Questo è probabilmente uno dei bar più intimi di Oslo, con spazio sufficiente solo per cinque tavolini. L'atmosfera è accogliente, in uno stile anni Cinquanta. La sua attrazione principale è il proprietario Jan Varden. È uno dei pochi norvegesi entusiasti dei cocktail, e le sue capacità lo hanno reso famoso. Questo è uno dei posti dove si può bere meglio.
Un posto del genere c'è in ogni grande città e per fortuna c'è n'è uno anche a Oslo: un posto dove si sente, vede e respira jazz. Herr Nilsen è un caffè piccolo e intimo con concerti ogni giovedì, venerdì e sabato. Le bibite hanno un prezzo ragionevole e il personale è amichevole. Si possono mangiare cose veloci. È il posto dove sedersi e rilassarsi in pace.

What's could be better than listening to some of the best DJs in Norway while surrounded by plenty of food, alcohol, and beautiful people? Perhaps doing all of that 12 stories above the ground, atop the historic Folkteateret building, with a beautiful panoramic view of the bustling city of Oslo would be an improvement. This is the premise of Stratos. For most of the year it is rented out for weddings or corporate events, but during certain holidays and the summer months it opens up to the public as a nightclub featuring live music, DJs, and an unforgettable view. Call or email for table reservations.

Il caffè nel Grand Hotel era uno dei preferiti del pittore norvegese Edvard Munch e del commediografo Henrik Ibsen (che conta ancora con il suo tavolo personale). Anche se non viene più frequentato dagli anarchici che bevevano assenzio e da pazzi artisti, Grand è ancora un importante luogo di ritrovo e offre deliziosi panini. Si possono assaggiare oltre a quelli anche dolci e insalate e il menù à la carte offre un'ampia offerta di piatti.
Dedicated solely to Jazz music, this nightclub is a cozy place to go, for all the devotees of Jazz music. This venue has over the years become a meeting ground for talented musicians seeking to explore different rhythms and explore the variations that can be created with jazz music. With a high seating capacity, this hall often tends to get crowded and finding seats is difficult so if you plan to catch up on one of the concerts happening there make sure you reach well in advance.
There are things that are more important than music, you will say. More important than dancing, talking, drinking. Are you thinking soccer? Andy's is one of a few pubs in Oslo where the real action does not happen at night, but around 4p on Saturdays and Sundays (later on some weekdays). Andy's is lively and welcoming to all soccer-lovers. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is just as good as that at a match. In short, Andy's is a great place to stop by if you enjoy soccer or enjoy watching people who watch soccer. Check out the website for more.
Oslo has several soccer teams, but it is only Vålerenga that is able to make people raise their voices, shake their heads in disgust, cry or laugh. Through years of scandals this working-class team has been able to come back again and again. Their fans, called "the Clan," populate a few pubs around town, Bohemen being one of them. Several TV screens make sure that everyone who has an interest in soccer is able to get a good view; the beer is cheap, and the atmosphere open and welcoming. If you want to see what real Norwegian soccer fans look like, Bohemen is the place to go.

The beer is inexpensive and staff and patrons alike are generally nice and welcoming. Even the bouncers have a nice reputation.
