Award-winning bartender Johan Evers and the team behind A Bar Called Gemma have opened Jokes Aside in Stockholm—a stylish new cocktail bar combining Scandinavian design, local ingredients and world-class mixology.
One of Sweden's most acclaimed bar teams has unveiled its latest venture. Jokes Aside, a new cocktail bar founded by award-winning bartender Johan Evers, officially opens today in Stockholm.
The venue brings together world-class cocktail craftsmanship, playful creativity and Scandinavian design in a relaxed yet ambitious setting. Evers, together with the team behind the celebrated A Bar Called Gemma, aims to create a bar that is as much a social meeting place as it is a destination for exceptional drinks.
The cocktail menu features a curated selection of signature serves alongside timeless classics, drawing inspiration from global flavours while highlighting seasonal Swedish ingredients. An evolving menu of bar snacks complements the drinks, reflecting the same spirit of curiosity and craftsmanship.
Designed in collaboration with Swedish furniture maker VERK, the interiors place a strong emphasis on locally sourced materials and craftsmanship, combining contemporary design with a commitment to sustainability and Swedish manufacturing.
