Lund is a small city in southern Sweden that is dominated by the university and its students. The students at the university are both local and international students who enjoy themselves as a community, away from the society. These associations and nightclubs are known as “nations”. The students have a lot of fun and the nightlife is quite pulsating in the city.
Some of the popular bars and nightclubs in the city include Café Ariman, Mejeriet, & Bar (and/och bar) and Basilika. Ariman is a relaxed café located behind the Cathedral that offers great music as well as food. Mejeriet is the most popular place in the city for live music offering a mixture of everything from jazz to clubbing and salsa to rock-n-roll. Originally known as Kulturmejeriet, it is located at the southern end of Stadsparken Park.
&Bar (and/och bar) is a nice place to have a drink. The place serves good food and the DJ plays lounge/mainstream music. It is located behind the bust station at the Mårtenstorget. Basilika is a popular nightclub that is most visited despite being very small. It is very popular among the young crowd.
Dance clubs in the city generally operate only on weekends when the clientele includes students. T-Bar located in the basement of Tegnérs Matsalar restaurant, Sandgatan 2, is the hottest spot in the city. Gloria's Restaurant/Sportbar has a dance floor and is open on weekends (Friday and Saturday) with free entrance. Palladium located at Stora Södergatan 13 is a beer pub with a dance floor and free admission.
