Our name originates from the Dutchman Fredrik Reiss who ran a semi-legal coffeehouse in the 1750s. Since then, the building has been used as storehouse, drinking den and an epicentre for some of the most prominent poets and writers in European history. 

At the end of the 1800s, our restaurant served a smörgårsbord with salmon and mayonnaise, chicken and asparagus and Glace au Caramel.

Today, timeless local delicacies are served in style, with views over the water towards Skeppsholmen. Classic Swedish dishes with our modern touch deliver mouth-watering meals to locals and guests from across the world.

Dine with us as many have done so over the past hundreds of years.

Overlooking the scenic waterfront, you’ll find Bar Reiss. It’s a friendly hangout with a mixed crowd, a natural rendezvous you’ll want to visit whether you live within walking distance or stay in town for the weekend.

The airy ambience, comfy chairs and a relaxed, homey atmosphere create the perfect backdrop, whether you’re meeting an old friend for coffee or planning for a night out. 

The bar gets its name from the historic ship S/S Per Brahe, the interior of which lines our chambré and salôn conference facilities adjoining the bar. 

Here you can enjoy crafted cocktails and on Thursday & Friday evenings we invite famous and upcoming musicians to fill the venue with groovy live jazz, starting at 19:30.
