Reviews of Rival

Was here for dinner on a Sunday and there were a lot of people because they were a performance.
The head waiter was nice and the service quite okay. But the food was COMPLETELY tasteless. Two of Oss had red deer with carrot and sweet potato, purée and red wine sauce. And don't understand how you manage to make a puree COMPLETELY without flavor? Heard that more tables told me
About this right and some changed completely. They were quick to come out with a potato puree instead.. Feels like they were prepared for it. But unfortunately it was not better. Sticky and tasteless. The deer itself was good and good! The third in the party took fish that was good, better flavors on that dish. For dessert they were a truffle that was rock hard... Mango and passion fruit dessert taste better.
Won't go back and eat here, but the bar is nice.

Cozy bar! I have been a little against going to Rival because of the bad treatment and service I got at the café part not so long ago, top 3 worst treatment, but here in the bar part it was different.

Really nice head waiter who gave us a table even though we weren't going to eat, as we were quite many and all seats were taken at the tables around the bars. The bartender was also nice but had quite low energy. But we can all have them.
Anyway, I had a glass of bubbly which was good! But here you can probably hit the ground running with a really nice drink too!

I don't know if I would have gone here for dinner as it feels quite lively with both restaurant part, 3 floors with bars and then they have shows. That's why there are always a lot of people. In my opinion, the place is better suited for a lunch, Aw or a drink in the evening, but not as a quiet dinner place.

At least I was happy with the drinks, the treatment and the service at this part of the rival!

The hotel has really nice rooms, if you choose the larger rooms. The smaller ones are a bit like any other hotel. The breakfast has been really good. Their brunch has been the best in town in rounds and sometimes a bit boring (I've eaten it a lot of times, now it's been a while though). I LOVE going to performances here and it raises the grade. Have always been met by nice staff and the environment is really lovely.

Love the atmosphere here.
The 20/30s vibe with walls filled with movie ice and the whole cinema feeling that permeates the environment is really spot on.
Great hotel too!

Housed in the old cinema at Mariatorget in Södermalm is Hotel Rival. Thus, their bar Watson's has sympathetically generous opening hours. The environment is absolutely stunning with preserved Art Deco details from 1937. They have a little trouble with our unusual test drink, but ask all the right questions to serve an excellent New York Sazerac. The cocktail menu is short, but has 10 gins and 6 tonics for G&T fans. We try their signature drink Swedish Forestry, but it turns out to be premixed(!), a little rejected and with too much Grenadine. After a conversation with the bartenders, Octavian mixes a delicious composition of his own instead with gin, green Chartreuse and champagne syrup, which we name Monkey Business. Why isn't it on the menu instead? We end with an inspiring conversation with Isaiah, who feels overqualified here, about bars in New York and the selection in Stockholm. This feels like a good place when you want a cocktail at odd times, if it's the right people behind the bar. 🥃👍

Been here several times and obviously comes back. The décor is lovely, the food is ok but the only thing that pulls it all down is the service. The staff were very friendly and helpful. If you're going to a show at Rival, it's still a glass or something small to eat at the bar before, but doesn't come here just for the place without a performance.

Suitable for all occasions! Have stayed at the hotel, hung in the bar and eaten brunch. Everything has been great! Always good service and the food has been great every time. A natural söderfavorit for me.

Was there and saw the Stand up comedian and was very nice! Can fit more people than it feels like the room should fill. The parquet seats have enough legroom and you do not have to sit inconvenient and crowded under the Act. The staff were very friendly and helpful. When I do not recommend that you visit the Rivals Café in view of the response I received there, so I can recommend to see a show at rival. We had a nice evening!

Nice environment. Usually good drinks but some bartenders put more care into the drinks than others. haven't eaten here but would be happy to do it.

Trevligt inredd bar, stor som attan så det nästan slår över och känns som Finlandsfärjan. Men äh, snabba bartenders och goda drinkar. Men det finns roligare ställen runt Mariatorget!

Warm and comfortable room. Quiet atmosphere and tremendously fantastic sound level despite crammed restaurant.
Service a bit slow and anonymous but OK
The food is good, well cooked, good portions and seasoning.
I ate tartar that was great and very good fries.
A bit boring (classic Swedish-French) menu But it tastes good as I said.

Located in the hotel and in addition to the dining room there are 2 bars and a café.

The whole building is fantastic and it feels good to know that if you go on a performance here, the restaurant will deliver if you choose to dine on site.

Dyrt och lyxigt, men lever upp till det. Fina rum, jättegod frukost, trevlig bar, god a la carte-meny.

Idag satt jag med min väninna och tog ett glas vin här. Vi satt inomhus vid baren och försökte ha en konversation men det var nästan omöjligt då en av personalen skulle tömma disken väldigt aggressivt så man knappt kunde höra vad man prata om. Vi flyttade ut och då kom en av personalen och skällde ut mig för att jag höjt rösten till personalen där inne( jag höjde rösten endast för att hon skulle kunna höra mig genom allt ljud, inte för att va otrevlig) han förolämpande mig med bland annat fråga om jag aldrig har gått på restaurang förut mitt liv. Hemsk service här, skulle ej rekommendera att komma hit.händelse den 4/7 kl 15.30

Tried their coveted brunch. Superhard to get table, but their friendly Stewart helped me to book places that were actually intended for drop-in (they have 8 such places).

The brunch was okay. Great variety of cold and hot food. The cold part consisted of salmon, salads, cured meats, tartar and herring, among other things. On the warm part there were scrambled eggs, bacon, spare ribs, etc. There was also a smaller but okay dessert table.

The brunch was, as I said, weekend okay, but nothing special. It left no great impression. It took a very long time to get the drink, we had been able to eat up the first plate. The best was their green juice (not included in the buffet).

Cozy place with very good brunch. Hot buffet was unfortunately not as well made as the rest of the buffet.

Perfect drinks and nice and knowledgeable service. Mariatorget has become a notch richer.

Jag åt dyraste och minsta, nästan tomma Ostron på Rival. Jag är jätte besviken.
