Stearin Restaurang & Bar (CLOSED)

No Longer In Business

Cool place with a rather small selection, but always some Beerbliotek.

A soft and cool place, which I do not consider to be a particular "beery", but rather a good place with an average selection. A bit crowded when I was there for an All In Beer release.

Located close to Rover and Järntorget. Quite cozy and minimalistic interior. Ten beers on tap, we found beers from Beerbliotek, All In, and Croocked Moon during our visit. Maybe 20 different bottles. There are better beer places in Gothenburg, but you might find a gem or two here.

Quite a trendy place, but it’s a good place to go to if you want to find beers from Beerbliotek and All In. The service is very friendly.

Restaurant with a small craft beer bar that also hosts a couple of new beer releases every now and then for local breweries. Haven’t tried the actual restaurant yet but it looks nice so I’m not sure I’d visit if it wasn’t for the occasional beer release.

Only visited once so far, on March 28, 2013, for the All In beer release party.
A big crowd that night for the release, and the ppl in the bar didn’t seem sure what to do about it. Fairly slow service, wrong stuff got poured, they seemed very stressed, ran out of glasses etc. Only one card machine for payment, and not a wireless one, so always needed to get to one place in the bar to pay. When these many ppl are in there, it gets not only crowded but also very hot, and the ventilation didn’t seem to be able to cut it. Had 10 beers on taps, other than the two from All In and two from Beerbliotek was not very exciting other beers. Some seating available, only one toilet. Didn’t try eating.
This was likely an extraordinary event when looking at how many ppl showed up, but talked to one guy who were there for the last beer release party, and as of his story it seems the same chaos happened during that night.
With the amount of amazing beer places available in the area, I’m not sure I will return unless there are other similiar special events going on.
When looking at the menu online I’m sure someone up for a bit more posh dining will like eating here, me I like it a bit more simple with my food, so the menu didn’t appeal to me really.
Prices for the release beers were rather steep indeed, didn’t focus much on their regular prices for drinks, but the food prices are a bit over the top for me.
I did get to meet many friends and brewers on this night though, so I had a good time, but after trying three beers from the release me and two mates left the place to go where the temperature was lower, the beer selection greater and the prices lower, as well as less crowded in the bar and better service.
Located close to accessible "Järntorget" with public transportation, or by going to "Prinsgatan" tram and bus stop which is even closer I think.
