Ugglan

An absolute gem! 🌮 If you love tacos, nachos, and a side of fun, this is the place to be! The tacos were bursting with flavor, the nachos were perfectly crispy and loaded with toppings, and to top it off, we got to play table tennis and pétanque while waiting for our food! 🎉

We had so much fun here! Came for a company dinner from out of the country. Sebastian was great at communicating and answering all of our questions via email. They had a taco bar, all you can eat. Delicious!

One of the funniest places in Stockholm! Lots of games, nice food and open bar. Very original, one of a kind

An absolute gaming place. All kinds of games and food. It was so much fun playing shuffleboard. Good place for team activities

Great place for a night out with the crew (work, friends or family). Buffet is very good with a variety of food, including vegan options and the selection at the bar is above average. The atmosphere is one of the best I've experienced and there is a variety of games available. Boardgames, pinball, shuffleboard or table tennis, with regular tournaments for those that want a challenge. Highly recommended and well worth the distance from public transportation.

This was a fun concept and suited this rainy day well, easy to order, lovely atmosphere and an exciting slightly Berlin-like environment, with fun innovative interior design in one of Söder's better neighborhoods. The only negative thing I can think of is a fairly high noise level in the arcade and close between Boulé lanes and pool tables. But we had great fun and it suited us as we were celebrating a friend and wanted to avoid the rain, we diddent eat, just cava but the bufe seams to be ok/ thank you Ugglan

This place is so amazing! Started our night here on a Saturday night. Such a cool hang out spot. All sorts of games: shuffleboard, billiards, ping pong etc. The beer is also good. There are plenty of bathrooms and the general vibe is very laid back and very cool. There was a small cover charge at the door but with the price of the cover charge you also get a raffle ticket for a milkshake which I thought was super cool. All the staff were exceptionally friendly.

The place is nice, spacious and priced reasonably. We came as a group of 4, and we had a beer each and the game card for 5 games. But the fact that you need to pay entrance fee for a pub is too much. Three stars, hoping that this changes in the future.

THIS HOPPING JOINT DESERVES A 10 STAR RATING!! A perfect late night spot to hang with your squad. The list of what to love: - it's underground! No seriously people it's UNDER THE GROUND with doorways that have been carved thru the concrete walls. Epic! - lawn bowling - ping pong - knock out ping pong - pinball machines - shuffleboard - multi colored disco lights - hipster vibe - kicking tunes - alcoholic drinks - appetizers - upbeat staff The list of what NOT to love - Nada. Zilch. Absolutely nothing. We had so much fun playing shuffleboard, jamming to some tunes and even playing a few rounds of knock out ping pong with the locals. No one is a stranger here. Heck, I even bought a shirt. Lol Bring Ugglan to the US!

WARNING: Not what it used to be. :( They say don't be afraid of change. Change is good. But change can also be bad. And I'm afraid my beloved Owl is not the same. I used to adore Ugglan (The Owl). But I hadn't been for a year, and when I went back this time I was shocked to see how it has altered. For one thing, even though we went at 6pm, we were charged 50kr to get in. I've heard that it's normal to pay after 6 or 7 there, but I've never had to pay that early before. The guard - who was smoking the entire time - was also rather rude to us, and searched our bags and confiscated my friend's Loka water bottle 'because alcohol isn't allowed'. But whatever, we paid and surrendered our water bottles and embarked down the seedy, metal, industrial-looking stairway. That's one thing I liked and still do like about this place: the weird industrial look. You feel like you're going down into some secret lab, except it looks more like a dirty alley. And yet somehow it's awesome! Although, the metal grate stairs are pretty damn scary to walk down when you're wearing heels. Anyway. Ugglan is known for pingis - the Swedish cutesy term for ping-pong. It is also now the only game you can play for free. In one room there is a ping-pong table, and whoever wants to joins in for 'around the world' ping-pong, hitting the ball once and continuing to run around in a circle. It's a lot of fun really, and a nice way to start interacting with some Swedes! However, all of the other times I have been here in the past, you were allowed to play other games too. The game room was unsupervised and you could put in a few coins to play air hockey, or play around with boule or darts of your own accord. Not so anymore! You have to pay to get into the games room and participate in any such frivolities. The girl in the cash register made a big deal about how if we kept our receipts from the entrance fee, then we would get a discount on the games. Wait, what? So, if you pay the mandatory entrance fee, you get a discount on games? But you can't get in without paying the fee, which means you couldn't play games anyway....so....basically...there is no discount. The discount is a lie. Downstairs used to also have dirt floors (a lot of it, at least) and plenty of sofas. Now the entire place has hardwood floors and the cozy sofas have been replaced with weird hard chairs and low tables. Bleh. The reason it still gets three stars from me is that it's still cool and still fun. But the service is worse and the prices are high, and it's not as cool as it was. Very sad!

Best bar and best nachos in all of Sweden! Coming from an American from SoCal, you can not miss this place. The best!

