Restaurants, nightlife and culture is what makes Järntorget and the streets Långgatorna a particularly interesting area. The neighbourhood is located in between Linné, Rosenlund and Kungshöjd, but also Masthugget and Haga.
The street Andra Långgatan has an almost endless selection of bars, with a focus on beer and affordable food. The crowd is often quite young and there are always a lot of people. These include 9:ans Ölhall and Ölstugan Tullen. Both have a large selection of beers, with many local options. On the street Tredje Långgatan, in the same building, there are several trendy restaurants that serve everything from Italian to Mexican or dumplings. There is also a café and an event venue where fairs and exhibitions are regularly organized. Further down the street is Saluhallen Briggen, which has several lunch restaurants.
At the square Järntorget you’ll find Draken Live, with Clarion Hotel Draken, Folkteatern and Pustervik. The latter is a combined restaurant, club and concert venue with a popular outdoor terrace. In the foyer of Folkteatern is also Folk, a popular restaurant and bar with a focus on fish, shellfish and natural wine. On the 34th floor of Clarion Hotel Draken you’ll find a popular rooftop bar with amazing views. The newly opened restaurant Hjôrdis is located right in the middle of the square and tempts guests with ice-cold schnapps and both traditional and innovative Swedish home-style cooking.
The shops are a bit spread out, but worth mentioning are the small children’s bookshop Bokskåpet on Värmlandsgatan, the charming clothing store Butik Kubik on Tredje Långgatan, Maska on Fjärde Långgatan, Björkåfrihet on Linnégatan and Myrornas large second-hand shop on several floors at Järntorget. At Arkivet, which you can also find right next to Järntorget, you will find carefully selected second-hand from brands such as Acne Studios and Filippa K. At Göteborg Manufaktur, which you can find at Tredje långgatan 3, there is, among other things, a large selection of Japanese jeans. The shop also offers custom-made measures and repairs. At Le Village Antik on Nordhemsgatan you’ll find fantastic antiques in a unique environment.
When it comes to accommodation, anywhere in the city centre, as well as Rosenlund or Kungshöjd works well. To reach the city centre you can either hop on a tram or walk across the hill at Kungshöjd to reach the Magasinsgatan. Järntorget is the public transport hub and several different tram lines and buses stop here.
