Avenyn: Great beer, food and atmosphere

    This is a small pub on a sidestreet to Avenyn that has great beer and a frinedly staff to serve it to you. And with great beer I mean they have Tetley's and Guinness. 'Nough said. They have more beers than that off course, but who needs it?

    They also have good food, and it's always 2 for 1 on the favourites, so it's the perfect place to start the evening. Because you know you better eat something before diving into that beer if you want to avoid hitting the wall, or floor as the case may be, to early.

    It's a pretty small place and it ususally has a really good atmosphere. Really crowded on the weekends though, for better or worse. Depends on what you are looking for.

    Avenyn: Let there be Rock

    They say their name is Hard Rock Cafe, Diamond Dogs etc. They talk the talk, but do they walk the walk?

    If you want rock then Rockbaren is the place to be. Here you get great musik and beer. Period. And what else is there to wish for? And they are pretty good at taking requests, as long as it's not to busy and they have five people shouting songs all the time, apart from the fifty that are shouting for beer.

    It's open until 03.00 every night of the week. Happy hour until 22.00 which means 2 for 1 on beers.

    Upstairs is generally more "pop-rock" like G'n'R and the like. Usually better music downstairs. Also a smokeroom upstairs. Don't take your beer with you though, you'll be kicked out faster than you can say Motörhead! Don't know why but that's the rule.

    To sum up, pretty gritty, pretty dark and pretty god damn good.

    The famous "Avenyn" parade street can be quite a tourist trap but is nevertheless popular with locals too as long as they are looking for dance floors and drinks. Here you can find not only restaurants but several famous nightclubs. Just follow the music of your taste in the evenings.

    Various depending on place.

    Avenyn: Hip night club on Avenyn
  • Tip Rating:

  • This is the place you go to if you want to look cool. :) One of the new clubs on Avenyn, the biggest street in Gothenburg, and it's supposed to be really hip.
    We got here on a Thursday evening, and despite the day it was fairly packed with people. Lots of guys in the age 25-30. Lots of girls in the age 16-20...

    Damn I'm old...

    We managed to find a table for our gang, but were abruptly chased away by a waitress after half an hour as the table was reserved (i.e her friends needed somewhere to sit...).
    Was about to leave the place right away, but decided to stay a while longer.

    The club is nice, with a huge bar in the middle. On the top floor you go outside, although it's covered with glass around. Most probably very nice in the summer, but now in January it was just cold. Super cold...

    The first floor is better, and the music was good. Lacked a dance floor though, so the atmosphere was quite tense. Would say that some of the people there had reasons to stay away from the police...

    Quite full of bratts guys (meaning guys with daddy's credit card...) and wannabe girls who ran after the money.

    Was fun to stay there for a night, but I doubt I'll go back tomorrow...

    And, damn I feel old...

    While we were there a photographer came up, saying he was from the home page of Lounges. And according to the photos from the weekend before the media age turns up a bit during the weekends.

    Probably that's when I should go there instead... :)

    Since we were there on a Thursday night it was no problem to get in, but it's not the place you go to dressed in a t-shirt and sneakers. On weekends, be there early to get in, specially if you're a guy.

    Simply, dress nice.

    Free entry when we were there, but I doubt it's the same service on weekends. 20 SEK, or 2,50 euro, for leaving your jacket in the wardrobe.

    Open only three days a week:
    Thursday 22-03.00
    Friday: 17-04
    Saturday: 22-04

    Trädgår'n takes its name from the fact that it is in Trädgårdsföreningen, the horticultural society's park. This gives it a wonderful atmosphere as a warm summer night can be spent dancing under the stars :) A real classic in the city, all sorts of people come here to have a great night out and there are also the odd gig with famous bands now and again.

    Appropriate night club wear but not too strict.

    Avenyn: For a late beer
  • Tip Rating:

  • Most places in Gothenburg closes at 1am on weekdays, so if you want to continue to have a few more beers after that you'll have to go to the Avenyn street. One of the places that are open late there are Diamond dogs.
    Very cosy place, with both a small dance floor, but also plenty of table with sofas where one can sit down if you're more in the mood for that.

    Music is good, but still not very noisy, so you can sit down and just talk if you like.

    The service is good, the beers are good, although the options are quite limited when it comes to draft beer.

    It's said to be a place where criminals take off to, but so far I've just had fun there.

    The guard was pretty offensive last time I was there, throwing us out exactly at 3am, not caring if we had finished our drinks or not. It's the kind of behaviour that makes me go somewhere else next time.
    Only problem is to find a place that is open at that time... :)

    There is also a small taverna, so during the summer months it's possible to sit outside and look at the people passing by.

    Not very fancy, so you can most of the time wear anything you want.

    All the "umbrella drinks" you would expect but in the skybar on the top of the Gothia Tower hotel which means a great city view too. Actually, you could afford staying at the hotel too these days since they often have city break special rates and aren't more expensive than the other "biggies" in town.

    Not too casual.

  • If you want to know where all the people are, this is probably the place. The line outside is always long on Fridays and Saturdays. It's easier to get in on Fridays due to it being the big after work night.
    Don't miss the free buffet on the second floor.
    Excet has it all. Want to dance? Go to the basement or the second floor. Want to mingle? Go anywhere else. In the summer, go to the "outdoor garden" on the third floor.
    Age limit is 22 and up, sometimes 25.

    Jeans, a shirt and sneakers is okey.

    Well, my friends... I had a lovely night here with the south American ladies. They danced all night and I drank beer and drinks. Just fun. This is a night club with many small rooms and I think I was in the salsa bar.

    I was there with a shirt and jeans. It was no problem to get in with that.
