This is based on a Sunday afternoon visit with free music on the terrace. It was very crowded, which would be fine but some of the locals acted like they own the place and we're a bit pushy. Also, the music was average. What they don't tell on the website is it's also karaoke And most of what I heard wasn't that special. If you visit Sunday, maybe go earlier to stake out a table. Even if I had a table in this instance, I don't think I would've stayed long because of the music. It was old time jazz, and a crowd leaning towards that age as well.

Kind of a hip place with cool grungy vibes. Lots of people sitting outside. Drinks fairly reasonably priced. Enjoyed the fact that it's so close to the river.

One can sit and enjoy a drink there, where the music is not as loud making it easy to talk. The dancefloor is downstairs so one can dance with louder music there. There is also a patio where people can go to smoke with heat lamps. It has a nice interior in general with lots of wood which makes it quite warm. The problem is that you never know how many people are inside as you can't see in. So you might end up paying 100 nok and the place is empty. I have heard it's better on Saturdays and I was there on a Saturday and it was quite full.

When it comes to Tiki and it's rabid fan base, you'd best be buttoned up or just go back doing to Sex on the Beaches and call it good.

Well I was not amazed by this place to be honest. The music was ok, the crowd was average for my…read moretaste and the drinks were light. The good thing is the drinks were cheap. Or cheaper than other places I have been. So this club is below ground. You go downstairs and then there is the bar just when you enter next to the big dance floor. There is a second room too where there is different music and is a bit more intimate. In order to get in you pay the cover charge. I don't remember how much that was but it was above 100. In my opinion not worth for this place. It's a cool place to go dancing but it's slightly too divey for me. I must say I had a good time though! So I would go back if my friends were there. Don't know if I would pursue to go there, but I would join.

Unfortunately on Saturday night I found myself surrounded by more women on the dance floor than men. The age tends to be 20-30's. The first floor is a bit campy. It has a small dance floor, couches, and lots of soft chairs. Music is mostly pop. The second floor is mostly a dance floor, DJ, stage, and they have a few seating areas for large groups. The Friday night I went they had a drag show on stage that started at 10pm. The drag show was just ok, but it was very popular! Music is mostly dance. Typically the 3rd floor is only open after Midnight on Friday/Saturday. It's a bit more classy club feel. Large booths for groups, go go boys, a smaller dance floor, a bar, a cage for dancers, etc. the go go boys were cute, but terrible dancers and didn't know how to interact with the crowd. Music is mostly techno. A beer is about 86 Nok and a mixed drink is 116 Nok. No cover before 11pm.

It might have something to do with the friends who drag me here, but mostly it is because they play feel good music, which puts the biggest smile on my face. If this was a review of my over all night It definitely would get 5 stars, however, I have to bump a lot of starts of this place because of a few reasons: 1. the bathroom situation 2. the sticky floors 3. the bad bartenders No matter how much fun your night is, it is never fun to go into a bathroom that is messy. And to be honest, the bathroom here is almost always a mess, which is to be expected at a club, but it is not excusable. The most annoying thing about Elsker however is the awful wall to wall carpet. It goes up the stairs from the entrance to the second floor, and it gets socking wet by drunk people spilling their drinks. Definitely do not put on your favorite $300 shoes thinking you will look fabulous all night, because your shoes will not survive, and you might cry when you get home. Crowded clubs generally means crancy bartenders, and Elsker is no exception. Had it not been for the over all fun times with friends and good music, I probably would not go here.
