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, the members of the section, work voluntarily to run the pub and ensure that we students have a place 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 BTH-students. 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 BTH-students. These invaluable efforts make it possible to offer the cheapest coffee at campus, affordable refreshments, good food that doesn't consume 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 commitment from 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!
Express your opinions about Villan
As mentioned, Villan is a meeting place for all students at BTH. In order for all students to feel as comfortable as possible at Villan, we (Karlskrona's Pub Section) want to know what we can do to achieve this to the highest extent possible!
Therefore, we have posted a form that is COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS for you to share ideas 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 our fantastic dance floor for an exciting 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.
Afterschools
We hold our Afterschools 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 hosted at Villan. However, they are most often hosted by other parts of Blekinge Student Union, for example, one of our educational associations, which welcome the students to nice dinners with fun surprises!

For those of you who would like to book 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 and consume your own alcoholic beverages at our premises.
It is forbidden to bring beverages bought at Villan outside our premises.
You must not be noticeably intoxicated on our premises.

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.
Guestlisted.Note! Only BSK-members are allowed to guestlist others.
(Members of Blekinge Student Union have free entry to Villan. However members of a SFS-affiliated union that aren't members of Blekinge Student Unionhave to 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 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 do not take responsibility for belongings 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 forbids the consumption of tobacco inside our premises and in the queue to Villan.
Sanctions can and will be imposed when this law is broken since our alcohol license is at risk.
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.
Emergency exits
Pulling the emergency exit handles in a non-emergency situation will result in a charge for the incident. Needing 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 everyone's comfort
- No form of harassment is allowed on our premises!
- If the staff thinks you've had too much to drink and shouldn't have any more, they're most likely right.
- 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 responsible servers word 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, Villan is not the place to model your underwear.
- 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 on these occassions 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 sure you feel comfortable working in all our different positions, we organize job training at the beginning of the fall semester. Once you have completed our training, you will become a Pub Hero with us!
To sign up as a worker for an evening, 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 will hopefully experience many moments of joy, new friendships, work experience, training and other forms of activities and events to look forward to!
