Tapas and Global Flavors

Boca embodies the Spanish word for 'mouth,' inviting you to taste the world through its menu of small plates inspired by international cuisines. Share grilled meats where you select your own accompaniments and sauces, or opt for pre-composed dishes bursting with diverse flavors. The tapas selection draws from Mediterranean roots with creative twists, perfect for lingering over bites that spark conversation and discovery.

Cocktail Mastery and Bar Atmosphere

Two expansive cocktail bars anchor Boca's energy, serving drinks of international caliber with influences from every corner of the globe. Mixologists craft concoctions that complement the food, from refreshing spritzes to bold spirits, all in a setting designed for savoring and socializing. The lounge area flows seamlessly, offering intimate nooks amid the buzz.

Seasonal Terrace and Weekend Vibes

During summer months, Boca expands into Västerås's largest terrace, transforming the space into an open-air haven for al fresco dining and drinks under the Swedish sky. Weekends amp up the tempo with DJ sets from late evening, turning the venue into a pulsating spot for dancing and nightlife without losing its culinary focus.

Afterwork Rituals

Midweek afterwork draws locals with special bar pricing until 8pm on Wednesdays through Fridays. Fridays feature a complimentary taco buffet from 3pm to 6pm with any bar drink purchase, blending casual feasting with the start of the weekend. An 18+ age limit ensures a mature crowd, fostering easy mingling.

Modern Convenience Meets Tradition

Streamlined QR-code ordering via the WEIQ app delivers food directly to your table, with a 5% discount on meals, though traditional menu service remains available. Nestled on Stora Gatan in Västerås's lively core, Boca's interior mixes cozy seating with ample space, though note it's not wheelchair accessible. Operating Wednesday to Saturday evenings captures the rhythm of urban night life.
