The Sherlock Holmes Cocktail Bar

Nestled in the heart of Malmö at Norra Vallgatan 16 (211 25) in Sweden, The Sherlock Holmes Cocktail Bar invites you into a fully themed, immersive experience inspired by the iconic detective. From the moment you arrive, the decor transports you to a bygone era: think heavy wood panelling, vintage detective-props (magnifying glasses, hats, pipes), jazz-tinged ambience and candlelit corners. One review noted the “decor is great, perfect ambiance and lots of nice little details that make it unique.” The bar specialises in creative cocktails with detective-inspired names — for example “A Study in Scarlet”, “Lestrade’s Nightcap” and “Hemingway’s Mistress” — as part of the Victorian lounge vibe. Alongside drinks, there’s a “Flatbread Bonanza” food option (sharing flatbreads), snacks, and even connections to the adjacent escape-game venue Sherlocked so you can make it an experience-rich evening. Opening hours tend to focus on the later part of the week: Wednesday and Thursday from ~16:00 to 21:30, Friday 16:00-23:00, Saturday from 13:00-23:00. Sundays to Tuesdays are closed. The experience is ideal for couples, groups of friends, or anyone looking for a bar more than just drinks — it’s atmosphere and concept combined. Some reviewers mention that while the décor and theme are standout, cocktail strength or serving size might be slightly less than expected for the premium theme-price. If you’re visiting, consider booking ahead (especially if you plan to pair with the escape game) and arrive with a sense for a themed evening rather than a standard pub night.
