As we were staying in the hotel, we decided to pop down for a drink. Their cocktails are formulated around art and music with fanciful concoctions based on iconic Scandinavia art (The Scream), literature (peer gint) and more. I tried the peer Gint and my wife a cocktail inspired by a folktale. Be sure to sit where you can watch the bar maestro mixing things up-its quite a show by itself. A bit pricey but very unique

Really shocked that Pier 42 doesn't have a billion 5-star reviews…read more Our second visit to Oslo and this bar, and they continue to prove why they're award winning. The service is impeccable with a staff who is very knowledgeable about the intricacies of the menu and super in tune with patrons. This bar has a very cool way of crafting drinks as an ode to the relationship between Norway and the United States. It's a beautiful science of all of the senses. We had every specialty drink on the menu (except the one with the gold coin). Some places have a hard time executing on really great drinks, service, AND ambiance... this place does it all with excellence. The drinks are high quality, intentional, and amazing. The food (we had the sliders) also caught us off guard with how good it was. From our seats at the bar, George was an incredible bartender! We're so excited to see how the menu continues to transform with the seasons, offering new and exciting cocktails. We will absolutely be back and recommend Pier 42 to anyone we can!

We came in after dinner on a Friday night and waited a short time to be seated. We waited in the…read morelobby. Our waiter, Sylvester, was exceptional. He provided excellent service and was helpful throughout our visit. He explained everything, especially each of the art drinks, and at one point the flower from the drink ended up in the water he started us out with and kept refilled all night. He was there instantly to scoop up the flowered water and to replace it with a new one. Sylvester is a star. Our party tried the BEAUTIFUL, AMORE, GASP, EYES GOING INTO THE TOP OF THE HEAD AND FLUTTERING PAINTING, NEW YORK CITY POSTCARD and the GOD ALONE KNOWS. The first one actually tasted like chocolate in a drink. The New York City Postcard was solid. God Alone Nows smelled like egg and should come with a warning. That's also the one with the flower. This bar is ideal if you want a low key and fashionable experience, with pricey and fashionable drinks.

It's a tap house with over 50 draft beer selections (including ciders and sours). They also have wine and bottled beer.

He was insistent that you sample the beer before you order it- my kinda thing! We had a wonderful time and conversation with him. If you're in Oslo, don't skip this place!

I must say I have not visited many cocktail bars in Oslo. However this gin bar was very nice with…read moregood atmosphere and amazing drinks. The bartenders were very professional and made each drink with same precision. They used fresh ingredients like fruits and herbs, hence made the drinks delicious. The prices were also normal. 110-20 nok for a drink more or less which I find reasonable. I had three different drinks and they were all delicious. One of them was a frozen mojito which tasted like fresh mint and was purely green! The other one was cucumber gin drink which purely tasted like cucumber. And the last one was in a huuuge glass with something fizzy and taste of citrus fruits, which was my favorite but can't recall the name. The music was loungy in the background, so not a party place. Rather a place to sit and have a chat. The interior was cozy with high and low tables. We were lucky to get a seat next to the bar, but in general terms the seats were constantly taken. I definitely recommend this for a night startup or a cozy drinks night!

They serve most kinds of gin from most corners of the world with a creative, fresh-tasting twist that will blow your mind. They have two menus to chose drinks from, both a gin- and a cocktail-menu. But the list is long, and if the bar isn't too full I would recommend asking the skilled Masters of the Bar or simply going with the gin of the house with pomegranate (because behold, it's a sensation for the taste buds...and probably also the buzz). I'd say this spot is perfect for both groups of friends, a night out with the office or a date. The atmosphere comfortable with dim lights, lovely interiors and music to set the mood. Just keep in mind, the prices are a little stiff, but definitely worth the splurge.
