Review of Cadierbaren – by Francisca S.

We had spent the evening at a large gathering in the Winter Garden and arrived around 00.10 at the Cardier Bar. Here it is announced that the bar will close shortly. We order drinks for our friends who are on their way with our jackets and bags from Grands Vinterträdgård. There is one possibly two more guests in the section we are sitting. Mats Eden, one of Sweden's finest fiddlers, is asked by us to play a card on his fiddle. Weakly. He is asked to stop because he is disturbing the others. My friend is refused entry when she arrives with our bags and jackets even though a drink is ordered. It's not 1:00 a.m. yet. She goes in and the Head Waiter follows and scolds her. "What was it that you didn't understand?" We are all dressed for the occasion and in a good mood and calm, we are only 6 people in the party, two of us are celebrating their wedding anniversary. The waiter continues in a rude tone to explain that the staff are taking buses home and he is also taking them and that they want to finish work on time. It is not yet 1:00 a.m.
A thoroughly unpleasant experience to which we never return. The way you imagine Stockholm can be when it's at its worst. And we love Stockholm.

Should be added that when we e-mail, we get a kind of apology from the bar manager but no party that can make us come back.
