstull Bridge. As bars go in Stockholm, this one is unique; it lies next to an old construction site and is hard to find. But once you spy that gate and enter, you'll know it was well worth it.

There is usually a lively DJ playing pop, rock, techno and hip hop, while patrons sit on a smattering of mismatched sofas and pillow-lined wooden benches. If you're hungry, grab their special burger at the grill; you won't be sorry.
