There are 5 active businesses in the category “Café, coffee bar or bar” in Varberg - 1.3 per 10,000 residents.
That is more than similar-sized areas (median 0.5 per 10,000). With the typical density you would expect about 2.
In the last 3 years 0 opened. Not available yet: closures are only known from 4 October 2026.
In the Swedish industry codes (SNI 2025), cafés, pastry shops, pubs, pizzerias, takeaways and restaurants share one code (56.110); only bars that serve drinks alone (56.300) and mobile food stands (56.120) have their own. Businesses with the restaurant code are counted as a café or bar, or as fast food, when their name says so – café, konditori, pub, bar, pizzeria, kebab, burger, takeaway and the like – and the rest as restaurants. The split is therefore approximate.
