Located under the Mathallen this is the longest bar in the Nordics that was built into an old steel…read moreworks factory by the water. It's really long and walking from one end to the other does take a couple of minutes. There is a very long bar in the center and lots of tables along the length of the bar. They also serve food but I did not try the food here. They have a huge list of craft beers and cocktails and will also make you something on request. The staff were nice and friendly albeit a bit slow. The atmosphere is really nice and it's warm and cozy in here. A nice place to stop for a drink while in town. You can also go and get some nibbles upstairs in the food market when open.

The longest bar in Scandinavia. That's what the sign says before you go in! And I must say I…read morehaven't been to such a long bar ever in my life! Well apart from it winning in the length, I really like this place. It has a cosy atmosphere with its dim lighting, wooden touches and long tables. I like that the bar is long and no queues are really formed. You can order food at the bar as well. Have not tried it but looked delicious. They have an interesting variety of beers and one can find a beer for each taste. However a good cocktail menu is not missing. I love all the little signs that are hanging all around with funny quotes like this one: "if you are not drunk by 2 am how will all your friends know that you love them!". Great place for a chill beer. Look for the program as well as they often have live music.

We just went to this restaurant today, looking for an affordable place to eat some Norwegian food…read more The evening did not end up well at all. Let me explain: 1. We waited for more than 10min to get the Menu (and because we finally asked the waiter to bring it! Otherwise we would still be waiting) 2. We ordered the specialties of norwegian cuisine (Cod and Reindeer) as we went there for this purpose. After 10 more minutes, the waitress (a different one from the guy who brought the Menu) told us that there was no Reindeer left. 3. We checked again the Menu and decided to order Deer instead. 10 more minutes and another waitress (the 3rd one in 30min!!!) comes to tell us that there is no Deer (and no pasta, and so on...) and that they are about to close the kitchen!!! :-o 4. To our astonishment, it was just 20:55 on a Friday night. Taking into account we arrived 30min earlier and nobody warned us about the kitchen being closed around 21h... we felt it was just an excuse for not having planned enough stock/food during Easter holidays. Obviously, we left the restaurant and went to another restaurant with food and much better service.

We really enjoyed this restaurant. We were traveling with family and needed a place to eat close to…read moreour apartment. Wait staff was very busy but took time to explain the menu to us. Very good craft beer selection and we all enjoyed the food.

Not my cup of tea but a perfectly fine bar in Strøget in Oslo…read more It has that shabby-Soviet-dark vibe. I have no clue how to really describe it, but let me point out it is NOT BAD, it is just well done, the music even feels like something they would play in the old Soviet. It has its own little charm, but you won't find my hanging out here. My main problem is however that it only has one bar. It is small, and I can totally see this place being packed on the weekend creating unnecessary long lines (don't shoot me if I am wrong because I actually haven't been here at night). They do on the other side have shuffleboard which is pretty cool, and quiz night every other tuesday. Basically the perfect "Soviet dive bar" if you are into that kind of thing.

This place was really cool. As a visitor to this fine country, we were looking for places that…read moredidn't scream "touristic" and this was it. Had a really cool theme--very punk rock. Felt like a cool local bar in new york or san francisco, but with a bunch of Russian counterculture all over the walls. The clientele was really awesome and we had some great conversations with a handful of cool Norwegian natives and immigrants. Would definitely check it out again.

So this bar is in the heart of Oslo near youngstorget. It's in an alley next to few other bars so…read moreit's a good place to go for drinks as you can just switch from one place to another very easy. Angst is a little bit divey kind of bar. You can see that from two things: the interior and the crowd. A very broad mix of people on their mid 20s. A large percentage of the crowd is also foreigners and probably it's because of the music. The music is RnB mostly, very very danceable. So if you wanna dance to some good music it's a good place to be. On the negative side there is often a queue on weekends in order to get in, to get a beer or visit the toilets. So it needs patience. Also it's a bit hard to dance as there are a lot of people on the dance floor and you are pushed around. Would probably go back, but would make sure not to wait too long at the line.

After drinking by myself for a little while, some of the local patrons and I conversed about a multitude of topics. They were hands down the nicest people I met during my Northern European vacation.
