The Best Bar in Gamla Stan and Skeppsholmen, Stockholm

Overlooking Stortorget and the Nobel Museum, Pharmarium takes its history—as the site of the city's first pharmacy—seriously. The walls of this cozy bar are lined with wooden medicine cabinets and the copper-lined bar is topped with glass chemical jars and equipment, alongside the burning candles that add to the intimacy of the space. The cocktail menu prides itself on unusual flavor combinations that mix local spirits with ingredients ranging from flower cordials to balsamic-soaked blueberries and arctic bramble.
