Glenn Miller Café

Don’t be fooled by what you see on social media, the place is way smaller and claustrophobic than they make it look.

I wonder what people enjoy most when they come here: the money-hungry staff? the bland fingernail-sized mussels? or the claustrophobic space? Overall, the fact that this place has 4.5 stars makes me lose all faith in Google rating system. Come at your own peril.

Delicious mussels and so many different flavours to choose from! The Provonçale is really good and so is the Chilli with a kick as it should have. Great place to enjoy live jazz music. Quite small and intimate and a bit of squeeze but it only adds to the atmosphere.

Lovely jazz and north-France atmosphere. Jazz is the main actor, a great food selection (must try: moules with fries and a good beer) is a great accompaniment. Book in advance as there are just few tables, which also make the GMC super cozy and typical. Recommended!!

Cool cozy jazz bar also offer food. Very fully booked if you look online (think that’s for food only) but we walk in and they let us in to enjoy the music. Friday night a lot more people came in later after 9:30pm. Friendly vibe and should give it a try!

Great atmosphere and service. Spent two fantastic evenings there on my short trip to Stockholm. If you are a jazz fan, a must visit.

This place came with good food, great service and musicians that excelled in their music. Such a wonderful place to visit. The only minus is that the place is tiny and you have little room around you when sitting and eating. But it should be said that it also gives the place its cosy, intimit feeling.

Very small run down jazz venue with about 20 seats. Beware if you are attending during the summer months there is NO airconditioning so it is very hot and stuffy. Drinks were good and french bistro fare was servicable. I would recommend skipping the food. Great local jazz music. Stop at the ATM because the music fee is 50 sek per person per set - cash ONLY. A pretty good deal to hear 40 minutes of jazz for the equivalent of $11.25 USD. (You can pay for drinks and food with Mastercard or Visa.

This place is like something out of a book. It's cool, nicely lit, intimate, hot and unique. All that was missing for the full look was the cloud of smoke in the air! It was jam packed here so we had to stand at the bar which was uncomfortably snug and the heat was insane but I imagine that if you came here with a reservation the atmosphere would be great. They have live music here most nights and you pay a small fee of 40k after each set. I have heard however that the place is closing in months time, end of June. So come here before you miss your chance, an while your at it try there chocolate cake! It's incredible! -1 star for the heat, really need air conditioning, or open a door.

I moved to Stockholm last Saturday. By Wednesday night, I'd already found the best jazz venue in Stockholm. This place blew my socks off. Totally hidden in a very central part of Stockholm, the Glenn Miller Cafe is a total gem of a jazz establishment. I felt like I walked into an eastern European, jazz bar circa 1930. The venue is small and is a restaurant/bar. The ceilings are high, the decor is inspired, the owners are wonderful. I'm convinced it's the best venue in which to see a local jazz trio. And a great one at that. When I came on Wednesday, a local scando-jazz quartet completely inspired me with some amazing jazz. Very outside, extreme jazz. Mindblowing jazz. I was totally surprised by the level of music that was being played. Reminiscent of Ornette Coleman at the Golden Circle here in Stockholm 40 years ago It was crowded. We managed a table off to the side. So if you don't like small crowded places, reconsider. However, the crowd makes the place and adds to the energy. The beer and wine was flowing. The crowd was a local, loyal group of jazz enthusiasts of all ages. Everyone was into the music. The energy was awesome. Ohand no cover. Someone comes around with a donation basket and you're free to give as much as you want. Unreal. I will definitely be a regular here.

I didn't love this place. I might give it another chance but not of my own motivation. The atmosphere is nice. Small, and intimate but with a relaxed dive sort of feel. But when I went it was just some "kids" (20ish) playing and for that they charge a 50r minimum "donation" for each set (which is about 15-20 minutes). It wasn't a great experience, really. I'm all for supporting starving artists and everything but knowing that I needed to ante up another 50kr every time they started playing kind of took the joy and mood out of it for me. Rather pay up front and relax then be constantly harassed for money and continuously evaluate whether staying is worth it. Yeah, come to think of it, I wouldn't return.

Woohoo! Glenn Miller Café is a small cafe, but the food and the music is fabulous! Very cosy and intimate and with very helpful and fun waiters. A bit crowdy on a Saturday evening, so remember to book a table in advance, if possible. We had excellent Moules/Frites a la creme. Prices are OK for Stockholm. September 2015!
