Latest reviews from Umea
| 56 /100 Runt Hörnet (Umeå) (Restaurant) KUNGSGATAN 50 “Nice modern interior design. More of a wine and drink bar, but there were some local beer. Kitchen had just closed when I arrived which was a bummer since the food looked nice. Staff didn't seem vry knowledgeable.“ |
| 62 /100 Pipes of Scotland (Bar) VASTRA NORRLANDSGATAN 17 “Nice rustic pub which happened to be in the same house as my hotel. Limited selection, two locals on tap. Friendly service. Food looked nice.“ |
| 54 /100 The Bishops Arms (Umeå) (Bar) RENMARKSTORGET 8 “Very large interior. Outside seating area separated with their own bar, which had poor selection. You coud not by inside and bring the beer outside, but the tap selection inside was pretty dull anyway.“ |
| 70 /100 NYGATAN 22 “Cosy and rustic pub which apparently also makes beers of their own. Pretty large tap selection, nothing fancy, four of their own beers. Friendly service.“ |
| 74 /100 Rex Bar & Grill Umeå (Bar) RÅDHUSTORGET “A very sober and classical high end swedish reataurant, whicj happens to have a decent beer selection. Excellent food, and very wmooth and friendly service.“ |
| 48 /100 The Bishops Arms (Umeå) (Bar) RENMARKSTORGET 8 “Pretty dark english style pub. Rather poor selection on draft but slightly interesting stuff in the fridges. Staff seemed quite bored and not so enthusiastic to recommend sth. But might have been a bad day.“ |
| 70 /100 Systembolaget Strömpilsplatsen (Umeå) (Beer Store) STRÖMPILSPLATSEN 29 “Quite typical sized Systembolaget store in shopping area. When the shopping center is very busy it can be a bit tricky to find parking space close to Systembolaget. Good selection of local breweries (such as U & Me, Bryggverket, Beer Studio, Skellefteå, Westerbottens). Friendly service.“ |
| 66 /100 Systembolaget Rådhusesplanaden (Umeå) (Beer Store) RÅDHUSESPLANADEN 6 E “Right in the city center. Typical semi large Systembolaget shop with a really good selection of local Umeå and northern Swedish beers.“ |
| 76 /100 NYGATAN 22 “Close to the train and bus station in Umeå C. Cozy British style of pub with their own brewpub producing mainly lagers and British style beers. Quite large, but full of people a Tuesday in November. Quite a few bottled beers too. Probably the best place in Umeå for local beers, except for Systembolaget.“ |
| 80 /100 RÅDHUSTORGET “Visited November 2019. Rather quiet Tuesday afternoon. Cozy downstairs pub with visible beer fridge outside the bar with some hundred bottles. Nice tap list with good mix of Swedish and international brews. Friendly service.“ |
| 76 /100 Rex Bar & Grill Umeå (Bar) RÅDHUSTORGET “Visited on a Saturday evening in October 2019. I went straight to the cozy bar downstairs. The service was friendly and the staff seems to be knowledgeable. The selection was good, at least when talking about the bottles and cans. My favourite place in Umeå.“ |
| 72 /100 NYGATAN 22 “Visited on a Friday evening in October 2019. This fairly large place was crowded during my visit. I only had one beer, one of their own ones that was a bit boring to be honest. The selection was good as was the service. Next time I will visit Lottas earlier in the evening.“ |
| 68 /100 The Bishops Arms (Umeå) (Bar) RENMARKSTORGET 8 “Visited early on a Friday in October 2019. A rather small and dark Bishops with a nice location, 1 minute from my hotel. (Scandic Plaza) The selection on tap was not that interesting, mostly standard stuff. The selection in the fridges was better with some local stuff. The service was good. This was a standard Bishops Arms.“ |
| 74 /100 NYGATAN 22 “Quite big brown pub in the center, cosy interior. Lots of beer on draft and lots of bottles too, mix of mostly local and swedish beers, with gome solid international choices. The swedish beers are the most interesting though. Friendly people, willing to give you a sample. Food is really nice, especially the reindeer. Prices are high, but normal for Sweden. Good place!“ |
| 72 /100 Systembolaget Rådhusesplanaden (Umeå) (Beer Store) RÅDHUSESPLANADEN 6 E “Good selection of local beers and some very good international brews. Prices are very good, way cheaper than swedish beers in other countries.“ |
| 58 /100 Rost Mat & Kaffe (Restaurant) SKOLGATAN 62 “Busy cafe/restaurant in the city centre - good location. "Green" eco-hipster feeling. Service was friendly. When in Umeå this is one place to check as they have some locals on bottles. Selection is not so wide.“ |
| 64 /100 Hundra (Restaurant) VASAGATAN 18-20 “UPDATE 10/2017:
