February 18, 2008
Visited several times. The beers are ok, fine selection and ok rooms. The only problem is the prices!.

I’ve visited all three TBA’s in Gothenburg, I would say Västra Hamngatan is the coziest and has the best selection. The one at Järntorget has a nice terrace summertimes. Good service, and the staff seemed to know pretty much what is served and where to find it. Prices were a little bit higher than at many other pubs, but not disturbingly so.

Nice and cosy but standard and similar english interior in all three pubs. Good selection of beer, but not the best in Gothenburg. They also serve some decent food. Sometimes they have one real ale on cask. Probably one of the best selections of single malt whisky in town. Prices are high. Usually very crowded on the weekends.

The oldest of the three Bishop Arm pubs in Gothenburg. The other two are at Järntorget and Götaplatsen. Quite expensive and gets crowded since it is quite small.

Small and cosy place, albeit a bit kitschy when it comes to decoration. The staff is friendly and helpfull, and with a good beer knowledge as far as I can judge. Food is basic, not bad at all but nothing to come here for.

One of the best places to go in gothenberg. Great selection of hand pulls an taps, also some vintage ales in aswell. Tasted narke kragggen here thanks to rick, petit orval and some triple fff vintage beer.

So apparently all the Bishops Arms have a pretty similar setup. The beer selection looks quite good, but when you have the Rover a few blocks away, the draught selection here fails to seem really complementary, maybe for 1 micro.. The fridges are well filled with a good range of various beers, swedish micros being well represented, but there again, less so than at Haket.. So a worthy stop if you have more than 2 nights in town. Otherwise, you’d be better of relaxing at the other places and encouraging their good and smaller businesses.

Well fitted out and cosy, came after a Bob Dylan concert and the place was absolutly packed. Not a huge range of beers, Ahle imperial gale was the highlight on tap... prices are high, even for Sweden. Pretty hard to comment on the staff as it was so busy, but they knew the beers and served in proper glasses I guess.

Britannia still rules in this Gothenburg cellar pub-. Nicely decorated with plenty of seating as well as quiet corners. Service is ok with tastings offered, but no table service. Beer selection is a bit disappointing to a foreigner with only two Swedish micros on tap (at the time of my visit). Food is advanced bar snacks.
