Love the vibe! Multiple stories - different spaces. A library style bar to a more chill loungish place. You have everything here. Especially nice after a full day or walking and sightseeing- A cold beer feels lovely :-) read more

I was sooooooo happy that amongst all the random things that were closed in Oslo while it was a (1) weekend (2) a sunday (3) new years (4) xmas that Kulturehuset remained open. I'm always a sucker for good coffee and this is one of the few places in Europe that delivered. This place is cute, quaint, cozy and serves beer too. You can find the coffee shop in the front and the beer bar in the back. They have free wifi and amazing banana nut muffins. I know that's so weird, I'm not even usually a muffins person but this was one delightful muffin. Great place to relax, and unwind after a day of sightseeing! read more

Awesome intimate study and hang out spot. Feels like a renovated warehouse with lots of Kulture.

I have never been so jealous of another city for a coffeeshop until now. Kulturhuset is everything I've ever wanted from a coffeeshop and more. Good coffee? Check. Good food? Check. Enormous space and several floors? Check. A library room full of fine leather-bound books? Check. A space for public lectures and concerts? Check. Several pub-style bars for drinks? Check. For those who have been to Powell's bookstore - the enormous, city-block-sized book store in Portland Oregon that is three or four stories tall - this is the equivalent for coffee shops. It is huge. It is full of different rooms each of which feels different and has a different energy. It has everything. read more

Free wifi, lots of space to settle down and use your laptop, plus plenty of power outlets. Prices seem reasonable given the location. Coffee was good, sandwich was huge and fresh (salmon and avocado). Slight downside was lack of food choice. Would definitely come again, great place to get settled on a sofa, read a book, and drink warming beverages. read more

I've been here before for a glass of wine, but what brought me around this time was the baked goodies and fresh pressed juices by PUR Oslo. And boy oh boy was I not disappointed! I ordered the emergency cookie which I reluctantly shared with someone, along with a grapefruit ginger juice and the chocolate torte. I LOVED it. Did I mention the majority of it is gluten free? The branding was adorable and sleek, the ingredients were pure quality and the entire concept was well thought out. I'm in love. In addition I was able to sip my juice out of an adorable straw. Pure class. Ill be back....today actually! :) read more

Kulturhuset - Love it all! - Cultural Center Near Me - Oslo, 03

I must stop here at least once a week for a latte to go out just to sit and read for a bit. Love the baked goods they sell, they're really good quality. All of the events really make this place fun. All kinds of people seem to like this place, you can find everyone from students to pensioners hanging out which I like. Come during the afternoon you won't regret it. read more

Really interesting place, very big inside with lots of nice little areas to sit, sample the fine beer selection and visit the lovely coffee bar too. We just went for drinks but there seems to be a lot on from Ping Pong to music. Would certainly recommend read more

Kulturhuset is one of my favorite place in so many ways. Go there I'm the daytime for a focused working space and have a paleo style salad or a raw cake with your coffee (the raw cakes are the best I've had in Oslo!). Or go there on a weekday evening for a debate, concert or other event (free entrance) and have a beer from the well assorted menu. Or why not doing your over time work with a beer and funky music? You will not be alone in doing so - Kulturhuset works as an office and a second home for many. The big seating areas are often fully packed, so you might have to wait some time to catch a seat - but it usually appears quickly. Pricing is reasonable for Oslo, and the atmosphere is friendly. If you want some more sturdy food than what the café offers - it is allowed to bring something from a local restaurant to have with your drink. Wholeheartedly recommended! read more

A cool place to be on a Friday or Saturday night. Full of people with a good atmosphere, lots of room, happy music and good crowd. Avoid coming after 24:00 as a long queue builds up. The regular beer costs 81 nok. It gathers up many different types of people but generally speaking a good crowd. A dance floor is created after a while and the music becomes more danceable! However it is a very small dancefloor, so it tends to be a bit crowded. There are also games to play such as shuffleboard and table tennis. The place is huge so if it seems full from the outer windows just go in as the inside extends a lot in depth. There are more than one bars and plenty of seating everywhere with low and high tables with stools. The music is much lower in the start of the night and becomes louder around 23-24. So it can be a pretty good start for a party evening or a good place for a chill night with with the possibility of dancing and being a bit more crazy. read more

So Kulturhuset have become my go-to place in Oslo, mostly because I haven't been back for that long, I know how to get there, and my friend generally seam to hang out here. Don't get me wrong though, I do love it. It has a very relaxing atmosphere, tablets scattered around, big bar area, shuffleboard and other fun things in the back, they also have different cultural events going on which is awesome especially when they are free. (Not always of course)! The other week they hosted a concert with Hosier, which was awesome! I do not feel like I have adequate experience to comment on the prices as I haven't lived in Oslo for about 4 years, however I assume the prices are "normal" for Norway. As for the crowed at Kulturhuset, it is super mixed. You can seriously find all sorts of people here. I have come to understand that my time of the week at Kulturhuset is definitely weekdays. The weekend people are to often to drunk for my liking, but that generally goes for most places I have been to in Oslo since I got back. read more

Thank goodness that this place exists. This is one of my favorite places to go to while in Oslo. I came here for the first time on a date and I've consistently been back here ever since. This has everything I want in a place - cool books, affordable drinks, space, a cafe, multiple floors of seating, great music, and good vibes. Also in an amazing location. read more

Went there at breakfast/lunch time, got a salmon salad. Turns out the raw salmon was 3 days old. I just thought my taste buds were acting funny because salmon in Norway was usually much better, but then I saw the date and it was from 3 days ago. As a customer you should not have to worry about looking at the dates of the produce. And they should not be serving raw food that was prepared over 3 days earlier. And the place is not cheap, a mediocre cheese and pesto sandwich is 100 kr. I give it 2 stars instead of 1 because the atmosphere in the place is nice. Don't go there for good "bakery/cafe" food though. read more

Nice environment to meet people professionally buy also socially. The second floor in their new building is essentially a coworking place. My only complaint is the prices...after they moved to the new location there has been a steep increase. A single ice coffee is about 5 euro...also the food price has increased considerably. read more

Four of many random things that make me happy: beer, shuffleboard, almond milk cappuccinos (the only almond milk I've been able to find in Scandinavia in the last 2 weeks) & ping pong. They have all four ... plus great ambiance. read more

Came here to meet some coworkers after work on a Friday. I only got one beer, but it was really tasty. The atmosphere here is really cool... dim but lively. Tons of young professionals here after work. The bartender was very friendly helping me pick a drink. Lots of different seating options. Would definitely be a regular here if I lived in Oslo. read more
