Kondrad is one of those bars at Youngstorget that I visit when the lines are too long everywhere else. It is normally pretty full on the weekends, but on most occasions you manage to squeeze yourself through to the bar which makes it an ok place to hang out.
The bar is very small, and there is not a lot of seats. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. On one hand it forces you to be outgoing and talk to the people around you, however most Norwegians don't do that, so they will just run you over on their way to the bathroom without as much as a "I'm sorry" or "excuse me".
My least favorite thing about Konrad is their bathroom. It is just one big handicap accessible room which they easily could of turned into two stalls, but no. The bathroom line can take up to 10 minutes because it is only one stall. Also there is always that "one girl" (actually there is a lot of them) that just have to pee so bad that they end up cutting in front of everyone. It is super annoying especially because everyone in line obviously have to pee!
The best thing about Konrad is their inexpensive beer. Unfortunately I have had bad service here more than once so I am getting kind of tired of the place. I have encountered cocky, arrogant and self centered bartenders, but that being said a lot of them are quite nice as well. Sadly those few bad ones have ruined Konrad for me and now I only visit when there is no better option. read more