They have now reopened with new name (ex-Guitars Bar & Restaurant): Hundra. They call themselves "Gastropub" serving lunch and dinner but beers are more or less same than they used to be. Perhaps less interesting taps. They are rare place to be open also in time between lunch and dinner. ------------------- Airy cafe/bar at the museum. They had nice selection of taps and some interesting bottles. Ok service, relaxed ambiance. Now closed, hopefully someone opens similar place here.“ |
| 66 /100 Rex Bar & Grill Umeå (Bar) RÅDHUSTORGET “Upscale kind of restaurant with a good beer selection with the local picks (Beer Studio, U&Me...). Friendly, knowledgeable service. It is ok to come here just for beer. But now they have new place down the cellar for beer hunters.“ |
| 74 /100 RÅDHUSTORGET “Newish downstairs place of Rex. This place has real "beer cellar" ambiance. Selection was excellent both on taps and bottles. Friendly and professional service. The most likely number #1 spot for Umeå now.“ |
| 62 /100 Runt Hörnet (Umeå) (Restaurant) KUNGSGATAN 50 “More or less a wine place, but still a small nice selection of Swedish and Danish micros. Quite cosy, though a bit hipstery/upscale feelingg to it. Very nice service, even though we just popped in for a beer or two. Menu looked good, but I had already eaten a while before visiting this place.“ |
| 52 /100 Umeå Folkets Hus / Teatercafét (Restaurant) SKOLGATAN 59 “Some local bottles, some local news, and a beer list inside menu. Helpful staff. Some knowledge of local brands, if you don’t expect too much.“ |
| 82 /100 RÅDHUSTORGET “Kort besök. "Feelingen" är väl något fancy-pancy, uppskattar kanske lite mer avslappnat och slitet stuk egentligen. Riktigt trevlig utbud, även om inte jättestort. Stort plus är själva "ölhyllan" där alla flaskor står på tydlig display, UTANFÖR bardisken. Som ett skyltfönster med öl. Dessutom med ölmeny i pappersform så det går att bläddra sig igenom utbudet, sorterat efter stil. Trevlig personal.“ |
| 70 /100 The Bishops Arms (Umeå) (Bar) RENMARKSTORGET 8 “Snabbvisit, svårt att göra en rättvis bedömning. Typ standard Bishops. Ganska trist utbud på tapp och inte jättemycket spännande i kylarna, men helt ok standard ändå.“ |
| 58 /100 Pipes of Scotland (Bar) VASTRA NORRLANDSGATAN 17 “In the same building as Hotel Aveny. Vouchers from the hotel may be used in the pub. Surprisingly good selection of local beers.“ |
| 68 /100 NYGATAN 22 “Divided in 3 parts. Very "english". Some Fullers. Music from the 60s and 70s. Relaxing.“ |
| 66 /100 Systembolaget Rådhusesplanaden (Umeå) (Beer Store) RÅDHUSESPLANADEN 6 E “Close to the main bus-stops in a pedestrian area. Lot of local beers. Easy to navigate between the shelves.“ |
| 66 /100 The Bishops Arms (Umeå) (Bar) RENMARKSTORGET 8 “Nice library in the back. Service may be slow.“ |
| 80 /100 Systembolaget Strömpilsplatsen (Umeå) (Beer Store) STRÖMPILSPLATSEN 29 “Not as good as the Ersboda location in regards to range in stock. But great service.“ |
| 92 /100 Systembolaget Ersboda (Umeå) (Beer Store) FORMVÄGEN 4 “One of the best Systembolaget stores I’ve visited in Sweden, both in terms of service and selection of beer.“ |
| 80 /100 NYGATAN 22 “Nice pub to have a meal and a couple of craft beers. Usually a bit noisy. Not my first choice for a romantic date. Latest visit was before they started brewing.“ |
| 74 /100 Rex Bar & Grill Umeå (Bar) RÅDHUSTORGET “Only visited for lunch when living in Umeå, multiple times. Nice place and good food menu.“ |
| 80 /100 The Bishops Arms (Umeå) (Bar) RENMARKSTORGET 8 “Nice selection of craft beer. After remodeling the place feels a lot more inviting.“ |
| 56 /100 Runt Hörnet (Umeå) (Restaurant) KUNGSGATAN 50 “Hip place with funky rhyrhms from real vinyl dj, a gastro menu with small dishes, a beer menu with 30-40 beers, among them apx 15 local ones. Found one light local beer and enjoyed the rhythms, though any vocals never appeared. Interesting place, which has a potential to become even more interesting.“ |
| 80 /100 The Bishops Arms (Umeå) (Bar) RENMARKSTORGET 8 “An impressive selection in craft beer and whisky makes it hard to decide what to go for, expecially since there is no menu - You just have to look at the fridges and know what you want.“ |
| 80 /100 Rex Bar & Grill Umeå (Bar) RÅDHUSTORGET “Was there for a weekday lunch, got impressed by the bottle list and enjoyed the experience throughout. Definite recommendation!“ |
| 58 /100 Hundra (Restaurant) VASAGATAN 18-20 “Located in Umeå City-centre, a bit east of the main square. The only place you get Beer Studio Guitars - The Amplified Ale, and they have it on tap. Nice menu. Clientel mostly local artists in music or other cultural activities. Not a noisy place.
