I am extremely indecisive with cocktails & the bartender offered to make me something based on what I like. The drink he made was an outstanding blackberry gin cocktail.

Really laidback with Polaroids all over the walls & some nice booths. Just a great place in Bergen! Might go back tomorrow tbh

Craft beer heaven! This has got to be a one of a kind thing in Norway.. Bergen was our first stop…read moreso we were lucky to drink here but after leaving Bergen, there was no other place like it. Even stopping at the Ægir brewery in Flåm, they had less than 10 beers on tap while Henrik had almost 50! Not only that, they have a really great variety of unique flavors like an Imperial Stout with Guava.. You read that right! They don't offer flights, which is unfortunate, but even though they only have 1 price per beer on their menu, the bartender told us we could get the smaller 0.3L pours. We went that route so we could try several different beers. Also great at giving recommendations if you're torn between beers as you definitely will be with the tremendous variety. Skål!

After our late arrival into Bergen we decided to eat some Norwegian fish dishes at Pingvinen…read more We arrived at the right time and got seated at the back table. Service was fairly quick. Menu contained a number of Norwegian dishes of seafood, meat (including reindeer) and vegetarian. We knew ahead of time we wanted to try the plukkfisk and gratinated fish pie. The pie was the best dish for us that night. It had a nice and creamy texture along with a crunch on the crust due to the frying. It was a light dish compared to the plukkfisk. The plukkfisk was quite heavy with this fish/mashed potato mixture and while the fried bacon added some texture it could've used a little more acid for our tastes.

We had a busy day in Bergen at the tourist stops, and headed into this pub to get out of the rain and the hustle and bustle of downtown Bergen. This pin was great. They had a decent selection of Scotch and Whiskey. The prices were steep as everything is in Bergen. They do not let you order a double as this is a rule in Norway. We could only order single shots at a time. Why? I don't know. This is a nice, quiet, relaxing pub to stop and get a drink. When we went, there was a local band playing and a lot of locals were hanging out here. I recommend this pub if you're looking for a relaxing hangout place.

Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits…read more A mere salmon toss away from Bergen's harbor fish market is the hybrid Irish pub/sports bar phenomenon known as Scruffy Murphy's. You know you have to investigate any pub with a name like that...especially when a five o'clock shadow is involved (though it's not required for admission). We had plans for dinner elsewhere, but decided to pop in for a quick drink and to check out the scene. Things were looking a bit hairy as to whether or not we'd find seating with the front patio full, and with most of the tables occupied on both floors of the dimly lit pub. We hoped to score one of the cozy nooks with a couch, but we settled with snagging the last window-side high top facing the fish market instead. It turns out we had prime pedestals for viewing the fishy pedestrian traffic, even if we felt a bit crowded in our spot. Surrounding us was a rowdy gaggle of locals watching the World Cup on several large screen TV's, some surely "Liverbirds" (the local Liverpool F.C. fan club that meets at the pub regularly.) "Liiiiiiiiverpooooool!" Service was prompt, and within minutes, I was drinking a Bavarian Erdinger Weissbräu while listening to country music in an Irish Pub in Norway! Jawohl! Prost! Others in our group ordered Hansa to restore our Norwegian street cred crushed by my German order, and a couple pints of Guinness crowned with shamrock foam art completed our round. Our only complaints were that our table was too close to those neighboring us, and we didn't find the bar stools to be comfortable. Other than that, we enjoyed our time at Scruffy's, though we aimed to find less touristy pubs for the remainder of our stay in Bergen. The drinks and laughs poured freely, we appreciated the casual vibe and built-in entertainment between the window and soccer fans, and the location was perfect for taking a break from sightseeing and shopping downtown. Check it out...it just might grow on ya. I give this bar 3.4 Liverpool fan shouts of "You'll Never Walk Alonel!"
