Post-modern cocktails on Hvitfeldtsplatsen, from the Adamo crew

Sway opened on Hvitfeldtsplatsen in early 2025, run by two bartenders with long careers in Gothenburg's bar scene who also run Adamo on Södra vägen.

The cocktail list changes with the seasons, mixing new techniques with familiar flavors under what they call a "post-modern" concept.

    Myself and a friend swung by here a week ago, and by far and away it was one of the most amazing bar experiences that I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. It's just a shame that I live in a different country so I can't experience it more! First off, the setting itself is exceptional. The decor, the ambiance, the open-plan style of it all makes you immediately feel at home or like you're enjoying a few drinks in your friend's apartment, except these aren't just "a few drinks". They're meticulously crafted, expertly made, and beautifully presented artworks that I'm not even going to begin to try and describe in fear of doing a disservice to the crew there. Julio was more than just a bartender by the classic sense, his warmth, knowledge, and accommodating nature broke down any walls of pretense. He wanted everyone to have the drink they want, how they want it, in the atmosphere they want, and despite eventually staying for double the time we expected (as well as ordering the entire menu and asking for every martini variant under the sun) he was more than happy to facilitate as well as have a chat about anything and everything to with the drinks and Sway overall. Even going as far as to offer a tour of everything behind the scenes, which was incredible. Which then leads to Christoffer, who talked us through the multi-day processes that go into the different drinks on offer, showing us all of the prep elements that go into making such masterpieces. Seeing just how in-depth everything goes, and how every drink is truly built from the ground up is honestly beautiful. As someone who works in the industry, the care and consideration that goes into everything behind the scenes is arguably as impressive as having the drink itself, which considering in that singular night I had some of the best drinks of my life just elevates the experience to another level. I can't sing my praises of Sway and the team there highly enough, it's been an experience that I've been thinking and talking about every day since I've visited, and a night that I'll remember for a very long time, if for no other reason than it gives myself as a bartender an aspiration point to strive for. It's crazy to have a realisation like that while having such a sublime night, in such a beautiful setting, with such amazing personalities and drinks!

    Just wow. Their "Tom Kha Gai"-cocktail may be the best and most ingenious cocktail i have ever tasted.

    Sway really knows how it’s done. Highly recommend if you want to have a well thought-out, curated cocktail made by the best bartender in Sweden.

    If I could give 6 stars I would. I’ve never experienced better service. The staff are personable, attentive, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. And this doesn’t even mention the quality of the drinks, which are… world class… phenomenal… transcendent. Please. If you go anywhere: Go. Here.
