Akkurat

September 20, 2008
I’m convinced this is the happiest place on Earth for beer lovers. Just a huge beer hall that also happens to house tons of whiskey. The tap list is quite extensive, including the weekly Cantillon on draft plus Swedish micros and even one or two American beers. While that’s a good place to start, the bottle list is where it’s at. Pages upon pages of beers from around the world, with emphasis on Belgium. The vintage list of Belgians, particularly lambics, was the most impressive thing I had ever seen. The rarest beers you’ll ever find are here, though they come at a big price tag. The bartenders are extremely nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. I could stay in this place for a good long time.

This is one of the places where i do most of my beer drinking, so maybe I am a bit biased. But still, this really is a great place. The selection is excellent, even though the selection is quite big, there are no uninteresting shelf fillers. Up to five real ale from British or Swedish brewers, and an ever changing selection of guest beers mainly from Sweden, Belgium, Germany and the US. Impressive selection of bottled beers, with emphasis on Belgium (with one of the most impressive lambic selections available). Ask for the vintage list, it’s not cheap but you will find something you’ve never tried before. Can get crowded on Friday and Saturday evenings, but since the bar staff is so skilled and easily handle several orders at the same time, you won’t wait too long. And the staff has more than a decent idea about what they’re serving. Food is good (not the cheapest though), try the mussels. A must see when in Stockholm.

Visited twice on my Stockholm tour and I can truly say, Akkurat’s one of the best beer bars in the world. In terms of selection, if you’re looking for lambic, they have the best list in the world, period. I don’t know how or why, but they have a special relation with both Cantillon and 3 Fonteinen and have special beers from both breweries. They also have a lot of other Belgian ales, including many vintages. As for Swedish beers, they have both Imperial Stouts from Narke, enough said. I was also impressed with their selection of American beers, including many vintages. The staff treated me kindly and the food I did have was quite good. Sunday night is band night and it was cool. I came back on my final night and had an incredible night of fine ales and really treated myself. Akkurat is a very special bar.

Good selection of real ales, belgian beers, vintage beers and single malt whisky. The service was good. Didn´t try the food. I will certainly visit again next time I´m in Stockholm.

This place is high class, I really felt comfortable entering the warm looking room which really looks the coinniseur place to be with the all the different beers in the bar and the impressive collection of whiskyes en the corner of the bar. The beer selection is fantastic, and in the three days I spend there, I never got tired of studying their menu with the huge section of vintage. The crew knows their beers and is very friendly. On my second visit I got a tap and a tour in the cellar. Depending on the mood, I prefer the afternoons, as it is very busy in the evenings and almost impossible to get a seat and a chat with the bartender in the long bar.

The beer selection here will absolutely blow your mind. A huge three ring binder with a massive cellar. Prices will really hurt ya on the rarities though - I spent 40 bucks on one bottle which was fairly modest in comparison. The selection of rare lambics gives enough reason for a visit. Friendly staff, much enjoyed!

Made it here after a hockey game with four of my buddies who are all 20/21, and we were shocked that they have a 23 minimume age. In a resturant! We were just getting used to the bar/club minimum ages that all the rediculous places in Stockholm have, but I didn’t expect that here. That said, when the bouncer saw that we were american and were looking for good Swedish micros, he actually gave us a warm welcome and ratled off some joke about Swedish kids liking to fight because of their viking heritage. He was a funny guy, and major props to him for letting us in. The biggest let down was the lack of any Närke beers, but the selection was phemomenal regardless, with a very good smoked porter from nils oscar as the current swedish tap special. The most frustrating part was trying to choose a belgian beer becuase the list spanned a couple pages in the menue. The bartenders seemed to be very knowlegable, and were very friendly. Probably the best bar I’ve ever been too on the whole.

This is one of the best and stranges places I have ever been. When I entered the bar I thought "What, they can’t be serious, is it some pub & bowl - bar and the staff seemes like a bunch of wierd heavy/hard rockers driving trucks in their spare time !!!??". But then I started looking at the beer & whiskey selection, both tap and beercard !! It is very empressive, when we came by, they had a draught festival and served Eylenbosch Kriek & Framboise ’89 - Fantastic. They also have a small but nice selection of american beer fx. North Coast X Old Rasputin and Bells Expedition Stout. But the most fantastic is their sele´ction of vintage beers (De Dolle, cantillon,....) and off course their own Cantillon brews (Soleil de Minute + Reed Gueuze Muscat + Reed Gueuze Pinot Noir). The Staff knows what they are dooing...... By the way... the food is also good !!

Huge, crowded pub and restaurant full of all kinds of people. Nice terrace outside, too. A bit empty and bare inside. However, the beer selection quickly makes you forget about that. They have a huge list of especially US and Belgian beers, but also decent numbers of German and UK stuff. The vintage menu is another attraction that is unique to Akkurat in Scandinavia. The food is good, the waiters quick, friendly, and attentive, and the whole experience is highly recommended.
