Pelikan Beer Hall
Pelikan
Century-old beer hall in Södermalm, a local favorite for authentic Swedish home-style meatballs and herring.
Pelikan is at Blekingegatan 40 in Södermalm, a large beer hall dating back to 1904. Its high ceilings and Art Nouveau wooden interior remain intact, and the atmosphere is relaxed and informal. The menu centers on Swedish home cooking: handmade meatballs with cream sauce and lingonberries, pan-fried herring, pickled herring, veal liver, pork knuckle with root-vegetable mash, and for dessert, Småland cheesecake. Lunch is served on weekdays. Main courses cost about 200–350 Swedish kronor. Reservations are convenient but not required. It is about a 5-minute walk from Skanstull metro station.
Opening hours
Daily 11:30–01:00; weekday lunch 11:30–13:30
