No joke: see you tonight.

Gothenburg has a reputation as Sweden's chattiest city, and YesTonite makes saying hi even easier. See who nearby is out tonight and meet before the evening is over. Free and for everyone 18+.

Where Gothenburg goes out

  • Avenyn
  • Linnéstaden
  • Långgatorna
  • Järntorget
  • Haga
out tonight

Just the right size, rather wet

Gothenburg is just the right size: Avenyn, Linné and Långgatorna are within walking distance, and a night often moves between all three. The city is full of students, so things happen midweek too, and the tone is easygoing. People love a joke here, and a truly bad pun is often the start of a good conversation.

Rain comes with the territory, so most things happen indoors, in bars and music venues around Järntorget and Långgatorna. In August Way Out West takes over Slottsskogen and the whole city gets a festival feel. With YesTonite you see who else is out tonight and can tag along or suggest something yourself.

Friday and Saturday are the biggest, but as a student city Wednesdays and Thursdays are lively too. Many meet early in Linné and move on to Avenyn later.

Where Gothenburg goes out

  • AvenynKungsportsavenyen, the city's big boulevard with clubs, bars and terraces.
  • LinnéstadenLinnégatan and the blocks around it: restaurants and bars for a calmer night.
  • LånggatornaAndra Långgatan and its neighbours, with rock bars, small venues and late nights.
  • JärntorgetThe square between Linné and Långgatorna, a natural meeting point.
  • HagaCobblestones and cafés, cosy for an early start to the evening.

How it works: three steps.

  1. Say you're out

    Switch on "out tonight" and you get a green dot. It turns off by itself in the morning.

  2. Send one message

    See a photo and an age, say something, and the chat opens for both of you. No matching first.

  3. Meet tonight

    Pick a place, or join an event nearby. Same evening, not three weeks of small talk.

Events anyone can host

Anyone 18 or over can host an event: a night on Långgatorna, a group going to a gig, an evening walk in Slottsskogen or a rainy board game night. Open events you join straight away; for closed ones you request a spot, and the address is only shown to those who are in.
