WELCOME TO KARLSKRONAS PUB SECTION
The Pub Section and the student pub Villan
What is the Pub Section?
Karlskrona's Pub Section is a section under Blekinge Student Union whose mission is to run the student pub Villan. We who are in the section work voluntarily to run the pub and ensure that we students have a place to come to socialize and let loose after a long week of studies. Read more below!
What is the student pub Villan?
Villan is a meeting place for all students at BTH. It is open on Fridays and Saturdays during the semester and offers seating for socializing and studying, food and drinks for student prices and during our Pub Nights we open up the magnificent dance floor. We also host many sittings and other bookings where the only limit is your imagination!
The pub is run by volunteering students at BTH. These invaluable efforts make it possible to offer the campus the cheapest coffee, affordable refreshments, good food that doesn't swallow the entire student budget and a nightclub out of the ordinary.
The student pub belongs to the Karlskrona Pub Section under Blekinge Student Union, and is thus ultimately governed by the members of the union. The Student Union moved from Kårhuset Rotundan in 2018. Our motto is "By students, for students", because if the student pub is to exist today and tomorrow, it needs the commitment of students and it is we who together create the meeting place that we want. It's a changing job with opportunities for personal development and a great way to meet new people while gaining new experiences in a fun way! Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
Express your opinion about Villan
As mentioned, the Villan is a meeting place for all students at BTH. In order for all students to feel as comfortable as possible at the Villan, we in Karlskrona's Pub Section want to know what we can do to achieve this to the extent possible!
Therefore, we have posted a form that is COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS for you to like and write down any problems or other feedback regarding the business. Click the button below!
Activities
Pub Nights
Pub nights are held on Saturdays from 21:00 to 02:00, when we open up our fantastic dance floor for a great party. This is the perfect place to meet students from different programs at BTH in an environment with a strong sense of community at student-friendly prices.
After School
We hold our After Schools on Fridays or Wednesdays between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM and offer a fairly quiet and pleasant hangout with good food and drinks at good prices to kick off the weekend!
Sittings
Sittings are not usually organised directly by the Pub Section but are largely held at Villan. However, many times it is other parts of Blekinge Student Union that hold the sittings, for example one of our educational associations, which welcome the students to nice dinners with fun surprises!
Do you want to book Villan?
For those of you who would like to use the Villan for an event, it is available to book via the following form below. Remember to read the booking rules carefully. If you have any questions, please contact us at pubsektionen@bthstudent.se
Rules
Note: The swedish alcohol law
We, like every other pub in Sweden, follow the swedish alcohol law, therefore:
It is forbidden to bring in and consume your own alcoholic beverages in our premises.
It is forbidden to take bought beverages with you out from our premises.
You must not be visibly intoxicated on our premises.
To enter Villan
In addition to always being able to show valid identification*, you should also be:
A student or staff at BTH
Alumnus with BSK-supportmembership
Student and a member of any SFS-affiliated union.
(Om du är medlem i BSK har du som gäst gratis inträde på Villan. Däremot, om du är medlem i en SFS-ansluten kår men not BSK, you must pay an entrance fee of 40 SEK, but do not need to show guest identification).
* By valid ID we mean identification documents issued by government agencies. These are:
Swedish driver's license
Passport
International ID-card
A BTH-card IS NOT a valid type of identification to get inside Villan.
However, it can still be used to verify if you are a member of the Student Union when you leave you check in at the wardrobe.
Purchase Warning and Purchase freeze
In the event of a purchase warning, no alcoholic beverage may be purchased. Guests who purchase alcoholic beverages for a guest with a purchase warning risk receiving a similar warning themselves.
In the event of a purchase freeze, the guest must leave the premises immediately.
The Wardrobe
Outerwear and bags should ALWAYS be hung in the wardrobe! You have no use for them indoors regardless.
We also do not take responsibility for what is left in the wardrobe
Smoking
The Act (2018:2088) on Tobacco and Similar Products has, among other things, introduced provisions on more smoke-free environments, such as at entrances to premises that the public has access to.
This law makes it illegal to consume tobacco on our premises and in the queue to Villan. Sanctions can and will be assigned against violations of this as our alcohol permit may be revoked.
Note: E-cigarettes are included in this.

Vomiting
If a guest vomits inside the student pub, they will be charged 400 SEK for the incident.
In case the guest is not in a stable enough condition to pay, an invoice will be sent to the person in question for the event.
Emergency Exit Band
Pulling the emergency exit handles in a non-emergency situation will result in a charge for the incident. Having to vomit does not count as an emergency.
In case the guest is not in a stable enough condition to pay, an invoice will be sent to the person in question for the event.
For everyone's comfort
- No form of harassment is accepted on our premises!
- If the staff thinks you've had too much to drink and shouldn't have any more, it's almost certainly true.
- Respect our workers! They work for you on a voluntary basis.
- Glitter is forbidden in these premises! This is because loose glitter can disturb visitors and damage the interior.
Other notes
- The word of the evenings manager is what counts!
- Areas marked with staff only are for staff only and are off limits to guests.
- It is forbidden for guests to go behind the bar, use the elevator or take any other way in or out than through the entrance door.
- You break it, you buy it. Applies to all forms of vandalism and graffiti.
- Keep your clothes on, you're not supposed to be a professional underwear model here.
- Look after our premises and take care of our pub. It's run by students, for students.
ACTION IS TAKEN IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OF THE RULES OF ORDER.
Get involved!
It should be easy to get involved with us, we welcome all students to be part of our team! Working at the student pub is not like working at other workplaces, we work with each other, for each other!
You don't need any previous work experience to get involved. We'll teach you everything you need to know through separate training days - stay updated about these days via our Facebook page and Instagram page. The only thing expected of you is a happy and open attitude, and comfortable shoes to work in.
You can find out more about the different job positions available below:
• Wardrobe
• Bartender
• Kitchen
• Dish picker
• DJ (after agreement with us)
• Responsible Server (own training)
To make you feel comfortable working in all our different positions, we organize job training at the beginning of the fall semester where you have the opportunity to learn about everything. Once you have completed our training, you will become a Pub Hero with us!
To sign up for an evening to work at, go to karen.bthstudent.se. You use the same login as on the student portal.
We are sometimes told that we work for free because we are volunteers, but this is not true.
Working as a volunteer at the student pub means that you contribute to the common good of Karlskrona's students by giving up some of your time. This is of course something we are extremely grateful for, and want to reward in every way. Every shift that you have worked counts. In addition to working and meeting new people, every shift you get benefits, food and free access to coffee, tea and soft drinks during your shift. Once at the end of the term there is also an invitation to a "Thank You" sitting, this is a way for the Pub Section to thank those who have volunteered and food and drink is provided in the form of a sitting. Anyone who has worked five volunteer shifts during the term is welcome.
In addition to these benefits, as a volunteer you have many moments of joy, new friendships, work experience, training and other forms of activities and events to look forward to!
