“Below I read this was the place of Karlskrona's redemption for Marko. Well, for me it was actually the place of damnation. We arrived in a larger group, so we made sure to place a reservation beforehand. When we arrived, we were seated in a side room outside the brewpub that looked as if a staff mess hall and a broom locker had an ugly child. Unhappy to be treated as lesser humans, four people (me included) proceeded to take a seat in the brewpub instead. One of the bartenders, sporting the apparition of a gnome, came swiftly at us and demanded in a pretentious and uncouth voice that we leave the table immediately and go to our broom locker room, as that was the place destined for us subhumans. Well, he might have not used the latter word actually, merely implying it. Being arrested 4 hours to our ferry's departure for beating up a sorry excuse for a bartender did present itself to me as a viable option, though I managed to swiftly discard it with great help from my meticulously chaperoned stoicism. We moved from the table reserved apparently for the local upper class and proceeded to sit not in the broom locker, but along the lagering tanks placed along a wall near the entrance, where that jerk finally left us alone. If it was only for that, but none of the six beers I tasted (flights available) made an impression that would not match the bartender's charm, and so as it is, this brewery proved to be conceptually complete as a place to avoid and wish the worst upon.“

“Alcohol shop in a small shopping mall. Managed to obtain some nice Swedish and US-American craft beers frankly dirt cheap, or at least notably cheaper than they would cost in Poland. The price difference in Sweden between beers in Systembolaget and in bars is huge. So yeah, recommended for loading up on those goodies.“

“Huge pub divided into two sections. The one in the back used to be a cinema hall, and the ambience reflects that. Yet downstairs there are rehearsal rooms and I could hear something of the likes of Motorhead practicing. The main part of F&A is a huge, English-style pub. English but quite upscale, with beautiful Tiffany-like stained glass in many places. Good service and 30 taps; from brews made by Imperial Brygghus next door, through Scandinavian craft beers to imports. The best place for beer in Karlskrona that we could find.“

“Nanobrewery in the heart of Karlskrona, literally tiny. Sports a taproom from the front with room for up to 24 people. Their beers are poured at Fox And Anchor next door, though the offer in the taproom is a bit more extensive with up to 10 taps. Very nice owner showed us around.“

“A brewpub that's a part of Karlskrona's Arkipelag hotel. After experiencing the worst experience thus far in Sweden at another place in the town, the two ladies behind the bar - friendly and knowledgeable, were the saving grace of Karlskrona and then some. There is a fairly big number of taps, though not everything was on, and some were their sour plus fruited variations on it (including the amazingly looking lingonberry sour). The beers were generally solid, a bit hit & miss, with a pretty nice dry stout, and two barleywines (no. 2 being the particular standout). Nice streetside patio too. There is food, we didn't partake. Definitely a must-visit while in town! PS. I would suggest to them, since they're already paying to be an UT venue, to update their beer list there more frequently (the last update was in early October last year...).“

“In essence, this is a very cute little bar with a nice, big patio, and a load of funny and nice details all over the place. It exudes soul, and generally a very positive one. Sadly, this was also the place with the worst service, by far, that we encountered on our trip. The lady behind the bar wasn't friendly to begin with, but the most bizarre thing was when I dared to go have a Nr. 2 in the toilet and stayed perhaps for a minute or two "too long" (for her liking) while someone was waiting, which resulted in rude knocking and ruder still comments about me inside from said lady, like I wasn't a paying customer and didn't have as much right to use it as anyone else. When she saw me later with the group, she didn't have the basic courtesy to apologize or discuss the, frankly, uncivil situation she had created. One of the guys serving outside proceeded to ignore us addressing him as well later, so we didn't bother with another round. I'm sure everyone can have bad days, but seriously... we visited tens and tens of places in Sweden, and are nice and friendly towards everybody, and this was pretty much the only exception from at least pro service. That said, the place appears to have a solid beer selection, along with three local Natträby beers, two of which were way below par (including the one made for the place) and one of which was okay, good even. I mean... I can safely say that the place might potentially be much nicer sometimes, maybe depending on who's there, the sheer discrepancy between the place and the way staff acted was bizarre. Do give it a visit for Natträby ticks if you're ticking.“

“Well, its just a big shop with many different types of alcohol, including beer ofc. There is many beers, quite a lot from Scandinavia, some from UK, Belgium. Unfortunately, the amount of beer styles here is low, mostly lagers (pale and dark),and I, few bitters and wheats. But it's still worth it to visit this place :)“

“Nice place with a rather good selection of beers. Including local beers. Food was excellent and very nice decorations. Atleast if your a movie and particular a Star Wars fan. They also throw beertasting events which also adds great value. Highly recommended!“

“Restaurant at the Maritime Museum. In collaboration with two local micro breweries they have created two trademark beers that can only be found there. The food is great, especially their buffet lunch.“

“This used to be a Bishops Arms, and they still got the interior from that time. Not very knowledgable staff, but some Danish micros and Belgian ales on bottle and ok international selection on tap.“
