At Svarta Hästen, the chessboards are yellow and red, the pieces perfectly weighted, and the wine list carefully curated. The most striking feature of the interior is the custom-designed chess tables, crafted by furniture maker and artist Kim Björnson from Gothenburg. The bar is built entirely in elm wood, providing a warm contrast to the Giancarlo Piretti chairs from Castelli. The wine bar accommodates 20 chess players, with additional space at the bar for walk-in guests. For those looking to sharpen their skills, personal chess coaching is available by appointment.
This is a place for people who enjoy the atmosphere of a lively venue but also appreciate engaging socially and stimulating the mind. Everyone is welcome to experience chess and wine here—regardless of skill level.
