If St. Patrick’s Day unleashes your mischievous inner Leprechaun, or that endless chase for the pot of gold leaves you a tad thirsty, come on down to your local in Malmö.
That’s right – Malmö is not just for the vodka-loving Vikings. The burgeoning city offers a handful of watering holes that claim to hold fast to the United Kingdom’s tradition of public houses.
While we give a nod to the pubs’ revolutionary contribution to modern society by first introducing the concept of the bar counter to order your brew, you might not find other traditional elements such as frosted glass windows that obscure your visit or the even more elusive snug.
You can, however, satisfy your pub grub cravings since most offer British delicacies such as fish and chips, bangers and mash, and shepherd’s pie.
The Pickwick Pub
Malmborsgatan 5
A traditional British pub with a relaxed atmosphere and decor that transports you to the UK. The Pickwick Pub boasts a broad portfolio of beers and offers a short menu of snacks and side dishes should hunger strike.
Monday nights are Monday Music Jam from 8pm, Wednesdays are the popular Quiz Night starting at 8.30pm and Sundays you can bring your four-legged furry friend who can order off a special dog menu.
Don’t miss the After Work specials Mon-Sat. until 7pm where you can guzzle your favourite brew for 55 kronor ($8.60) a pint. Dartboards abound.

Paddy’s Bar & Restaurant
Kalendegatan 7
