I visited this place while I was passing through Norway on vacation from America.
They gave me the option to tip, which was surprising, but whatever.
There was a man in the corner with two foreign girls he'd bought rounds for showing them pictures of cars he owned for the entire two hours I was there. Just flipping through pictures of mufflers and engines, while they "Hmmmm" and "Ooooh"'d in mock-amusement.
My boyfriend and I basically spent our entire night there getting drunk and people-watching on the patio, which was really nice and had a ton of seating. Saw a drunk dude trying to scale a building while his friends pulled him down.
Oslo is such a funny place to go out drinking. We even saw people puking in front of the palace on our way back to our hostel.
I couldn't stop laughing the entire night. Can't wait to visit Oslo, again. The people here are wild. read more
