An aspect of using restaurants in Gothenburg I found disturbing was the fact that we were not allowed in many of them, unless we handed over our jackets. When we came out these were handed back to us with a request for 15 Krona per person. We actually walked out without paying. After a couple of days spent in othe Swedish Cities in which this did not occur. We returned to Gothenburg.

We tried again. Several refused us entry because we failed to hand over our outer garments. We did later find a excellent place to enjoy a good meal where this did not occur. What happens in the summer, when outer garments would not be worn I wonder, are customers required to start undressing to hand over other garments?!

This is common practice in most Scandinavian nightclubs/fancy restaurants and should probably be noted in the main country page. Jpatokal 20:50, 12 March 2006 (EST)
