In short, Hyde Stockholm is a safe bet if you’re looking for a top-notch clubbing experience on a Friday or Saturday (other days closed).
Freyja + Söder
Great club vibes at high altitudes where you can experience the magic of the city from above. If that sounds like your thing, you’ll love Freyja + Söder, a major investment from Stureplansgruppen. The owners have put a lot of effort into creating an extraordinary experience on Hornsgatan, and you’ll notice it as soon as you enter the doors.
The best party takes place on the rooftop terrace Söder, an outdoor seating with room for 400 guests and everything you could wish for – two awesome bars, a hot dog stand, and a magnificent view of Djurgården, Old Town, Riddarfjärden, and Södermalm. Watch the sunset while enjoying the good things in life. The extensive drinks menu includes wine, beer, cider, non-alcoholic drinks, and tasty cocktails with fun names that flirt with both Södermalm and pop culture. Who doesn’t want a Sommarkort, Bulleribång or Bålgeting?
But Freyja isn’t all dancing, bar hopping, and fun happenings. There’s also an excellent restaurant – the perfect start to a night out. Take a seat in the stylish and lively dining room, where they serve modern and uncomplicated food of the highest quality. When you and your party are full, move on to the terrace and continue the party.

Golden Hits
Golden Hits mainly attracts a slightly older audience, and the venue has three lovely dance floors with different themes. On the main floor, you’ll find the schlager floor, where songs from the Melodifestivalen and Eurovision are mixed with Swedish pop hits. The middle floor’s nostalgia floor offers sing-a-long songs and your favorite tunes from the past. And if you prefer newer house and urban music, head to the Biz club floor on the top floor. If you get thirsty, there are five bars to choose from.
In short – if you’re looking for a night out where anything can happen and the music you mime to in front of the mirror and sing to in the shower, Golden Hits is the place for you. It’s unpretentious, messy, and a lot of fun.
