Spy Bar

Stockholm


Though it's no longer the super-hip star of the scene it once was, the Spy Bar (aka ‘the Puke’; spy means vomit in Swedish) is still a landmark and fun to check out if you’re making the Östermalm rounds. It covers three levels in a turn-of-the-century flat (spot the tile stoves).
