    An awesome place for old school games and old school rock and such. Not the cheapest but super full of (many) Japan-originating games. A lot of fun and recommended - but bring cash only for the slot machines and all! Highly recommended for fans if such kind of fun. Special mention and a must-play would be the Taiko no Tatsujin drums ;-)

    Very fun place, there is a pingpong table too but the highlight would be the awesome arcade games, you can even play the real drum set! 🥁

    I like the bar for the ambiance, the pool tables, the shuffleboards and all the weird Japanese arcade machines, but the renting price is the most stupid system I have ever seen. They are charging a base cost multiplied by the number of people. This mean a group of 4 will pay double the price of a group of 2 for the same equipment and same duration. To be clear, you do not get multiple tables or equipments. The 4 people still have to share a single table... But they pay 4 times the base cost.

    Cool place! Loud rock music in the speakers, pool tables, shuffle boards, a bar and a good amount of pinball machines and arcade games to play around with! What's not to like! Just remember to bring cash to exchange for tokens, as buying tokens with credit card is expensive...

    The only Arcade in Stockholm? I think it is. Some games are a bit short for the cost. But probably necessary to be able to have this great selection of games. Some really fun pinball machines and of course pool, shuffle board, ping pong and beer. Decent selection of beer and drinks. Will return.

    Tried to check outside to find a friend who was feeling sick and needed air, and the bouncer stopped me, said it was "illegal" for me to have my coke zero bottle outside and that I need to leave it inside, and actively blocked my way and prevented me from walking into the courtyard even when I explained the situation. I understand they have their reasons but they were unecessarily rude about it, especially considering the situation. Also they want people (women) to leave drinks unattended ??

    Amazing place for an afterwork hangout or any kind of group activity. A couple of shuffleboards, smth like 20 pool tables, ping-pong, many arcade machines as well (not a big fan tho). The bar menu is quite good as well. The music is a good old rock, can't be better. Booking system is available. You might also be checked for your bag content and asked to leave all the flasks and food at the guarded wardrobe. The place might get quite busy in the evenings, queues are quite common during the hot hours. Last but not least... One of the guards is a twin brother of Pavel Datsyuk, take my word!

    A nice hangout for weekdays and weekends. Usually a long waiting line before you can get in which is sometimes isn't nice but understandable for the current Covid situation. Place serves food and has lots of entertainment and games inside. Not many seating areas though considering the amount of people who are in.

    Had a grand time at Roq/Hej STHLM. Came for the arcade machines, but also had drinks, food, and generally enjoyed the vibes. It's a surprisingly long place, with the arcades all the way in the back. Good selection, a few fighting games, a few shooters and a big selection of Japanese rhythm games. Overall fun place, quick service from the staff, fun drink selection, food was alright pub grub. Towards the end it was difficult to find seating, so at peak hours, expect that! Were I to raise two challenges, the air conditioning in the back (particularly the dance room) needs cranked up a few notches. Was pretty warm and muggy there. And lastly, no lockers or cloakroom of any sort. When there are tons of activities, particularly arcade machines which you have to dedicate attention to and sometimes physically stand in, it sucks to have to place your bag down. Food for thought, Roq owners!

    Worst food i had in a long time. Do not eat here. Rock name, rock stuff, but no rock music. But the food did taste as much as cold rocks in a paper bag.

    Recommend the green machine vegan, really tasty and the fries were super good! Looking forward more vegan options.

    Great place! Such a nice idea to have the bar & arcade in same building, it was fun to have drinks while playing. Also a good amount of billiard tables and we never had to queue for one.

  • 4/5 Ivan Y. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a nice place! Lots of billiard tables and other expensive games. There is a bar as well. Friendly people and pretty popular. Good music rounds out this great place.

  • 5/5 Sam S. 8 months ago on Google
    Surprisingly huge selection of eclectic Japanese arcade games. Spacious bar and the only place open late on Mondays in Vasastan?! What a pleasant surprise.

  • 5/5 Magnus F. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic place if you wanna chill with friends! Lots of old pinball machines, pool tables and arcade machines both western and Japanese kinds. All machines use tokens you can exchange in the bar

  • 4/5 Lunar 1 year ago on Google
    Decent bar that serves food for a decent price, main reason i come here is for pool or the HEYSTHLM arcade in the back.

  • 5/5 Brent E. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool billiard and games bar with ping pong, shuffle board, pinball, and many nice billiard tables. Really cool and friendly staff and good food, though a bit pricey.

  • 4/5 Niclas A. 1 year ago on Google
    Kind of a hidden pearl in Stockholm, for lovers of Rock n Roll, and pool, and pinball, and arcadegames. The loud athmosphere with good rock’n’roll and arcade games, and the huge variety of people makes this place very fun!

  • 5/5 Matthew 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place, had a great time here with some friends. A decent selection of arcade games on offer here which were lots of fun, a lot of pool tables if you're into that too. The drinks weren't horribly priced given we're in Stockholm. If you're visiting and want somewhere to go absolutely give it a shot.

    Amazing bar with really good music for you who is tired of the basic stuff that every other pub plays, come here for some amazing and respectful people, amazing staff and good service a wide variety of different people come here aswell, highly recommended place.

    A nice place for pool and other arcade games! You need to show ID to get in. 5 stars because they have bishi bashi!! Friendly staff and security.

  • 5/5 Gustav N. 2 years ago on Google
    It is what it is. A simple bar with pool tables, shuffleboard, and old-school arcades (new machines). Don't expect fancy drinks or a wine list. It's a rock bar that plays nostalgic music, serves beer, and makes it easy to have a good time with friends or colleagues. And that's great.

    The kind people here retrieved our stuff that we lost while having fun in their amazing arcade area. 100% recommend!!
