Big techno/house club open late. I'd describe the vibe as 'wants to be Berlin'. A Stockholm institution, used to be pretty alternative but has become pretty mainstream nowadays.

Fun bar with really crazy Christmas (and I think Halloween) decorations that they keep up for a big chunk of the year. Worth going just for the decor. Also serves food (it's fine but don't come just for the food though).

Verkstadsgatan
VerkstadsgatanThere's 2 places here that can fix clothes, shoes, and do dry cleaning.
If you want to buy alcohol (except in bars/restaurants), you need to go to Systembolaget, the government-owned liquor store. This is the closest one to the apartment, but there's usually one by each subway stop. Note that it closes at 7pm on weekdays, 3pm on Saturdays, and is closed on Sundays, so stock up.

Old classic Swedish bistro (think wood panels, paintings, thick-skinned women working the bar). They have special prices for wine and food if you sit at the bar, including Stockholm's cheapest oysters (12 SEK each). Book a dinner table or sit at the bar, they specialize in Swedish and French cuisine, especially seafood. Also worth going just for drinks. The last Monday of the month they do live jazz music from 5.30pm, they also do live opera(!) for 10–15 minutes starting at 8.30pm each Saturday.

Photography museum. This is a popular tourist attraction, but I personally don't recommend going. It's expensive for a Stockholm museum (many are free) and mostly shows commercial photos that you see everywhere already.

The primary symphony hall of Stockholm. The place itself isn't exactly a sight to see, but I think the quality of the concerts is usually good. They have a lot of different concerts, check their website.

The Royal Dramatic Theatre is a very beautiful building and keeps high quality. Recommended if you enjoy theatre, but check online beforehand as very few plays will likely be in English. Either way, the building is worth passing by to look at, plus they have a terrace bar with a great view.
