About this place Operabaren

Operabaren is the brasserie and bar inside the Royal Swedish Opera building at Jakobsgatan 12, facing Kungsträdgården. It opened in 1905, and the Art Nouveau interior, with dark wood, stained glass and brass, is the main reason to go. The menu sticks to classic Swedish dishes. It is a mainstream gay-friendly place, not a gay venue. Prices are high and it has a 4.5 rating from about 360 Google reviews. Service gets more praise than the food. A drink at the bar is the easy way to see the room, and a pre-opera dinner is the classic visit.
