 Huset to the left by Saagar
Huset has 4 sections, one restaurant that closes at 11pm, a day/afternoon time cafe a nightclub and a once-in-a-while theater/cinema hall. Huset used to be the mine workers' entertainment centre and community house (thus the name "Huset" - the House). Huset's night club/pub is probably the most interesting night spot in Longyearbyen as the locals would go here, but shun the hotel's night bars. It's a meeting place, beer pub, pick-up place and everything inbetween. Very low key but fun place. Cover charges when music is played, live band tickets, wardrobe fee. Bearable prices. If you find the place out of the way, take a taxi here and back.
Not much in terms of style. Tie and jacket, ok, fur trapper's outfit, ok. Almost anything goes, and leave your gun in the reception/wardrobe area. If you have big clothes - parka, down jackets, ski boots etc. you can leave them in the reception. Leave a Comment Theme: NightclubAddress: Huset? That's it!Phone: 79022500Directions: Northern end of Longyearbyen along a lit road due up from the Svalbard Museum and across the valley from Nybyen. Considered bear safe, so no need to bring a gun unless you want to proceed further on a night walk up Bamsemumsveien or so.Website: www.huset.com

 Good mood and nice setting by Saagar
My feeling is that it could serve as an introduction to the Arctic. It is not a thing for veterans, those with a past good knowledge, nor for those who are mobile and can get out of Longyearbyen by other means.
The scenery offered is fantastic - the polar light at any season is great, weather permitting, of course. The food we had was mediocre, a reindeer stew. Good enough for us Norwegians, bland taste as we are accustomed to, but for foreigners this is not value for money. The staff tell about the environment and surrounding landscape and give stories about life in the Arctic. My guess is that the outcome depends a lot on whom you go with, who the guides are etc.
I would choose to go with a dog sled team and meet veterans of the Arctic. Try Spitsbergen Villmarksenter for this, I guess they will do a better job than Spitsbergen Travel for a tad more cash.
Beware of the polar bear danger, and follow the advice of the guides out there.
Dress very warmly - essentially you'd be outside. We had a nicely warmed tent (+3 degrees C) and outside it was approaching -30C. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: Adventdalen, near the Opera MountainDirections: 10 km out of Longyearbyen across Adventdalen

There's not much of a nightlife in Svalbard
Visitors were urged to leave their rifles in the hotel lobby as the ice bear danger isn't so big in the restaurant Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and Drinking

I guess this is the perfect place to talk about polar nights. There's darkness round the clock in Svalbard for more than two months. The darkness starts in the end of November and the first glimpses of light are seen in only in the beginning of February. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The best stocked bar I have ever seen. They even had Stroh's Rum, an Austrian rum I used to drink when I was stationed in Germany. Lots of people on Friday and Saturday night. Good beer (Ringnes)
