Karlson’s Garage & Bar is a gastropub on Linnégatan in Gothenburg’s Linné district. Visit Sweden says it has been part of the street since 1996. The menu pairs Swedish dishes with newer combinations, giving visitors a choice between familiar food and something different to try.

The meatballs are a long-running item: Visit Sweden says they are made from the original recipe that has been on the menu since the beginning. Herring is another Swedish favourite on offer. The menu also includes creative flavour combinations and modern takes, though Visit Sweden does not name specific examples. The bar serves a wide range of drinks alongside the food. A visit can therefore centre on a meal, drinks, or both. For someone who wants classic Swedish food, the meatballs and herring are the dishes specifically named; for someone looking to try something new, the menu’s modern takes and flavour combinations are the other option. Visit Sweden describes the setting as cosy. It does not give prices or a visit duration.
