Cliff Barnes: Stockholm's Nightlife Done Right
Next time you find yourself in Stockholm, consider visiting one of my favorite bars in the world: Cliff Barnes. Now, I've been to a lot of bars in my day and I'm generally a person who's fonder of the the quieter, lounge types of establishments. Sure, I've been dragged to a few clubs, but dancing really isn't my forte.
Cliff Barnes is set up as a ski-lodge-esque sort of of drinking hall, with large dark tables, wooden trim and exotic wallpaper. When we got there at about 10:30, the line had just started and we could see the happy Swedes dining about their business within. Declining to check our coats on the way in, we were told by the bouncers "No, really. It'll get hot in there."
And hot it got. Milling about and enjoying the landscape at 11PM, the lights suddenly dropped and Also Sprach Zarathustra came on over the speakers. Followed by a five second pause. Followed by In The Navy. You get the picture. Not your average dance music by far, and therefore, outstanding. As you can probably guess, it didn't take long for the happy Swedes and Americans alike to get on the tables and start swinging things around.We later learned that Cliff Barnes was a recurring member of the telly show Dallas. A perfect name for a perfect bar.
Norrtullsgatan 45, 11345 Stockholm.