A ratebeerian should visit this place early evening or late afternoon, asking for that guitar beer. And possibly another bottle or two,, local brews.“ |
| 80 /100 Pipes of Scotland (Bar) VASTRA NORRLANDSGATAN 17 “Easy interior, knowing staff, quality on taps, interesting fridge with a great selection of bottles from local brewers, as Nausta and Bryggverket a.o. Absolutely a place a ratebeerian should visit while staying in Umeå Sweden. I found a couple of rare ones from Nausta, and became very satisfied.
New visit 2016, found a new again. Good place!“ |
| 72 /100 NYGATAN 22 “Nice interior, quick staff, cozy athmosphere. Björkstadens Brewery has at least 3 beers all the time on their taps, and their local patriotism is good, as they have Nausta, Kallholmen, Bryggverket, BeerStudio, Westerbotten and South Side on their menu (1/2015). Absolutely a place a ratebeerian should visit during a stay in Umeå Sweden.“ |
| 80 /100 Systembolaget Ersboda (Umeå) (Beer Store) FORMVÄGEN 4 “Located north-west of city centre Umeå, with the widest range of beers among SystemBolaget’s shops in Umeå (3 in total at 2015). Helpful staff, easy to find the beers, nice displays, local beers from Umeå and the Västerbotten County (Län).“ |
| 58 /100 Systembolaget Strömpilsplatsen (Umeå) (Beer Store) STRÖMPILSPLATSEN 29 “Alright standard beer selection as usual for SystemBolaget. About same size as SB in the centre of Umeå, but somewhat smaller than Ersboda northwest of the city centre.“ |
| 86 /100 Rex Bar & Grill Umeå (Bar) RÅDHUSTORGET “Friendly staff (including 1 norwegian one) welcoming you just inside the door on western corner of the old city hall building in centre of Umeå. Impressive printed menu, including eighty beers, both local and international interesting beers. 11 taps and almost 100 bottles. Umeå brewers were represented very well. Nice bar to visit early in the evening. Good burgers.
Update; downstairs Rådhuskällaren, bottled beers displayed in a huge glass cupboard. More than 100. Rex and their basement is absolutely a beerspot.“ |
| 62 /100 Rost Mat & Kaffe (Restaurant) SKOLGATAN 62 “Small cafe with 40-50 seats, nice menu with delicious sandwiches and baguettes. Smiling and friendly staff.
They have no taps, but 10-15 bottles, with at least 50% focus on local microbrews. Alright place to start, as they close earlier than the others.
“ |
| 74 /100 The Bishops Arms (Umeå) (Bar) RENMARKSTORGET 8 “Located in a business city block, but with the expected pub’bish interior. Good focus on local brewers as Westerbotten BeerStudio Kallholmen Nausta Umea etc, usual selection on taps,
friendly athmosphere and staff, tasty burgers, a bit stiff prices - 11 euros a local craft beer. I’ll visit it again though.“ |
| 68 /100 The Bishops Arms (Umeå) (Bar) RENMARKSTORGET 8 “Place looks like any other The Bishops Arms. Visited with oh6gdx and agree that tap selection was a bit boring but bottle sortiment was quite interesting with lots of local bottles. Service was friendly and knew about the beers. Place was full packed during the Saturday afternoon! No single seat.“ |
| 72 /100 NYGATAN 22 “English type clean, big pub. It is a brewpub but they have lots of other beers too including other locals. Bottle sortiment looked also quite good. Service was good and pulled pork BBQ burger ok. One of the must places to visit in Umeå.“ |
| 80 /100 Rex Bar & Grill Umeå (Bar) RÅDHUSTORGET “A cosy restaurant, which is in several parts, one restaurant for dining (table reservations needed, seems to be very busy on weekends), a bar part, where you can just drop in for a beer or seven andthen they have a coctail lounge downstairs. The beer selection was a rough 70-ish when I visiited, and the bartender said he tries to rotate the beer selection monthly. Has both local brews as some well chosen beers from abroad. Fast and very friendly service, the staff seems to be knowledgeable and have an interest in what they do as well.“ |
| 76 /100 The Bishops Arms (Umeå) (Bar) RENMARKSTORGET 8 “Pretty much looks like most Bishops Arms in Sweden do. The tap selection did look a bit boring compared to some other Bishops Arms, but the bottle selection looked quite decent with many local brews as well as a bunch of for instance Danish beers. The times I’ve been here it’s been very crowded, but still the service flows really smoothly and the bartenders do take time to answer questions even though being very busy.“ |
| 70 /100 NYGATAN 22 “Apart from being a brewpub, this place carries a bunch of other microbreweries products as well, Nausta, Kallhomen, Westerbotten and South Side to mention a few. Friendly service, and the food is well worth the money and the wait. At times a bit slow, but then again that’s what happens when places get crowded. Nice and cosy place where you can go for both good eating, and still welcome if you only want to have a beer and chat.“ |
