The Abyss

Bar ‱ Live music bar

👍👍 The stand up comedy show was so packed, I had to sit on someone’s lap. Maybe it was an amateur night or a fire hazard. It was free and the comedians were cheap. But hey, it was fun. People often mention good, metal, music, rock, staff, great, Great, beers, Gothenburg, beer,

    That's a metal pub how it should be! Good Pub Food, friendly staff, and for sure great music! Also the plenty different beers will make you stay longer to try as much as you can ... So for all the metalheads visiting Gothenburg, that's a recommendation!

    Best bar in town. We didn’t have to wait, the beer was cheap and good (so was the music). Thumbs up! (We even met great people!)

    This was the first time I've been here and I was there to watch some great live music by a great band called Chuck Norris experiment. It's a small place but a pretty cool place to watch alive band since you get up close and personal. They had some good specialty beers if you're into that. It seems as though they have some pretty good food but I have not tried it.

    Nice bar, good food and all the metal you like! I own my own metalbar in belgium, so i know what im talking about! Bartender called me gay though, cause i ordered "the wrong drinks" đŸ€Ł

    It was cool. They didn't have thay many cocktails available. Decent prices. Seating was a bit rickety and could've been higher quality.

    Even though I’m not a full-fledged metalhead and felt a bit like fish out of water (the place reeked of rock) I did enjoy the visit. The staff was accommodating and friendly, food was good. Sat outside in the afternoon sun.

  • 5/5 Robert P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great music (if you're enjoy metal) and a great atmosphere. Without a doubt the best rock bar in Göteborg.

    Everything a metal bar should be - if I lived in Gothenburg, I would be here every week. So sad to hear it will close soon.

    The place is pretty quiet during weekdays before 11 pm. On weekends though people arrive earlier, as expected. Pizza served here is ok. Abyss is equipped with a small stage for bands to perform on. Cozy place for metalheads who are into Kreator :)

    Great place and staff but the girls bathroom have a toilet without a lock that has not been fixed for a very long time

  • 5/5 Lisa G. 4 years ago on Google
    Really nice place for a fun evening amongst other metalheads! The music is good and the prices for drinks are OK for a Swedish bar. What really surprises is the food quality! We had two vegan pizzas that were both awesome and way better than we had expected! If you are into rock and some decent food/drinks, give it a try!

    (Translated by Google) A heavy metal pub with a heart! It always feels nice and welcomed at this place. The food is good, the beer is very good and the atmosphere is often top notch.

    (Translated by Google) Could be the world's best hard rock chop meeeen ... Beer cheap and good assortment. The pizza is super good but you NEVER get the food together. Had the staff been chopped they would have been indulgent but when the first person gets the pizza after 30 min and the next two 45 it is too bad. So great food when you get it, boring staff and nice place. (Original) Kunde vara vĂ€rldens bĂ€sta hĂ„rdrockshak meeeen... Ölen billig o bra sortiment. Pizzan supergod men man fĂ„r ALDRIG maten tillsammans. Hade personalen varit pĂ„ hugget hade man varit överseende men nĂ€r första personen fĂ„r pizzan efter 30 min och nĂ€sta tvĂ„ 45 sĂ„ Ă€r det för dĂ„ligt. AlltsĂ„ grymt god mat nĂ€r man fĂ„r den, trökig personal och gött place.

  • 5/5 Facundo P. 4 years ago on Google
    Great metal bar! Beer selection was ok but the staff was really friendly! The music was awesome from Black Sabbath to Carcass. The place is filled with metal posters and memorabilia, if you are a metalhead you just found your new favorite bar.
