Folk combines an oyster bar, foyer bar and natural-wine bistro with a cultural hangout. It is on Järntorget in Gothenburg, and its atmosphere blends a dining room with theatre, music and DJs. Locally brewed beer is also part of the offer.
Oysters cost 15 SEK each (about $1.40, or £1.15), and the venue suggests sharing them with friends over a glass of natural wine. Folk brings oyster lovers, wine enthusiasts and culture fans together around food, drinks and cultural events. Oysters and wine sit alongside theatre, music and DJs, so the bar is a place to eat and drink as well as spend time around its cultural programme.
Every Friday and Saturday, Folk has free live music from midnight to 3 am. In summer, an outdoor terrace just outside offers a place to sit. When temperatures drop, the rounded indoor bar is the place to be. The material describes both seasonal settings, but does not specify a typical visit length.
