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.

What can one say for one of the most diviest bar in Oslo! Well, cheap beer (48 nok) and lots of…read morestrange people! A mix that brings always to strange and fun situations. So if you are into just having a fun evening with people that can take a divey bar this is the place. Surprisingly ok toilets, not clean but usable. Great fun for a different night!

Shady as hell, but the cheapest place to drink in Oslo!! 50cl Ringnes for 49 NOK. I love it!!…read moreInteresting crowd and good music. Come here for cheap beer!!

I was smoking a cigar and stopped on the Buckley's patio (where smoking is allowed) for a beer…read more Sat there for a while and realized no server was going to come. So I walked inside (yes, admittedly breaking the no-smoking law) and approached the woman tending bar and asked her how I could get a beer. At this point we were both standing about three feet from the open door to the patio. Call me crazy, but I think she should have said, "Please step outside with the cigar, tell me what you want, and I'll hand it to you." Instead she sternly commanded me to leave immediately. Quite rudely. I was going to return later to hear a band but did not.

I'm an Engineer, age 56, working in Oslo now for a 6 month assignment. I was excited to find this…read moreplace since it looked like there were some fantastic jazz shows here. Then I had the unfortunate experience of meeting the owner, sitting with three other gentlemen, who seemed very amused at my questions about the beer menu. He made sure that he was served another drink (I could tell he already had a few) in the middle of my order to make sure I knew he was the boss. Then I endured another 5 minutes of ridicule (in Norwegian, but obvious) while I tried to enjoy my beer - I did not enjoy my beer and got the message loud and clear that this place was for Norwegians. Such a shame to own a club in an international city and look down on foreigners, it seemed so small and petty. There are many venues in this city to choose from, give him his wish and avoid this one.

This pub, unlike most in Oslo, has decent food and is quite nice inside. Nothing fancy, mind you,…read morebut a reasonably classy place. It's particularly good if you are a Liverpool fan and/or are looking for a place to watch some sports while eating a decent meal. I had the chicken salad and I can say it was the best chicken salad I have had in 5+ years living in Norway. The tables and seating inside are nice; in truth, nicer than most pubs. There is outdoor seating for sun seekers and smokers. Full liquor bar available. Congratulations, Tempest, you are now my favorite place to catch a bite and a game!
