Sláinte Pub & Restaurang Travel Guide

Nestled on Bäckgatan 15 in the heart of Växjö, Sláinte Pub & Restaurang embodies the spirit of an Irish pub. Dark wood paneling, warm lighting, and eclectic decor create a cozy, inviting space where broad smiles and mighty craic flow freely. A quieter side room called the library offers a more intimate seating area, perfect for conversations amid the buzz. On weekends, the energy peaks with live Irish music drawing crowds that spill outside to the terrace in good weather.

The menu celebrates traditional Irish and pub classics with a Swedish twist. Start with Caesar salad or spinach salad before diving into mains like Harp-battered fish 'n' chips, bangers & mash, shepherd's pie, or Paddy’s corned beef & cabbage. Burgers shine with options like the Creekstone black Angus pub burger or spicy turkey burger. Sandwiches include lean corned beef on marble rye or fried oyster po' boy. Entrees feature blackened salmon and pub curry chicken, all paired with an impressive lineup of beers, whiskies, and ciders.

Sláinte boasts Sweden's highest Guinness sales per some accounts, alongside a broad selection of craft beers, ciders, and whiskies. It's a prime after-work spot with knowledgeable bartenders recommending pours. Live music fills Friday and Saturday nights with Irish tunes, fostering a festival-like vibe. Book ahead for weekends as tables fill weeks in advance.

Open from late afternoon into the night, with extended hours on weekends until 1 AM. The moderate price point suits casual diners and drinkers alike. Expect a lively, full house especially evenings and weekends, but the genuine hospitality makes every visit welcoming. Whether for a pint, meal, or music, Sláinte delivers Växjö's most authentic pub experience.
