No. 32 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2025. The 50 Best Bars: No. 65 (2026), No. 72 (2024) and No. 84 (2023) on the 51-100 list. No. 15 on Europe's 50 Best Bars 2026. Winner of Best Cocktail Bar at the 2026 Bartenders' Choice Awards.

Svanen fills the restored 1896 premises of the Svaneapoteket, a pharmacy institution first established in 1628, with its mahogany fixtures, vintage glass cabinets, marble columns and original tilework intact. Founded by Himkok co-founder Yunus Yildiz with a beverage program developed with Karel Varga, the menu reads like the Latin-labelled apothecary drawers it sits among, on Nordic ingredients like gentian and juniper. It won Best Cocktail Bar for Norway at the 2026 Bartenders' Choice Awards.
