Since the turn of the millennium, a whole new generation has moved into the Kungsholmen district - and the ever-expanding range of bars and restaurants is an obvious result of the shift. These days you'll find well-established gems alongside hip upstarts that draw in Kungsholmen locals and visitors, as well as Stockholmers who usually move in other parts of the city. We've rounded up the best bars in Kungsholmen for a mid-week glass of wine, an after-work beer with friends or a weekend cocktail.

Neighbourhood favourite
This neighbourhood restaurant is popular for their ambitious small dishes, but the bar is also worth a visit, post-work and weekend drinks. The drinks menu includes a range of selected wines, craft beers and their own signature cocktails.

Regulars' haunt on Scheelegatan
Since opening in 1994, Lemon Bar has become something of an institution on the Kungsholmen bar scene, largely because of its familiar and relaxed atmosphere. Start the evening with cocktails and Japanese appetisers, and then - without having to move a single step - party the night away to chart hits and other singalong favourites that are played until late.

Southern European
Continental Styrelsen on Kungsholms torg is all about wine. The labels reflect a particular preference for southern Europe, but other parts of the world also get a look in. Enjoy a glass in the relaxed, buzzy local bistro atmosphere, or order a cocktail if you prefer.

Restaurant and nightclub in one
Lokal Izakaya is as much a bar as it is a restaurant, serving dinner as well as snacks and ambitious cocktails in a vibrant environment. The drink and food menus combine flavours from all corners of Asia, and interiors also follow the Asian theme. On weekdays, it's full of post-work revellers and at the weekend they join forces with the adjacent Lemon Bar and go all-in in nightclub mode with pop hits, cocktails and dancing.

Glorious views
Fancy sipping a cocktail while looking out over Riddarfjärden? Then Orangeriet is the place to go. Get comfy in an armchair or on a sofa and order something to sip on before a meal at Trattorian next door, or just stay put and settle in for the evening. In the summer months you can drink al fresco and when it's chillier you can warm up next to the open fire indoors.

An oenophile's delight
As the name suggests, Kungsholmens Vinbar is passionate about wine. They vary their wine selection and food menu every day in order to serve the best the season has to offer. Drop by for a glass of wine and some bar good when the mood takes you, or why not join one of their wine tastings?

French vibes
Combine hanging out at the bar with a fun activity at Boulebar in Rålambshovsparken, where the boules balls and French food and drinks flow freely. In the summer you can sit outside in the evening sun with views over the park and the water. In the colder months, move inside to the newly-built orangery which lights up the winter darkness.
