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!

I ordered a wheat beer and I think that sums it up: At Litteraturhuset you have all sorts of clientel! The place itself is rather spacious and the basement part served as a venue this evening for an event on band lyrics . Yes, there are often events related to litterature and other intellectual topics and you should follow their Facebook page to get updates. Litteraturhuset lies at the bottom of Majorstuen and next to the Royal garden - a nice location in summer, but rather grey and hidden away in the dark evenings of winter. Still, the place was full and is obviously pop. If on a roll, go by Lorry while at it- it's just around the corner!

It might possibly be an old, refurbished industrial complex or warehouse. Spent about 90 minutes in this place, and saw everything. Admission was free so that's a big bonus, especially on a rainy day :-). The staff is very friendly and you'll also find an attached store and modern vegan restaurant inside (which we're going to check out tonight). We left the place inspired by this well presented exhibition.

This was an experience! It's a local gastropub…read more It was our first night in Oslo and we didn't make it to the hotel yet. We needed a quick bite to eat and we were thinking bar, snacks, and small plates. The restaurant had a really nice modern and slightly upscale vibe . It was nice and cozy. The service was really good too with the waitress explaining the menu to us since it was a new tasting menu they were trying . I got a local beer and we tried the miso, glazed eggplant with non-bread and the lobster roll . Both items were extremely delicious and surprisingly filling for being small plates style . From what I've read, they have live entertainment and music upstairs on certain nights, but we came on a quiet evening. If you're looking for late night bar snacks and a nice chill atmosphere this is definitely a place to go !

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.
