About Andra Hem
The name is Swedish for 'second home', and the drinks follow the theme, with a menu section titled Skåne and spirits washed with unexpected flavours; a gochujang-washed pour is one reviewers remember. Downstairs is walk-in: a narrow bar under patterned wallpaper, backlit shelves and brass stools. Upstairs, reserved tables fill a mustard-yellow room with a coffered ceiling and striped globe lamps. Snacks run to smoked fish on toast, crudités and pickles, and the pickles get their own praise. It opens Wednesday to Saturday from 5 PM, closing at 11 PM midweek and midnight Thursday through Saturday; Sunday to Tuesday it is shut. Google reviewers give it 4.7 stars, mostly for inventive, well-balanced drinks and knowledgeable, unpretentious bartenders, and several note that prices stay reasonable for the ambition. The complaints are small: slow service on busy nights and a split layout that suits one or two rounds more than a whole evening.
