To the north of the center of Oslo, nestled in a seemingly remote area of the city, the Biermannsgården rests. This little bar is housed in a yellow colored, small, lovely house, and at first glance does not appear as a bar. But step inside and you will discover a vibrant and creative scene. The inside, as is obvious, resembles a house, and it does appear as if someone who lived there just had this great idea one day to turn their abode into a bar. The Biermannsgården is mostly used for concerts that are very environment-centric, and which aim at spreading awareness about the issues affecting the environment. There is beer available, and sufficient seating, so there perhaps won't be any space issues.
