The Bishops Arms - Vaesteraas Sverige

Being an ex Västerås guy i am happy to return to this frist and original Bishops Arms. Have been a patron for 25+ years and it still is THE place to meet your friends. Feels as a sitting down in your favourite armchair! A very good selection of beer and whiskey. Served by people knowing their products.

I stayed at the Elite hotel and went here for a burger and a beer. My first impression, was where is the staff? The bar was empty for close to 5 minutes before I see that the same persons manning the bar, also did the waiting and cleaning of tables. A long and annoying wait, but from there on the serice was good. I chose the burger, and had a recommended beer. They even offered tastes of the beer when i ordered a big plus! The burger itself was not impressive, it was too compact and not a good texture for my liking. A bit too industrialized, and not a home made feeling. I ordered sweet potato fries with my burger, and was surprised when i saw that served as a side dish, in addition to normal fries that come with the burger. Unnecesarrily lots of fries for me, so i left the standard fries untouched. For me, this was a standard pub eating experience, nothing more except the offer for a taste of the recommended beer :

Very pleasant selection of beers and whiskey. A few new beers available every time I visit. Staff has good knowledge of the beverages they serve.

Attached to the hotel give it a unique audience, but it doesn't open until 4pm, forcing guests to find elsewhere of which there are great choices. the food served from the limited menu is mediocre and the service in the bar is very slow. it is popular and has a great choice of beers and whisky's

The staff was friendly, and the food was reasonably good for the price. As noted in other reviews, the service was a bit slow, but we were provided with drinks to help pass the time while we waited.
