£££ Restaurant Bar Nightclub

As soon as it opened in 2012, Häktet quickly became a hot Södermalm success story. It's home to a pared-back dining room, bar, a hidden cocktail bar called Vänster and a bustling courtyard in the summer. A hangout-friendly meeting place that attracts a mixed crowd of in-the-know Stockholmers.

The name refers to Stockholm's Bysättningshäkte - a debtor's prison which was located at the same address between the years 1781 and 1872. Thankfully, it's had quite the upgrade since those days. The prison houses a dining room and bars gathered under one roof, where diners mingle with late-night bar patrons regardless of whether it's a weekday or weekends. Spontaneous guests with drop-in places are also welcome here.

The dining room has a pared-back bistro style, with polished concrete and wooden details. Food is served with modern influences from a classic three-course menu, with fun snacks and side dishes that you can share if you prefer. Meat, fish and vegetarian options are a given. Another draw is the large bar with its range of beers and well-mixed cocktails.

Vänster
If you're in the mood for a really intimate living room feel, you'll find this cocktail bar hidden behind its own door. Cocktail quaffers can socialise here without being disturbed by loud music. The bar serves as a living room for those who want to explore interesting drinks and listen to DJs, and the themes and cocktail list change constantly for variety.

Just in time for summer nights out, Häktet open up their secluded courtyard where cocktails and DJs are the order of the day. It quickly becomes a lively spot with a mixed crowd from afternoon to late evening.

Cozy place with very nice staff. Need to try more on the menu to see if the rating goes up.

Häktet Vänster är en av Stockholms första riktiga speakeasies och efter bara ett par års försök att komma in lyckades vi. Vi fick ett långt trevligt snack med bartender Svante Garsten vilket satte stämningen för kvällen. Som ett par andra stä...

No but OH MY GOD WHAT GOOD!
That I have not come here before is a wonder, since almost everyone I know are diligent guests here. We had dinner on a weekday so the atmosphere was relatively calm. However, packed with a cozy lovely buzz but we were able to talk to each other all night without havi...

Was here with a bunch of friends and we had a successful evening from the first drink at the bar to the last coffee. Drinks wise, it was a direct hit. Drank a good IPA, a sick good drink (took 2 actually) and an ice-cold Coca-Cola. Even the food was good. First, a very good steak tartare, on origina...

What place?! 


I was here for an AW after work midweek and what a positive surprise. We sat on the outdoor terrace in the courtyard, and what a lovely courtyard! It was a great atmosphere, just the right amount of table and therefore not too close to the next party. At the same time it did not...

The rating refers to lunch, has not tested dinner or AW

Every day offer two day: one vegetarian and one for Karnivorer

An extremely well-cooked, pleasant and tasteful lunch. You feel pleasantly measured and avoid the heavy coma. Time and care are put on the right.

Ojojoj What many nice, wacky and chaotic nights I have had here. When a familiar one lives nearby, it has just become natural that we have gone down here when the dance craving has been reminded. I had wished it would be to go and eat the food (which will definitely be a mission in the future) but I...

Pandevin i 100 dagar!

Alltså ni alla måste dit innan det är försent.

Hur ska ja börja: trevligt bemötande, glada och pratglada servitörer. Enkel och tydlig meny. Mysigt ställe med behagligt med ljus, ljud och verkligen anpassat för c...

Don't be discouraged by the name of the place. The room was very comfortable and clean.

I have been here and ate midweek and like both the decor and the food. Bite-trendy and awesome well prepared, albeit right get, dishes on the menu. Ate vegoalternativet which clearly exceeded what you normally expect when it is primarily meat and fish on offer. The prices certainly feels a bit large...

Oops Oops! Here huh it crowded and sweaty! I like it, feel genuine and festive. What do we want out of a nightclub? Is there a golden middle ground to go or is it the journey that is the goal?
For a long time we people have asked us that question (I think) but have we received some answers? Can...

Awesome bar, awesome restaurant. Great service and the food was great, we sat at the head table and it was a wonderful experience.

Jag och en vän gick spontant in på häktet en fredagskväll för middag och efter lite väntan i baren lyckades de ordna ett bord till oss längst in till höger under lite grönska (supermysigt). Ingen av oss hade ätit middag där innan och satan vad...

I ended up here by pure chance. Seen people lining up at night to enter ... now I know why. The place is awesome! Few square meters with low ceilings, English-speaking staff and artistic impression in the premises. Guaranteed free from Sture P and his friends-Gold!

Has only been there at night and always been happy. Sick good atmosphere and a lot of people! Especially nice people oxå..

Always happy! Cruel staff always helpful even if you get a few too many, or try to book only when hunger strikes in.

Smaker med hög klass, fantastiska viner och drinkar samt suverän personal! Känns som en blandning mellan att vara på ett riktigt bra inneställe i svenska fjällen och södra italien. Avslappnat och full fart! Här blir man inte besviken utan väl värt e...

Helt fantastiskt kväll med bästa vänner! Vilken matupplevelse!
Goda smårätter, goda drinkar, fantastiskt vin och gudomlig service!
Rekommenderas verkligen! 🙌
