Great food and a good variety of beer! Best English atmosphere! Love it! Bishops Arms in Linköping…read moreis one of my favourites now!

The Bishops Arms is a chain of pubs owned by the same guy who owns all the Elite hotels in Sweden…read more They are usually found next door to an Elite hotel but in this case it is a few blocks from the hotel but they are still affiliated so the voucher you get as a frequent guest at Elite can be used here. The concept is simple - large variety of craft beer (around 20 or so on tap and many more by the bottle) as well as impressive selection of whiskey combined with well-made pub grub, The look is the typical English pub and I appreciate the fact that there is never a TV in any of the Bishops Arms pubs and the music is kept at a low volume so it is easy to speak.

They may be doing something that has already been done in many places before but they are still doing it well. With around 20 beers on tap and 80 or so by the bottle it is easy to find some nice stuff. The locally brewed beers are also something not easily found elsewhere and also pretty good. The space has a nice and cozy atmosphere where they have really made the best possible use of the space. The friendly and pleasant service is a great plus as well. Prices are a bit in the high side but I would rather pay a bit more for something that is good than less for something that is not so the old you get what you pay for holds true.
