Reviews
Very nice place with live music, small but very uniq place. Band was super on 2026-08-20, created very good atmosfere.
Great little club. Not a lot of seats, but you can sit beside the stage, by the bar or large windows, or stand. Great vibe with the former pawnshop history. Enjoyed the Thursday Quartet show.
Cosy jazz vibes and one of the best jazz clubs to be in Stockholm
We were a group of old Spanish friends in Stockholm looking for a place with live music. We didn’t know anything about Stampen before, and I have to say it was one of the best nights I've ever spent in a bar, listening to music and dancing. We were very lucky! An incredible jam session that I thoroughly enjoyed! The day we were there was Saturday, May 23, 2026.
