Crispy leaves rustle at our feet and the first fresher winds are announcing that winter is coming soon. Life starts retracting indoors, but not only homewards… This is also a time for indoor music and film festivals, dining out at cozy restaurants or attending fairs like the Baking and Chocolate Fair. Oh yes, this is also the time we like to dress up like ghosts and pumpkins and go trick-or-treating. Let us guide you to some of this months event highlights, things to see and do in Stockholm.

Chelas – There’s a New Mexican in Town
Located at the trendy Hornstull neighbourhood of Södermalm, at Verkstadsgatan 4, you’ll find Chelas, Stockholm’s newest Mexican restaurant. Chelas opened its doors in July of 2019. The name comes from the Mexican slang word for beers and a phrase the Mexicans use when they want to socialise with friends and family: “Saca las chelas”. Literally translated it means “Bring out the beers”, but it can actually be better interpreted as “Let’s have some beers and hang out”.
The wine culture in Sweden is expanding, especially with the increase of vineyards in Skåne in the south of the country. In fact, 42% of all alcohol sales in Sweden consist of wine, and this is very different from brännvin, the traditional Swedish drink that translates as burn-wine. You can of course buy wine from the state owned Systembolaget. However, the only other place that you can buy wine and enjoy a glass is in licenced restaurants and bars that serve food. There are some great restaurants in Stockholm that unite their food and wine menu in perfect harmony, taking equal consideration to both.

Film Club Moderna Museet: Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami
Moderna MuseetExercisplan 4, 111 49 Stockholm, SwedenWelcome to The Film Club and the screening of Sophie Fiennes’ film Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami (2017). Director talk and party after the screening. In collaboration with CinemAfrica.
Grace Jones is a style icon and a living legend on the club scene and in popular culture. Sophie Fiennes’ intimate portrayal follows the star in the process of recording a new album, with material based on personal experiences. Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami challenges the documentary tradition that has generated countless one-dimensional mythologising portraits of women artists. Fiennes cuts from glamorous stage performances in New York and Paris, to informal chats with friends and family on Jamaica, and brings the audience closer to the human being Grace Jones.
Film starts: at 18
Duration: 115 min
Location: the Auditorium, floor 2
Language: English and French, Swedish subtitles
Tickets: 130 kr (screening and party)
The Film Bar outside the Auditorium is open from 17.30.After the screening, there will be a talk with the director, Sophie Fiennes, followed by a party in tribute to Grace Jones, featuring ImOnARoof, at 20–00 in the Restaurant and Bar.

John Digweed needs no introduction, the master of the art and world renowned superstar, this is sure to be as spectacular as two years ago. From early beginnings in the blossoming scene of acid house to the apex of the international DJ’ing world, John has never struggled to maintain his longstanding presence in underground music culture. It gives us huge pleasure to invite him back to the club…
