Papillon
Norrmalm, Stockholm
Bar in Stockholm, Sweden
Why go
Book Papillon when the night needs cocktails, food, a polished Stockholm room that can stretch from early drinks into a later evening. It is strongest for small groups, date-night drinks, hotel-adjacent plans where a full menu matters as much as the bar program. Skip it if you want a specialist counter experience or a chef-led destination meal.
About Papillon
For a Stockholm plan where the practical details matter, Papillon is easiest to judge on the basics: the listed price is $40 per person, the dress code is smart casual, the venue is open daily with late closing times. It also has confirmed White Guide Sweden Bars - Very Fine Level recognition for 2026.
Specifics such as menu style, signature drinks, seating format, or service details should be checked directly with the venue before building a plan around them.
A Stockholm venue with late opening hours
Papillon’s hours make it a flexible option across the week. It opens at 11 AM daily and closes at 12 AM on Monday, Tuesday, Sunday, with a 1 AM closing time from Wednesday through Saturday.
The confirmed dress code is smart casual, so the safest approach is polished but not overly formal. If your plans depend on a particular atmosphere, table setup, or service format, confirm those details with Papillon before you go.
Plan around the confirmed price and recognition
The price is $40 per person. That gives a useful baseline for deciding whether Papillon fits your Stockholm itinerary, but it should not be treated as a guarantee of what any individual order or final bill will cost.
Papillon is also listed in White Guide Sweden Bars at the Very Fine Level for 2026. Beyond that confirmed recognition, avoid assuming specific drinks, food, or program details unless the venue confirms them directly.
Who should choose it, who should skip it
Choose Papillon if you want a Stockholm venue with smart-casual expectations, a $40-per-person listed price, late hours that can work for evening plans.

Bar context
How Papillon compares in central Stockholm
Choose Papillon when the brief is flexible and central. Compared with Le Hibou and Cadier Bar, it is the less formal call: better for a loose evening where the group may move on, weaker for anyone who wants a hotel-bar setting or a more polished occasion feel.
Bar Arsenalen is the closer cross-shop if staying around the same part of the city matters. Pick Bar Arsenalen when the group wants a clearer nearby alternative; keep Papillon for a date or smaller party where easy logistics and late-evening flexibility are the point.
Sophie's and Nobis Hotel Stockholm are stronger fallbacks for readers who want a more defined setting before committing. Papillon is the practical choice when booking pressure is low and the night is meant to stay casual rather than locked into a destination plan.
