What makes Bee stand out

Bee Kök & Bar is in the Stora Saluhallen on Kungstorget, Gothenburg’s historic 19th-century market hall. It’s a restaurant, cocktail bar and evening hangout in one. Its stance is clear: everyone is welcome, regardless of gender, background or sexual orientation. That’s why goteborg.com includes Bee in the city’s queer guide.

By day many come for lunch. Popular choices are the Swedish shrimp sandwich räkmacka, burgers and fish dishes such as pan-fried salmon. In the evening the restaurant becomes a bar; on Fridays and Saturdays it’s open until 3 am and there’s dancing. In summer there are seats outside in the sun, and dogs are welcome.

Atmosphere and crowd

The crowd is mixed: people on their lunch break, tourists, groups of friends and many queer guests, especially in the evening. Most often praised are the atmosphere and the friendly team.
