I went out last Saturday and found myself wandering around the pleasant city centre - aimlessly looking for something to take me by surprise. When I came to the Berzelii Park, I entered the China Theatre and discovered a nightclub!
The China Theatre is an impressive venue, and was originally unveiled as a cinema in 1928. Architect Albin Stark drew inspiration from his recent trip to China, hence the name I guess. Anyway, today the place is mostly used for concerts, shows, musicals and so on. In other words, if you want to hit a movie, this is not the place nowadays! I found a long queue outside, and a nightclub inside - which made me feel both happy and uninformed all at once. The latter feeling however faded after about a minute. The club for the evening was called Pom-Pom. I reckoned I fit in perfectly in my disco ball outfit. Other nights at the China Theatre you can find clubs such as Raw Fusion and Hanoi by night! If you’re coming to Stockholm looking for a place with an East-Asian club feel to it, look no further. This is definitely where I’ll be going every time I feel this urge anyway. Well, that was all for now.
Party on.

More exciting club news to report! As it’s finally half-way through May, lots of clubs have now opened up their outdoor seating, which is nothing short of absolutely fab!
This past week I’ve visited both Sturecompagniet and their outdoor area Utecompagniet as well as Debaser Slussen. As always, great! At Utecompagniet my friends and I had a chilled glass of white wine (or two, or three) and spent the evening checking out all the fancy people and celebrities around us. It’s located right in the heart of Stureplan, so if you get cold or feel like going somewhere else there are tons of clubs around to choose from! At Debaser most people opt for beer, though they do have some pretty amazing frozen drinks. I say try them all! We came early for once and enjoyed a gazpacho appetizer with our drinks while the sun was warming our faces. There can be a long line to get in at Debaser between the clubbing peak hours of 10 pm to 2 am. If you want to catch the live gigs at, it is usually a good idea to come a little earlier. World famous rock bands of all sorts come here to play, making it a great venue to discover new acts. Now you don’t want to miss out on that right?
Toodles!

Time again with a little report from the dancing disco ball. This week I’m pleased to tell you that I have been shaking my stuff at the popular boat Patricia. This place is a different club each time I go, so for safety I went 3 days in a row.
I didn’t want to miss a good night, so that’s actually the real reason I went to Patricia 3 times in a row. I guess that is kind of special, but I’m a special girl. The theme for the weekend was Heaven and Hell, prompting people to show up sporting a nice outfit of being either good or bad. I turned up in my disco ball of course, what would you have expected? The music they play is a mixture between all sorts of styles, but generally the latest from disco, party, R&B, and so on. In other words, once you’re on the dance floor there’s hardly a second of standing still. Sunday is gay night as always at Patricia. These nights are exceptionally great if you’re looking for a nightclub with a jam-packed dance floor. Other times they throw all sorts of themed parties: Miami Beach, Pirate, and whatever else fits the bill for a disco-throbbing boat in the middle of town.
That’s all for now,

Well I’ve been so busy I’m not sure how to fit it all into this entry, but I’ll give it my best shot. First there were all those things I did, and then all the stuff that I’m going to do! Stockholm is one busy city I must confess!
So I went to the fashionable Spy Bar the other day. The queue was as always a little longer than I’d hoped, then again – I always show up late. The doormen always let their favourite disco ball pass through though. Inside the crowd was loud and enjoying themselves, and all in all it’s still an exceptionally good place to party. Another place I’ve recently discovered is the upstairs floor of the restaurant Landet. A little ride outside of the city centre, but well worth it – this scene offers great clubs, and the occasional live gig from both well-known acts as well as the bright future of tomorrow. Apart from the usual nightclubs, I’ve also found that my disco ball costume is a big hit at several of the great bars around town. Had a few drinks with some friends the other day, and I was the centre of all attention. We managed to cover the rounds at Scandic Anglais, East, and Riche in all but one single evening! Try to beat that if you can. If you want to know what’s going on in town, I found a great place to keep track. Click here and see for yourself.
Life’s a party,

Hey everyone. This time round I thought I’d reveal some information on where to go in the near future. That is, if you’re in Stockholm and you want to party - because the club scene is bustling with activity!
Now, there are a whole lot of things happening on the club scene in town, most notably some new places have appeared. First there’s the revamped Hell’s Kitchen that has replaced the former resident in the same house at Stureplan, (also called kitchen, but in the less cool Swedish way: “Köket”.) Next door, a brand new concept called Neu has opened. This nightclub promises to offer great service, and claim they don’t have any dance floors. I know for a fact that this is not the case, dancing was fully possible and I did it in style. Anyway, with the spring finally here, it’s only a matter of time until the weather allows for all those great outdoor nightclubs. And if outdoors is what you like, I can warmly recommend Debaser where one can also warm to indoor concerts. Apart from that, I guess it’s the usual trade for now. I’m off to a friend’s club at Spy Bar, I’ll let you know all about that next time!
Keep spinning,

Get ready to roll! Your favourite meatball impersonated is back with another report on eating, drinking, and enjoying life in the wonderful city of Stockholm. This time I can also reveal the true story behind Sven’s latest blog entry.
So I see Sven decided to comment on how he ruined my dinner the other day. There I was, enjoying a fantastic meal at F12, savouring the amazing flavours of my beef carpaccio with artichoke starter – when that fool comes singing and dancing down the street. You should really get a glance of the guy when he swings around the lampposts, it’s as if he thinks it’s musical-day, every day. And then he sits down, talking and talking about singing and dancing. It’s as if he doesn’t understand that I mainly participated due to the incredible possibility to star as a life-size meatball. Oh well, the food WAS excellent I have to say. After that I tried all sorts of excuses but he wouldn’t have any of it, so I agreed to have a drink with him at Café Opera. Next time I’ll make sure to eat at a place where he cannot find me. I’ll let you all know how it proceeds.

So here it is, my first entry in the blog. As you may know, it has fallen upon me to convince you to come to Stockholm. So the problem is of course, where among all the fantastic things do I begin?
Since playing the lead part in the musical (much to
Mr Meatball’s distress) I have continued to swing along the lampposts of Stockholm. Every once in a while I stumble upon something new, and that’s what I expect I’ll be telling you all about here. The romantic dark winter has just passed, and now that spring has its firm grip on the city, you can rely upon swinging reports from singing Sven. The snow has melted, and blondes are appearing all over the place! And on that very note, I’m off in this instant to the wonderful
SkyBar at the Radisson SAS Royal Viking Hotel for drinks and a panoramic sunset view. I’ll make sure to give you the low-down on that experience the next time I write you.
Until then, have an equally fantastic time as I will!
Regards,
Sven
