Stockyard Burger Joint

Stockyard Burger Joint at Storgatan 51 sits right off Avenyn, Gothenburg's main boulevard, and opened in 2014 as a burger spot grilling and smashing patties—they're the only place in town doing both styles. The menu sticks to a short list of burgers like the Hot n Smoky BBQ with a 180-gram patty, cheddar, jalapeños, pickles, and smoky sauce for 138 SEK, plus milkshakes, fries, veggie options, chicken wings, and their claim to Sweden's hottest burger at 10 million Scoville. It also has a bar with over 40 whiskeys, bourbons, and rotating craft beers. Rustic inside with friendly staff, it's cashless and stays open late—until midnight most nights, Sundays to 11 PM. Burgers come in three sizes, and they throw in smoked ribs, steak, and salads too. Head there on a weekday evening if you want a table without waiting.
