Gothenburg
What’s not to like? This champagne bar has an idyllic setting on an inner courtyard with uneven cobblestones, picturesque buildings and plenty of greenery. Along with glasses of bubbly, there are platters of cheese, oysters and cold cuts. Very popular with the boho-chic set.
Next door, Champagne Baren's sibling restaurant Unity Jazz hosts live jazz every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