Really fun, extensive underground bar. I enjoyed a few glasses of champagne and people-watched the groups playing ping-pong and bocce. This would be a super-fun place to come with a group before or after dinner. We were here in late September 2015 on a weekday evening, and did not have to pay any cover charge. Recommended.

Popular place with fun atmosphere and a lot of game/activities. 50SEK entrance for which you get nothing. Food is mediocre at best, you shouldn't eat here. We had IPA on draft and it was the worst I have ever had and we couldn't finish them. Bottle beer selection is terrible. You shouldn't come here for good beer. Games are ridiculously over priced. Find a good bar with good beer, decent food and some games and you'll get a lot more for your money. If you want to play "rundpingis" (group ping pong) then you should come here. For food, Beer or other games try your luck elsewhere.

An underground playground for grown-ups located in a basement on Södermalm. I have only been here once, but i was surprised about the outcome. I didnt know what to expect since i heard so much about it. But once i strolled down the stairs, i was met by a spartan like venue starting with a bar. Further more they inhoused a couple of tables for dining, a ping-pong table, shuffleboards and boule courts. It was a lot of games going on everywhere, and you can easily spend a night here doing something unusual for a change. Although theres a lot of going on here, the atmosphere is pretty chill. So I wouldnt go here to start of a night, i would go here to spend the night. Place is very casual so you dont have to dress up to feel comfy. They do charge pretty well for the shuffleboards, but i donno about the other activities. My guess is that they run a pretty healthy business with no further financial issues. If you are a big kid who never grew up, or just a kid that wanna go big for a night, this is probably heaven for you!

Fantastic. I came here for a night out with some friends from work and had such a great time! Quirky little place underground filled with games like air hockey and pool, 80s arcade games and more. There is an entrance fee after around 6/7 for about 50kr but well worth it. Good selection of different beers (no Falcon in sight) and the food is very nice too. I had the pulled pork which tasted fresh, served with a range of sauces and extras. Once this place fills with people, there is a Ping Pong table which everyone circles around and places a group game. Get a bat and join in but there are some great players so bring your 'A' game! Overall, fantastic after work venue for those looking for drinks or a great night out. Ugglan has everything to keep you there till it closes. Just amazing!

The things I don't like about this place, outnumber the things I do but it's still a pretty unique mix-up to your average night out at a bar. There are plenty of games around the place, and while it can be pretty busy things tend to free up pretty quickly. You know it's not going to be anything typical from the moment you get to the seedy stairway into the basement and take a look at the garage bar setup. They do have a decent selection of beer at standard Söder prices. That being said, this place also kind of sucks. It's stupid expensive for boule, which isn't exactly a riveting game to play or costly game to run. If you're thinking about the space it takes to play, then realize that no less than 10 people that you didn't come with will be standing in the sand pit with you and probably tripping over the balls you are throwing or wandering aimlessly in front of people about to throw a solid metal ball at them. Let's not talk about the dart board setup, which is actually over one of the ball pits. The boule room is also hot as hell so make sure you can strip down to loose clothing. The line to get a beer, or coins to play the games from a credit card purchase has to be done up front and takes 10 minutes. 10 minutes to get a beer, that's really weak. As the night goes on you will also get a sweet whiff of some serious body odor from everyone around you in line since everyone is sweating their ass off in this non-ventilated mine-shaft. The desk to get darts/boule balls/etc is also a total cluster $@% and can also take forever to navigate. Hipsters come to this bar in droves though so be prepared to see Stockholm's finest sitting around the board game tables showing off their coolest tattoo's and gangster caps. Don't be the fool that comes late and stands in a queue to pay a cover charge to enter a BAR, though. Like I said, I don't like this place, but it still deserves a good rating and is a good spot to have on the map for Stockholm. Go with a good sized group and enjoy the good parts!

Don't bother going if you're not Swedish. I'm so disappointed at what could have been an amazing night that turned into barely an hour because the staff was just so rude. There's a sign before the entrance that read something like "you are now leaving the American sector" but unfortunately I didn't pay it much attention. When we entered, no one explained to us how the games worked or where we could pay for them, so we started playing shuffleboard before we were reprimanded and told if we wanted to play we had to pay at the bar. The staff refused to speak English to us until we asked them if they could speak English several times and they eventually answered (in perfect English). My friend was going to order a drink but didn't even want to because they were so rude. We played about an hour of shuffleboard because they told us we had to play by the hour (actually not true, found that out when paying) before scrambling out of there, despite the many games we still wanted to play. We were the only non-Swedes in the place and everyone looked at us like we were aliens. I really wish we had a different experience because it looked like so much fun!!

Only had some beer, which was good lager, but nothing exceptional. The gritty basement local with pinball and ping pong make it fun though.

Awesome place! I went there for an afterwork with some colleagues and we had so much fun. Good choice of beer and food, either fast food or even buffet. There are big tables where you can sit if you want to take the time to eat. Then you can go play basically anything you want. We played shuffleboard, fussball, packman on arcade, flipper, air hockey (man I loved that one!), billiard and ping-pong. It's really different than just going to a normal bar, sitting around and having a drink.
