Pharmarium is an award-winning, intimate cocktail bar in Stockholmâs Gamla Stan, nestled in the historic Stortorget square where Swedenâs first pharmacy opened in 1575. Housed in the original apothecary, the space is full of dark wood cabinets, leaded glass panels, and checkerboard floors, creating a mysterious, alchemistâmeetsâopiumâden vibe. With around 45 seats, including cozy window nooks reserved for walk-ins, and a marble-topped bar where mixologists craft drinks tableâside, itâs designed for up-close cocktail theater. The menu is a playful alchemy of signature cocktailsâlike smoked birchâbark whiskey creations and pandanâchamomile blendsâpaired with seasonal small plates and snacks, such as oysters or beetroot with quailâs egg. Staff are knowledgeable, delivering well-balanced and imaginative combinations. Patronsâfrom locals to touristsâpraise the venue's "magical drinks", "cozy, mysterious atmosphere", and inventive pairings. Some note it's snug and pricey (ââŻ200âŻSEK per drink), but agree the vibe and creativity make it worth it. Ideal for dates, pre-dinner drinks, or cocktail exploration, Pharmarium offers a memorable journey through history and flavor in the heart of Old Town.
