Upcoming Gigs

If you’re searching for authentic heavy metal bars in Gothenburg, you’ve found your sanctuary. Located on Andra Långgatan, just a short walk from Järntorget, The Abyss is the beating heart of the city’s rock and alternative scene.

We are a dedicated rock club and pub created by and for metalheads, serving up cold beer, killer burgers (with great vegan options), and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere where the volume is always turned up.

Delicious food & cheap beer next to Masthuggstorget
