Bar Nacka is Södermalm's secret weapon for serious wine lovers who also want great pizza. Sommelier Anton Hansson transformed this former pizza spot into a wine mecca with a list that's genuinely extraordinary—pages of rare Bordeaux, Jura, and Italian wines at shockingly low mark-ups. The atmosphere is intimate and unpretentious, perfect for diving into a new bottle while grazing on their wood-fired pizzas and small plates. This isn't your typical bar scene; it's a proper wine bar where the staff actually knows their stuff and will happily guide you through their extensive collection. Go on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening when it's quieter, or grab a Saturday afternoon slot for a more relaxed vibe.
A wine lover's dream on Södermalm
Bar Nacka is the kind of place that makes you want to move to Södermalm just to be closer to it. Anton Hansson, a sommelier with serious credentials from Grand Hôtel and Bistro Mirabelle, has created something truly special here—a wine bar that doesn't take itself too seriously but takes the wine incredibly seriously. The list is mind-blowing: pages and pages of rare bottles from Bordeaux, Jura, and Italy, all marked up so reasonably you'll wonder if there's a catch (there isn't).
The space itself is cozy and unpretentious, with warm lighting and enough room to actually have a conversation. The pizza is excellent—simple, well-executed, and perfect for sharing while you explore the wine list. Staff are knowledgeable without being snobbish, happy to recommend something obscure if you're feeling adventurous or stick to classics if that's your thing. It's become a local favorite for good reason, and the multiple Star Wine List awards speak for themselves.
My advice? Come hungry, come curious, and don't be afraid to ask questions. This is the kind of place where you'll leave with a new favorite wine and a genuine connection to the people behind the bar.
