Doc Lounge Malmö

More than just documentaries

""Doc Lounge" in Malmö is quite unique: it doesn't just screen documentaries, it can also host live music and much more in an old church turned night club!"

The concept of Doc Lounge is quite unique. Instead of just screening a well-curated selection of documentaries, the events can consist of live music, panel discussions and Q&A sessions with the director. Every evening is special, and the decoration of the venue and the programme is designed according to the topic of the evening’s documentary.
 
Doc Lounge events take place in Babel, located in Spångatan just next to Folketspark, which is an old church turned into a night club. I recommend coming early before the screening starts, so that you have time to grab a drink from the bar and enjoy the program and cool ambiance of the venue. The events tend to be very popular, so in order to secure your seat, you can also book your tickets in advance online.
 
Doc Lounge’s fall season starts in September, and the events take place on Tuesdays. Visit Doc Lounge’s facebook page for updated program and event information.

Kold

Gastronomic ice cream artisans

Personally, I like my flavors a little adventurous, the “Get it on” with goat cheese is a delight. For something refreshing, I love the “Key lime pie”...
