Mälarpaviljongen – the hottest LGBT spot in Stockholm

Finally! You know it’s spring in Stockholm when Mälarpaviljongen has opened.

Mälarpaviljongen is the place if you are looking for an atmospheric, cozy local restaurant and high-spirited bar with great music and people. It also happens to one of the hottest LGBT spots in town!

Overlooking Lake Mälaren this is a cosy, green haven where you can chill out over a glass of wine, lovely lunch or just enjoy a coffee & cake after a pleasant walk along Norr Mälarstrand Promenade.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day! If you’re in Stockholm today I recommend you to spend the evening at one of my favorite restaurants in Stockholm called Momma. The atmosphere at the lesbian owned restaurant and bar is relaxed and cozy. They offer hearty, moderately priced food that the staff describes as “rustic elegance”. Special Valentine’s Day menu tonight!

Soak up the sun at Mälarpaviljongen

The last days in Stockholm have been wonderful! The weather is warm, flowers are blossoming and the sun never seams to set. This time of year the days extend well into the night and the outdoor cafes, restaurants, bars and clubs remain bathed in sunshine until late evening. One of the best places to enjoy this fantastic season is Mälarpaviljongen. It also happens to be a hot LGBT-spot!

Mälarpaviljongen is a verdant oasis with a restaurant, bar and alfresco section, located on the pier, waterfront and a barge at Norr Mälarstrand. From here you have the most stunning views across the waters of Riddarfjärden. This is the place if you are looking for an atmospheric, cozy local restaurant and high-spirited bar with great music and people.
