Dance Clubs in Gothenburg
Valand ★ 4.2

Live Music in Gothenburg
Nefertiti ★ 4.5
Nefertiti is Gothenburg's premier jazz club since 1988, hosting Scandinavian and international jazz, soul and funk acts almost every night in a basement venue that feels like it was transplanted from 1960s New York.
Sticky Fingers ★ 4.2
Sticky Fingers is Gothenburg's legendary rock and indie venue on Kaserntorget, hosting Swedish and international bands since 1990 with a bar that stays open late and a loyal crowd of music lifers.

Tak Goteborg ★ 4.3
Tak Goteborg occupies a rooftop overlooking the Goteborg canal system, serving cocktails and small plates with views across the terracotta rooftops of the city centre from an enclosed terrace that runs year-round.
Speakeasies in Gothenburg
OT ★ 4.4
OT on Ostra Larmgatan operates with a speakeasy-like restraint, no signage outside, a buzzer entry and a considered cocktail list that changes seasonally, maintaining a low profile that filters for guests who seek it out deliberately.
Lgbtq in Gothenburg
Baren pa Friheten ★ 4.2

Listening Bars in Gothenburg
JINX ★ 4.4

Late Night Dives in Gothenburg
Pub Anchor ★ 4.0
Pub Anchor at Stigbergstorget is Majorna's no-frills late-night dive, with cheap draught lager, a dartboard, loud music and a genuinely local crowd that makes it feel far removed from the Avenyn tourist circuit.
Major Tom ★ 4.1
Major Tom is the quintessential Majorna late-night local, with cheap beer, a mix of creative-industry regulars and a relaxed vibe that makes it the natural end point of a Majorna bar crawl from Stigbergets to Beerbliotek.
