For many Örebro University students, Örebro Kårhus—or "Kåren"—is best known for its lively intro/Orientation Program(OP) nightclubs. But Kåren is so much more than just a party spot. Whether you’re looking for a cozy café, a vibrant pub, or a place to dance the night away, Kåren is the heart of student life. Here’s everything you need to know about this versatile student hub.
Kåren by Day: A Café with Affordable Lunches
From Monday to Thursday, Kåren transforms into a relaxed café from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm, providing a perfect space to study, socialize, or grab a quick bite. The café menu is diverse, offering a selection of baguettes, paninis with various fillings, and focaccia. Plus, they serve three types of lunch meals to keep you going through the day.
For drinks, you’ll find the cheapest coffee on campus, along with options like different types of soda, hot chocolate, chai lattes, hot and iced tea, and energy drinks for that midday boost.
One of the café’s highlights is the special soup lunch available on the last Thursday before the 25th of each month, priced at just 20 kr—a steal compared to the usual 55 kr lunch price.
Kåren by Night: Pub Vibes and Tasty Food
As evening rolls around, Kåren takes on a new life as a bustling pub, offering not just drinks but also hearty meals. The pub’s menu features a variety of burgers (beef, chicken, and halloumi), alongside fries and kebab fries—with a vegetarian kebab option available. For lighter bites, students can enjoy onion rings, mozzarella sticks, or chicken and chili cheese nuggets. Kåren’s pub nights occasionally feature a unique beer pricing twist, usually on the last Thursday before the 25th of the month or during special events like Oktoberfest. The price of beer starts at just 20 kr, and with every passing hour, it increases by 1 kr. This adds an element of excitement, encouraging students to arrive early and enjoy the best deals as the evening progresses.
Community and Fun: Quizzes and Karaoke
Beyond food and drink, Kåren is a social hub that brings students together. Every week, the pub hosts a music quiz, where you can team up with friends to test your knowledge and compete for prizes. If singing is more your style, Kåren’s karaoke nights, held every other week, give you a chance to take the stage and belt out your favorite tunes.
These events, whether competitive or just for fun, are key to building friendships and creating lasting memories, helping Kåren foster a welcoming and lively student community.
Unique Themed Events
One of the most exciting aspects of Kåren’s nightlife is its themed events, which change things up and make each night special. Past themes have included “Glitter and Glamour” and “Nostalgia”, where students can embrace different styles and enjoy a unique atmosphere. These themed nights are always popular, and you can stay updated on what’s coming next by following Kåren’s Instagram, where they regularly post about upcoming events and themes.
