A visit to The Big Ben transports you to a classic music pub in London. This English restaurant on Folkungagatan has been providing Stockholmers with London Fine Dining, along with a large selection of whisky and beer, since 1993. 

The atmosphere at this Södermalm pub is welcoming, lively - and thoroughly English. They serve more than 50 different kinds of beer from all over the world, a wide selection of vintage whisky, as well as selected cognac, rum and tequila. The drinks menu also includes several classic cocktails and wine. 

The frequently changing lunch menu offers at least two different lunch choices, as well as a vegetarian option. In the evenings they serve fish and chips, bangers and mash and other classic pub grub favourites, as well as international dishes such as pepper steak, risotto and fish and seafood stew. 

Good food and drinks are not the only reason to visit The Big Ben. World-class entertainment is also on the menu, late into the evening. Every weekend the bar transforms into a party where guests can dance to music from various artists and DJs. Downstairs, Big Ben Standup is a comedy club where both famous and upcoming comedians will tickle your funny bone seven nights a week. 

Whether you want to try a new whisky, enjoy a big night out with food, laughs and music, or just have a beer in relaxed surroundings, The Big Ben has something for you.

Relatively large bar with good cheap prices!

The obvious beer hangout is for residents in the area.
Best stand-up in the basement too!!

Very nice staff and incredibly fun stand up. Laughed non-stop for two hours. Was here on a Saturday night, however, can not comment on the food as we only drank in the bar.

As soon as I arrived, the old man who runs the (mildly funny) stand-up show walked up to me and told me that I looked like I belonged to same generation as his uncle. It's hard to explain why this was so unpleasant; you should've been there. But this absurd comment ruined my night and week...

The menu says to drink and cookies are included in lunch. This is not true. If you want a Pepsi then it costs SEK 38 extra. Cookies do not exist. Only water and coffee are included in the lunch price. Lunch 135kr + 38kr soft drinks = 173kr quite expensive.

A purely classical pub, but who have a little extra to have stand-up. But if you go a few times within the same month, chances are that you see the same routine. It costs nothing to see stand-drunken, but only half of the comics are worth seeing. Food is okay when it comes to default of pub-food.

The food is beyond expectation, loves their standup, beautiful ambience and atmosphere. Good South-hang-Chin!

Big Ben just feels like a småsunkig pub should feel. Always friendly and standupen offered on every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday is a fun feature.

Friendly staff.

One of the waitresses tried to openly flirting with my boyfriend. We lost my appetite after that and decided to move on to another place to eat. I liked the place into the bargain! Don't go there.

Was here for stand-up night, and it was hilarious! Food was alright too! Definitely going back!
