The bartenders are super friendly and want to help you find a good beer you'll like.

Definitely recommend if you want a nice cozy place where you can sit and chat with friends.

Otherwise you can always have some beers in the bar area while you wait for your table. They have an amazing selection of local and imported beers. 32 rotating in draft! The food is really delicious. You get a nice helping of popcorn brought to your table while you look through the menu, which is a nice touch! They have one of my favorite veggie (vegan) burgers in the city. I usually get the sweet potato fries on the side, which are some of the best I've had. The regular fries are also quite tasty. My friends tell me the regular hamburger is one of the best in town as well. They also have a few seasonal dishes throughout the year, but I haven't tried any yet. The staff is always really friendly and helpful. They have a lot of knowledge about the beers and can offer recommendations based on your preferences. The atmosphere is cozy and casual. Situated on Andra Långgatan, it's the perfect place to start your night with food and a beer before making your way to the other pubs on the street.

The beer is the cheapest in town (along with kellys and sejedln) and the peanuts are always free. It is packed on weekends but if you are at all social, it doesn't become a problem. Did I mention how friendly people are? The cheap beer attracts a very young clientele, expect to feel like an oldtimer if you're over 30. A bit of a hipstery student crowd, but far more chill than the nearby hipster pubs. It is the dive bar to end all dive bars. Decor isn't even so bad, biggest complaint about the ambiance is the cheap beer gets spilled often. I have drank here more than any pub in town. A huge english speaking foreign clientele.

Anonymous and with that local joint look to it. For me the selection of beer is crucial when choosing pub. I do not enjoy the watery Spendrups, Norrlands or Pripps (or alike from other countries). I do enjoy a local beer once in awhile when abroad, yes, but that is a different story! A good IPA or Pale Ale and I am in! We went here on a Saturday night around 6 to grab a bit. It was still many seats free, but the best once were taken. We went for the burgers and did not regret. The Mexican with guacamole and hot jalapenos is a hit! A bit on the stingy side regarding the cole slow side dish. The girl waitering on us was super friendly. Just one TV-screen so your sport freak company won't loose focus on you. They have a projector and white screen, meant for bigger sports event I guess. The premises is cozy and not very large. Typical local joint with - I assume - many regulars. I could easily be one of them if this was my neighborhood. No AMEX.

It doesnt get more and possibly could get less because of the consistency in service there being mediocre. I dont post reviews sometimes because I want to go back and see if the service is consistently under par. Same with going and having a fantastic time but I'll often give 4 and a 5 when I return and find it just as or better. That said, I walked in and there were literally a handful of guests, just a few minutes after opening. I walked around to see if my friend had arrived, and to pick out a table. I walked up to the bar and one man stood there who couldn't decide what he wanted and was waiting for his lady friend to come back from the bathroom. We stood next to each other. The barkeep got tired of waiting and said to the guy, when you're ready...then another man walked in and up to the bar. The barkeep walked down the length of the bar away from us and asked the other guy what he wanted and served him! Really?! When I asked him when he came back why I had to wait when the other customer didnt know what he wanted and the other guy came in after me, he shrugged his shoulders and said he saw me after the 2nd guy gave his order. The food is mediocre, greasy, tastes like the fishsticks served at school lunch from the 70s. The people who started to fill the bar were mostly older Swedes with a sprinkling of English speakers also older. I mean older, like 70plus. So maybe the menu is also from the 70s. It gets 3 stars because I've been to other Bishops Arms and they have better service and a more mixed crowd so It might be best to try one of the others in the city. I have to say this is why I like Notting Hill, they really keep track of who walks in, what you've ordered, etc. And their food is consistently good. A last note for Guinness drinkers...it doesnt taste as good either at Bishops Arms it tastes a little flat, in a hard to describe way but I've noticed Guinness does taste different from different tapas vs bottles vs cans. If anyone knows why or thinks I'm not crazy, I'd like to know why. BTW I've never sent back a pint, but maybe I should?

If you are interested in craft beer or ordinary beer - Bishops serves both concepts…read more The food is pub food, not a wow factor. The beer selection has always been decent on tap. Ask for the bottle menu for a even better selection. BA is a chain/franchise and maybe not the sexiest or coolest place, but it looks like an old "well worn" pub if that is what you are looking for. If you are looking for cheap lager - move on. Since a few months they refurbished the front room where the bar is. They accept AMEX.

First the place is well located in the Järntorget spot and steps away from the tram. While I didn't eat in that place I had a couple drinks and to be honest the atmosphere between work colleague was exceptional as we had a blast and obviously contributed to the experience. We were all situated in a center lengthy table on high chairs next to the beer ordering. The waiter was very warm and joked with us quite a bit. Since we were a group with many different nationalities (Swedes, Brazilians, Canadians, Polish and French) the conversation revolves around this topic with the waiter. What struck me in this place was the scenery, ranging from the ceiling to the wall it is clear the owner either put some effort into it or called for interior designer specialist. Since describing decoration isn't what I am the most skilled about I have put pictures as they replace a thousand words. See it for yourself. Hygiene was also good ranging from the tables to the toilets (toilet were also another style in itself with the graffitis. Hope I'll return for the food next time.

Seems to be a hangout for all types, hipsters, older couples, older pairs of friends, old and young communists, college students. The seating is deliberately not comfortable, I think. High stools and narrow bar tables with hard benches...it seems to say, drink up bit don't get comfortable. Which suited us just fine. During the summer they build benches so you can sit outside along the entrance to Andra Långgatan, our old neighborhood. Watch Känn ingen sorg, then go.down and hang out to watch the parade of people who come down to the area. This is a good meeting up place if you are going to do a pub crawl. A few were sitting alone and reading a book or looking at their phones. So if you dont want a cup of coffee next door at expresso house while you write your latest blog or work on your novel, this could be your alternative spot to nurse a brew.

It is really hard for me to judge this place because it was the last place I went to after a long…read morenight out of drinking. The main thing I recall about this place was that it reminded me of a large college bar with immature people. It was not super classy, but not trashy, either. It was just kind of...average. They must have had an okay beer selection because in the photos I saw the next day, I was drinking stouts all night... They did not have enough bathrooms for the size of the place. The bouncer/security guard was super nice and I chatted with him off and on the whole night (our table was right beside the door). The vibe I get from this place is that if you're 22, it's awesome. If you're 29, it's not. If you're 29 and act like you're sometimes 22 (like me), it can make for a pretty fun night.

A bit higher average age than the 20something bars. Still mixed ages. No show off, just pure friendliness - you're probably going to share tables with strangers (due to how tables are placed). They have an upstairs section for dining customers. We didn't eat but they seem to have pretty decent food for being a pub, since there were a lot of eating customers. Excellent selection of beer. Ten permanent drafts, two or three guest beers on tap and about 50 different bottled beers! The music they play is not too loud and it is not the latests disco hits. More rock and alternative pop. Accepts AMEX.
