Dickens is a drink-to-get-plowed bar on the Stavanger waterfront.
They sell beers that go down easy and don't taste like much so you will have thirty eight of them.
They have sports on TV.
The food is all globalized food like pizza.

Why am I bothering to review it at all?
Because globalized food in Norway is not the same as the globalized food you get at home.
The nachos they serve here are a definite eyebrow raiser.
These are neither Texas nachos nor Mexican nachos.
They take flat circular tortilla chips out of the supermarket bag and layer them on a pizza board.
They cover these with cheese so that the concoction melts into a pancake.
There are chips ON TOP of the pancake, and jalapenos on top of that.
The top chips char which is okay. Your nachos now have a top.
The whole thing is served with a bowl of room temperature salsa out of the jar that you dump on top.
Note that Norwegians make pancakes and they make very good pancakes.
So turning nachos into a pancake is a natural for them.
I prefer Tex-Mex nachos, but these were an interesting change of pace. read more
