Malmö Bar Guide
30+ bars across Malmö's drinking neighbourhoods, curated by editors who know the city.
Malmö is Sweden's most underrated bar city. The Möllevången district runs five blocks of dive-and-craft-beer bars with a working-class warmth Stockholm lost. Western Harbour wraps the modern apartment district with sunset cocktail terraces. The Skåne aquavit sour is the local cocktail. The bartenders are friendlier and the prices are lower than across the bridge in Copenhagen.
Five neighbourhoods cluster the action. Möllevången is the dive-and-craft-beer spine. Västra Hamnen (Western Harbour) holds the polished cocktail-terrace district. Davidshall runs the boutique cocktail rooms. Gamla Staden covers the heritage cobblestone bars. Triangeln is the polished shopping-and-bar district.
Cocktails run SEK 120 to SEK 170 ($11 to $16). Pints SEK 65 to SEK 85. Tipping is rounding up. Most bars run to 1am, weekend bars to 3am.
