Gay Bars in Stockholm

Due to the anti-alcoholic politics in Sweden there are no pure bars as we know them in most other Western countries. You'll find them combined with a restaurant or included in a club. If you like going to bars primarily for socialising you can also go to one of Stockholm's many cafes.
