For several years, Grev Turegatan 30 was home to A Bar Called Gemma, a favourite among bartenders when asked to name their Stockholm pick. Gemma closed this spring, and founder Johan Evers has since opened Jokes Aside on Regeringsgatan. On Friday, Bar Kabinett opened in the space, and it\u2019s not just anyone taking over.<\/p>\n<p>Oscar Jonsson Buhre joins from Lucy\u2019s Flower Shop, where he was head bartender. He has been named Bartendernas Bartender three years running and Bartender of the Year 2025. This is his first bar of his own, and he designed the interior himself. His partner, Hj\u00f6rdis Lundstr\u00f6m, is behind the visual identity.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"16822727-fcf4-3f82-1457-4dab5a7c3877\" class=\"photo lazy inline\" loading=\"lazy\" data-component=\"lazy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1788114492_584_image.webp\" alt=\"Two images from Bar Kabinett.

There are lava lamps. There\u2019s a collection of vinyl records. There\u2019s art on the walls and details you\u2019ll only notice on your third visit. Not big, not loud \u2013 just good, is the ambition.<\/p>\n<p>The drinks list starts with the classics but refuses to be predictable: fermentation, natural acids and original takes on the Sherry Cobbler, Whisky Highball and Strawberry Fizz. To eat: curry-pickled eggs, turnip with za\u2019atar and, of course, chilli nuts.<\/p>\n<p>40 seats. Open Tuesday to Saturday, 16.00\u201300.30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The address may look familiar.
