Öppnar inom kort.
Tucked into a corner of Stockholm, but with a soul loving the world. A cocktail bar where things are done properly. Just not too seriously.
Back in 2019, our family started A Bar Called Gemma. It grew into something widely loved. People came, stayed, returned, and Gemma found its way onto the international scene. But that’s history now — and a good one.
This is our next chapter. Jokes Aside is where Johan Evers and his team work with precision, shaping cocktails with a clear point of view. Each drink starts with a direction – a type, a feeling, a structure – then draws from ideas found across the world. Swedish techniques meet international flavors. The result is something new, without overcomplicating it.
We want Jokes Aside to be a bar you arrive at without effort – and leave with stories. You might find yourself among neighbors, sisters, lawyers, workers, friends, and dreamers. Let’s have some fun. It’s not that serious.
Jokes aside, we care deeply
about what’s in your glass.
