The neighborhood’s Swedish history lives on in this worn-and-warm tavern, which dedicates one whole wall to a deer-hunting mural featuring regulars from years past. There are also goblets of seasonal homemade glögg (mulled wine), Viking tchotchkes and an iconic neon sign out front featuring a fish holding a martini glass. (Pickled herring. Get it?)
