    Katalin and All That Jazz

    Katalin, in a former warehouse behind the train station, hosts regular live jazz and blues, with occasional rock and pop bands. There’s a good restaurant too, and in summer the sun-splashed back patio is jammed with great-looking people acting like they’re not checking each other out.

    Bishops Arms

    Whether or not you’re convinced by the ‘authentic English pub’ schtick, the bar’s outdoor drinking area, with super castle views, is a swinging spot on a summer evening. There are also pub meals available for under Skr100.

    Harrys

    Though it’s part of a sort of blah chain, Harrys is in a good location down by the river. It’s popular and has a comprehensive menu of pub meals (Skr80 to Skr180), live music on a Thursday, and a nightclub on Friday and Saturday.

    Formerly the ubertrendy Babar, this sleek hang-out is still fashionable with young, hip students; the menu gets more attention these days and includes tapas and Asian fusion dishes (lunch from Skr69; dinner mains Skr130 to Skr170).
