Lund Nightlife
Most dance clubs in Lund operate only on weekends, when the clientele includes many students from the university. The hottest spot is T-Bar, in the basement of Tegnérs Matsalar restaurant, Sandgatan 2 (tel. 046/13-13-33). There's also a dance floor in the basement of the already-recommended Gloria's Restaurant/Sportbar, every Friday and Saturday beginning at 10:30pm. Entrance is free. Another dance choice, also open only Friday and Saturday, is the Palladium, Stora Södergatan 13 (tel. 046/211-66-60), a beer pub with a college-age clientele. Admission is free.
With its small dance floor, Basilika, Stora Södergatan 13 (tel. 046/211-66-60), occasionally hosts live bands from England or Europe. The big nights here are Friday and Saturday, when a 75SEK ($15/£7.50) cover charge is imposed. A final hot spot is Stortorget, Stortorget 1 (tel. 046/13-92-90), which has a DJ at night and a surprising age requirement (for a university town): You must be over 22 to enter.
