For a hearty meal of meatballs and potatoes (washed down with the odd beer and some brännvin) head for Pelikan in Södermalm. This is an old beer hall with a 'gritty' Swedish feel, for when the charm and smarm of Östermalm (in the centre) takes it toll. Entertainment is occasionally provided in the form of an ageing madman who climbs a chair and starts lecturing the hall in (very loud) Swedish. You should not leave without dipping into the vast number of schnapps available!
