Ok lets face it, the night-life in Kiruna is hardly award winning in any way. This is a rather small city and does not offer great variety. The crowds going out are most often the same people from time to time, and the chances are quite high that most locals going out already know each other, if not as friends then at least by name and/or rumour. This is both a blessing and a curse, depending on circumstances. People tend to drink quite heavily and most would never talk to strangers, but some would love to, don't give up!However this does not mean that going out in Kiruna is not fun. Sure after a few times it starts to feel a bit repetitive which might not always be bad but going out a night or two can often be quite fun, just don't expect too much, take it as it is, ignore things that bother you and enjoy the night!
The most popular place is currently the nightclub at hotel Ferrum mostly at room 208, which usually has an age restriction of 23.Babylon formerly known as Arran is for the younger crowd and thus often a little bit noisier. From time to time they have 30++ nights also. The two central bars O'learys and Caffreys can offer less crowd and a good enough environment for a beer or two after a long day.Friday and Saturday are the main days for going out, but Wednesdays "little Saturday" can sometimes get lively as well.
