The Djungeltrumman club editor's tips.

2.35;1

Address: Berns, Berzelii Park
9pm – 4am
150 kronor
Age: 23 and over
Website

The new Berns has undergone a major facelift and has recently reclaimed its undeniable place as one of the city’s biggest, best and most ambitious nightclubs.

Walk in through the hotel entrance, go down the stairs and you will discover a gigantic floor space with more than enough room for dancing, getting to know people and hanging around in the lounge in a nice dark environment with the freshest clientele in town.

In terms of music, Berns plays everything from hip-hop to house, jazz and soul. There’s also a major focus on art exhibitions, film viewings and other visual treats.

Tonight

PomPom takes over Berns with Emynd and Bo Blitz (US). Together they offer the very best local house, bounce and hip hop classics from Baltimore and New Orleans. Support all evening from PomPom brothers Agge & Stefski.


Bauer Weekends

Address: Bauer, Götgatan 15
9pm - 1am
Free entry
Age: 20 and over
Website

The hyper attractive Götgatan bar Bauer has made a major commitment to getting in great DJs every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Large sections of the snazzy Stockholm elite are brought together in the large bar to play everything from hip hop, Baltimore club and disco to indie rock and electro.

Tonight

DJ August Wimnell.


Blondie

Address: Knast, Upplandsgatan 7
9pm - 1am
Free entry
Age: 18 and over

Down among the graffiti-covered stone walls, the candlelit darkness, thick dry ice, red leather sofas and curious images of skeletons and popes, Stockholm legend Tommie X opens the doors every Friday night to his wonderfully decadent club, Blondie.

The club is a coming together of the gays and the fag hags, the media old timers and the nineteen year old barflies, bewigged anorexic monsters and confused but happy indie poppers and fashionistas.

There is room for everybody here, whether you want to dance 'til you sweat to life-affirming eurodisco or sit and make out in the black sofas.


Heimat

Address: Landet, LM Ericssons Väg 27
8pm - 1am
20 and over
Age: 40 kronor
Website

The Hell on Wheels gang's little monthly club Heimat keeps on rolling with great live bands and all sorts of well chosen DJs coming to Landet's people's park-like bar out at Telefonplan.

Tonight

Live: Open up an Bleeds and The Exploding Boy.

DJ action with Mole in a Hole and Snutjackan.


Julia

Address: Restaurangen, Oxtorgsgatan 14
9pm - 1am
Free entry
Age: 20 and over
Website

The media crowd's favourite hang-out is back. After a summer expedition to Spymlan and earlier escapades at Riche, Berns and Tranan, Fredrik Virtanen and Tom Pyl have finally found their way back home to safety.

Every Friday the media elite makes a pilgrimage to the bar section of Melker Andersson's very fine Restaurangen where they listen to soft rock, west coast pop, mature soul, friendly pop, FM rock, singalong anthems and camp fire standards. Fredrik and Tom are often joined by guest DJs who are not entirely unknown.

Tonight

Thomas Hall & Digge Zetterberg join Virtanen & Pyl.


MGMT

Address: Debaser Medis, Medborgarplatsen
7pm - 3am
180 kronor (pre-book)
Age: 20 and over
Website

Hyped up Brooklyn band MGMT (Management) come to Debaser Medds for an exclusive live performance on the back of Oracular Spectacular, an eöectropop/psychedelic rock album that took the world by storm this spring. Support: New York band A Place to Bury Strangers. It's bound to be packed, so get your tickets in advance at Tickster.se, Sound Pollution, Record Hunter or Pet Sounds.


O-Baren

Address: O-Baren, Stureplan 2
9pm - 2am
Free entry
Age: 21 and over
Website

O-Baren located right at the back of the luxury Sturehof restaurant, is like a little oasis in the middle of Stureplan. Here you can be certain of avoiding DJ Bobo, Basshunter and champagne-spraying brats. Instead Lorenzo and Nicke at the bar always make sure there are some top notch DJs playing some of the best rock, indie, electro, soul, house and disco in town.

Tonight

Klubb Fetsmocka: Niclas, Victor and Simon play Cajun rock, punk, soul and Bruce.


Trinity Sound

Address: Bysis, Hornsgatan 82
10pm - 3am
Age: 20 and over
Website

Trinity Sound has been spreading the word of reggae in Stockholm since 1993. A lot of people and parties have passed in that time, but trinity veterans like Governor Andy, Daddy Boastin, Fabulous G and DJ Flars are still there behind the decks and the mics, making sure the party never ends.

Tonight

15th anniversary bash.
