Mäster Anders

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Pub Woven into Kungsholmen's Identity

Few places in Stockholm carry their history as visibly as Mäster Anders. The story begins in 1692, when gårdskock Anders Månsson Holm opened a tavern on Kungsholmsgatan — a name and a spirit that have endured through the centuries. The current address on Pipersgatan 1 has been home to Mäster Anders since 1905, making it one of the longest-standing establishments in the city at a single location.

Ask any Stockholm local to name the classic pubs of Kungsholmen, and Mäster Anders is almost certain to come up first. That kind of neighbourhood loyalty isn't manufactured — it's earned over generations.

The Room Tells the Story

Walk in and the interior does the talking: dark wooden furniture set against a checkered tile floor, high arched windows letting in the Stockholm light, and mirrors that have reflected more than a century of evening conversations. It is a classic pub atmosphere, unchanged in the ways that matter, and recognised as such by the White Guide, which awarded Mäster Anders its Fine level distinction in 2026 — noting that few establishments are so completely identified with their neighbourhood.

The space feels neither preserved as a museum nor updated for trend's sake. It simply is what it is: a room built for people to sit, eat, and stay a while.

Evening Hours, Friday Lunch

Mäster Anders opens for dinner Monday through Saturday from 17:00, with a Friday lunch service running from 11:30. The kitchen is backed by a wine list curated to match the unhurried, convivial mood of the place. Part of the Gruppo Italiano family of restaurants, it shares a commitment to quality without pretension that runs across the group's Stockholm addresses.
