I am extremely indecisive with cocktails & the bartender offered to make me something based on what I like. The drink he made was an outstanding blackberry gin cocktail. It was excellent & he was incredibly kind. He gave us recommendations for Bergen & went out of his way to help us feel welcome. The atmosphere is great as well! Really laidback with Polaroids all over the walls & some nice booths. Just a great place in Bergen! Might go back tomorrow tbh

After our late arrival into Bergen we decided to eat some Norwegian fish dishes at Pingvinen…read more We arrived at the right time and got seated at the back table. Service was fairly quick. Menu contained a number of Norwegian dishes of seafood, meat (including reindeer) and vegetarian. We knew ahead of time we wanted to try the plukkfisk and gratinated fish pie. The pie was the best dish for us that night. It had a nice and creamy texture along with a crunch on the crust due to the frying. It was a light dish compared to the plukkfisk. The plukkfisk was quite heavy with this fish/mashed potato mixture and while the fried bacon added some texture it could've used a little more acid for our tastes.

They have free wifi and the password is at the bottom of one of the blackboard behind the bartender. Opted for the reindeer filet and it was excellent. The reindeer was cooked to a perfect medium and seared to perfection on the outside. The flavors were excellent and this was served with a side of fried potatoes, green beans along with a bed of creamy mushroom. The vibes from the Gen Z staff were lit too. Seems like they were complaining about bf issues... Pricing may be elevated as I'm not sure if this was a tourist trap as I didn't see any locals. 495 NOK for lunch.

Craft beer heaven! This has got to be a one of a kind thing in Norway.. Bergen was our first stop…read moreso we were lucky to drink here but after leaving Bergen, there was no other place like it. Even stopping at the Ægir brewery in Flåm, they had less than 10 beers on tap while Henrik had almost 50! Not only that, they have a really great variety of unique flavors like an Imperial Stout with Guava.. You read that right! They don't offer flights, which is unfortunate, but even though they only have 1 price per beer on their menu, the bartender told us we could get the smaller 0.3L pours. We went that route so we could try several different beers. Also great at giving recommendations if you're torn between beers as you definitely will be with the tremendous variety. Skål!

It has a very thoughtful bar program and excellent cocktails that look to be made from scratch (not batched). You can also order classics off the menu or there are great scotches, whiskeys, even mezcal to drink neat/rocks. The vibe is chill and a bit upscale but not pretentious. There's a good mix of Norwegians, tourists, and expats who visit and it presented as a great place to meet people. We noticed some of the staff from other restaurants around town would come here for their after work drink if that tells you something. Special mention to Scout who was the bartender the several nights we visited. All around good guy who was very friendly with a great attitude. He also tends bar very well. He is efficient, quick, and attentive. I don't feel like I ever saw him leave people hanging waiting to order or for their drinks. Also Bella who was quite fun to talk with and made us feel right at home. Highly recommended!

The ice sculptures and creativity is just stunning. Everything's made of ice and is a work of art. I definitely recommend dressing warmly because the coat and gloves just aren't enough. It's freezing! Your body does adapt after some time but it's a lot more comfortable if you come prepared. The seats are also made of ice but are covered in furs to make you a little more comfortable. There are little seating sections, separated by walls, giving you a bit of privacy with your party. The lights are dimmed and the ice is lit up in beautiful colors. It's truly an experience. The bartender pops in and out, so that he doesn't freeze to death, so be patient. This was definitely a one of a kind experience. There are a few packages to choose from so you can tailor the experience to you and your desires.

We went late one evening to try it out, as none of us had been to a place like this before. Since they were in the process of carving new ice sculptors, admission was half price. For 100kr, we got a huge warm coat, gloves, and 1 drink. We had a blast inside. It was SUPER cold, but the attire kept us warm. We just couldn't take the gloves off for long. The bartender was really cool and hung out with us for a bit as it was really slow. There was a party of 3 when we first entered, but ended up being the only ones in there by the end. They had a pretty good drink menu, however the drinks were EXTREMELY weak. To the point where I didn't taste any alcohol and didn't receive any buzz. It was like drinking kool-aid. Other than that, it was a lot of fun, and we got some great pictures. They have music playing, so you can dance too.

There is seating in the front, and a big dancefloor and some seating and tables in the back. It's not as noisy in the front, but this is definetly not the place to go for a quiet night out.

On Fridays and Saturdays you have to be 23 to get in, which is a big plus for everyone over that age that dislike the other typical dancing places in town like Metro, which is usually overflowing with drunk 20-year olds.
