One of the many restaurant-bars in Karlstad market center. Open late night until 1a most days…read more Crowd is young - 20s and 30s - and most people came in groups. No one sat at the bar, mostly at tables on terrace/patio. Stopped in for a beer and snack. Staropramen draft (pilsner-like) beer was ~70 SEK and meat/cheese platter was ~175 SEK. Took a little while to order, but received items soon after order. Food was nothing worth mentioning and platter seemed a bit overpriced. May have been more fun on weekends. Bottom Line: Ok for late night, but would opt to hop over to other nearby places.

It's kind of cool especially when you want to get rid of the teenagers and students. Moreover you usually have to pay around 50 SEK for the entrance, unless there's a concert so it's more expensive. It's got a small dancing room with cool posters of Jim Morrison, Jimmy Hendrix, The Beatles etcon the wall. You can also find there 2 bars which have wide variety of drinks (beer 50 SEK). Karlstad is not rich of night clubs but this is one of the best in the city.

Carlstad beer hall has a strong focus on local breweries around Värmland, but also a wide range of Sweden's microbreweries and imports. The food menu is Swedish home-cooked food with a twist, where all food is prepared from scratch and focuses on local ingredients, the menu is simple, tasty and satisfying. A place with amazing service and ambiance! A must place to visit if you are in town

This is a place to go if you are craving a hamburger. I happened to be in the area when a friend…read moretook me to this place. He said that he'd been going here since he was younger and wanted me to try how great it is. I ordered a cheeseburger and a side of fries and wasn't disappointed. Burger came neatly wrapped and the cheese was heated to a gooey consistency. The buns are toasted so everything isn't soggy. My order of fries came in a big tray with ketchup squirted on the side. There are other non burger options on the menu as well, like the kebab. I was told there used to be ice cream, I was sad about there not being any when I stopped by. For those who aren't familiar with the drink, they do sell Pucko! Don't ask, just buy one. They have seating inside for quite a few people and benches outside whenever the weather would be warm enough to do so (this is Sverige after all...) The walk-up window is open later than the inside so you are able to grab it and go. The woman making the food is very nice. Not only did she know her stuff she was pretty nice to this foreigner and a Norwegian friend. I gave this place 5 stars because this is one of the few places that can do a mean burger. Also 5 stars for being clean and having nice staff. Whenever I'm back visiting I'm making sure to visit again.

The only (Swedish) twist it has been given, and this is not a bad thing, is that it is also a restaurant and thus there are many tables. The tables are fairly widely spaced and some of the chairs to them are lether 'Chesterfield' type. The choice of ales is breathtaking. I didn't count, but they must have around 12 ales and 6 or so other kinds of beer on tap. We drank, London Pride, Spitfire and a local lager. The food was good. We ater fish and chips and a Swedish dish (pancake with bacon and little red lingonberries). Unlike at least one other pub I went to in Karlstad, it's customers seem to be a bit older in the 40 to 50 year old range.
