Gothenburg

Bar Centro

Small Italian-style espressobar, takes coffee very seriously.

Café Husaren

This café is famous for its tasty, giant kanelbullar (cinnamon buns). You can easily share one of these with three or four people. Or, if you don`t care about diabetes, you can eat one for lunch or dinner.

Café Skåne

The antithesis of a trendy cafe with affordable prices and large sandwiches to fill you up.

Sun-Fri 24 hr, closed Sat

Gretas

The biggest gay nightclub in the city, with 2 dance floors playing schlager, pop, 1980s, 90s and disco downstairs, house and r'n'b upstairs.

Haket

Indie pop/goth. Often arranges theme nights, with music, videos and even drinks featuring a certain artist. Hosts Monochrome, a long-running Goth club the first Saturday every month. Haket is also a restaurant and bar, with an excellent selection of microbrewed beers.

Heaven 23

One of the finest bars in town if you want cocktails and a nice view. You can also have dinner here.

Kaffe Kid

It is close to Haga and one block from the Oscar Frederiks kyrka. This charming café makes for a great stop and probably offers the coziest atmosphere you will find in Gothenburg.

Kellys

Cheap beer. Lots of vegan food. Mixed crowd of middle-aged regulars and young people.

King's Head

On this street well known for its cheap pubs and porn stores, this pub is an alternative for those who wants to spend time in a little more sophisticated environment. The clientele is more well adjusted in this place.

Beer 32 kr

Sejdeln

When Kellys is packed Sejdeln is a perfectly adequate option, it's right next to Kellys and has even cheaper beer and roughly the same clientele.

Språkcaféet

Ölhallen 7:an

One of the best places for good beer, and the only traditional "Beer-hall" left in the city. It is situated next to Saluhallen

Ölrepubliken

A good selection of beers on tap with a bias toward British and Belgian beers, this pub is an excellent alternative to the mid centre locations. Found not far from Kronhusbodarna a couple of hundred meters from Nordstan.
