Solidaritet
Solidaritet operates in a basement space at Lästmakargatan 3, just off the Stureplan square, offering a deliberately raw counterpoint to the polished clubs above ground. The venue opened in the early 2010s as an underground electronic music space and has maintained its focus on house, techno, and disco through rotating DJ residencies and international bookings. Capacity sits around 400, spread across a single room with exposed brick walls, industrial lighting, and a sound system that punches well above the venue's modest size. The dance floor is the centerpiece, with the DJ booth positioned at eye level rather than elevated, creating a connection between performer and crowd that bigger venues sacrifice for spectacle. Solidaritet attracts Stockholm's electronic music enthusiasts: people who come to dance rather than to be seen. The dress code reflects this, leaning casual compared to the jacket-and-shirt norm at street level above.
What to Expect
You descend a staircase from street level into a low-ceilinged basement that smells faintly of concrete and old wood. The transition from Stureplan's glossy surface to this raw underground space is immediate and deliberate. The music hits you before you see the room properly. Dark, warm, and focused on the DJ and the dance floor.
Underground, sweaty, and music-first. The small room, low ceiling, and quality sound system create an intensity that bigger clubs dilute. More Berlin basement than Stockholm penthouse.
House, techno, disco, and nu-disco. Programming favors deeper, more melodic sounds over hard techno. International guest DJs appear monthly alongside Stockholm-based residents.
Casual. Sneakers, dark jeans, and a t-shirt fit right in. This is the one Stureplan-adjacent venue where overdressing marks you as lost. Comfort over style, because you're here to dance.
Electronic music fans who want quality DJs and a real dance floor without bottle service culture. Night owls who need a venue that stays open past 3 AM. Anyone looking for Stureplan's underground alternative.
Cards and contactless. Swish accepted. The bar is straightforward with fast service.

Insider Tip
Check the lineup before going. The experience depends entirely on who's DJing. Solidaritet's Instagram and Facebook announce weekly programming. The 5 AM license makes this one of the last venues standing on a Stockholm night.
Full Review
Solidaritet exists because someone looked at Stureplan and thought: what if we did the opposite? Below the champagne-and-chandelier circuit at street level, this basement club strips nightlife back to its fundamentals. A room, a sound system, a DJ, and people who want to dance. No VIP tables, no bottle service, no door policy based on your shoes.
The sound system is the venue's best asset. For a room this size, the clarity and depth are remarkable. You feel the bass in your chest without the distortion that plagues larger spaces trying to fill volume. The DJ booth sits at floor level, which means you can stand three feet from the decks and watch the mixer work. On a good night with the right DJ, this creates an energy exchange between performer and crowd that Sturecompagniet's elevated DJ booth physically prevents.
The crowd is self-selecting. People come here because they know who's playing, not because they saw a queue and joined it. Conversations between strangers happen naturally because the shared interest in the music provides immediate common ground. The vibe is friendly and unpretentious in a way that Stureplan's street-level venues simply aren't.
The 5 AM license is the practical detail that matters most. When Sturecompagniet and Spy Bar close at 3 AM, Solidaritet is still running. The post-3 AM influx can change the room's character, bringing in people from the closing clubs above. The core crowd tends to arrive earlier and stay through, treating the late hours as the main event rather than an afterthought. If you're visiting Stockholm and care about electronic music, this basement is more likely to deliver a memorable night than any of the grand venues above it.
The Neighborhood
Solidaritet is on Lästmakargatan, a quiet side street less than a minute's walk from the Stureplan square. The contrast between the polished surface and the raw basement is part of the experience. After Solidaritet closes at 5 AM, your options are a taxi home or the first Tunnelbana trains that start running around 5:30 AM.
Getting There
Östermalmstorg Tunnelbana station (red line) is a 4-minute walk. From the Stureplan square, walk south on Grevgatan and turn left onto Lästmakargatan. The entrance is easy to miss; look for a small sign and a staircase leading down.
