Tucked on Brahegatan in Östermalm, Tyge & Sessil is Niklas Ekstedt’s intimate wine bar where natural wines take center stage. Skip the fancy cocktail spots and come here for a curated selection from small producers—think cloudy pét-nats, rare grapes, and bottles you won’t find elsewhere. The no-reservation policy means it’s best for spontaneous visits, especially on weeknights when it’s quieter.
Natural wines and cozy vibes in Östermalm
Tyge & Sessil is the kind of wine bar you’ll stumble upon and immediately want to make a regular spot. Niklas Ekstedt’s vision shines through in the carefully curated list of natural wines—many from tiny producers in overlooked regions, some cloudy and funky, others crystal clear and familiar. The food menu changes daily, but expect simple, high-quality bites that pair beautifully with the wines. The staff, led by sommelier Linnea Gustafsson, are passionate without being pretentious, happy to guide you through the list or just pour your favorite glass.
The vibe is cozy and unpretentious, with a crowd that’s mostly locals and wine enthusiasts who know what they’re looking for. It’s cashless and takes no reservations, so just show up—ideally around 6 PM to beat the rush. Weeknights are quieter and more relaxed, while weekends can get lively. If you’re into exploring new wines or just want a genuine Stockholm wine bar experience away from the tourist traps, this is it.
