Il Merlo

Il Merlo is a small Italian wine bar and sandwich spot on Wollmar Yxkullsgatan, near Mariatorget in Södermalm. The bar says it focuses on Italian wines, especially Sicilian bottles, and serves food from its menu. Visit Stockholm describes the menu as grilled Italian sandwiches that change over time. The interior takes inspiration from Sicilian culture and Italian films from the 1950s through the 1990s. The owners say they want the room to feel more like a living room than a traditional bar, where guests can talk and spend time.

Events are part of the offer. The venue says there is something new each week, including jazz nights, film screenings, literary events, launches and quizzes. Quizzes are in Swedish. Check the venue’s calendar for upcoming events. Il Merlo also accepts proposals for public cultural events such as book launches, exhibitions, talks and music events. The venue says it charges no venue fee for events that are open to the public. For the bar, take the metro to Mariatorget and walk to Wollmar Yxkullsgatan 10.
