The cocktail bar everyone is talking about in Stockholm 2020. Lucy's is run by bartenders Ola Carlson and Alex Skarlen; both with a long careers in the industry. They work with distinct flavours, a lot less citrus and they have their own lab where they develop drinks. Lucy's is not a speakeasy per se but they only have 25 or so seats and you get table waited.
