While I wasn't here very long, I had such an enjoyable time here. I had some friends who have…read morepreviously been to Oslo and they immediately told me, "check out London Pub. You'll have a blast. Make sure it's karaoke night". I love watching karaoke so I was all about this. I wasn't sure if it was karaoke night, but I figured, regardless, I wanted to check this place out. I think I strolled in around 10:30-11:00 maybe? A few people out front smoking. Inside are two levels- the top a dance floor, the bottom, the pub. Two people were upstairs, that's it. I actually think they were employees just sitting there waiting for customers, but there were none. The action was downstairs. To my luck, it was karaoke night. I walked down the steps and immediately heard a rousing rendition of, "Careless Whisper". I knew I was in the right place. I picked up a rose cider which was around $12 USD and was able to sit down in the front row. A few songs played on the video screen accompanied by a girl who was interrupted by a very drunk man during her rendition of, "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it). A few Norwegian songs were song, along with a couple American ditties that I can't remember. Sadly, karaoke ended at midnight, at least that evening. I laughed a lot that night. Such great energy and atmosphere here. When I'm back in Oslo, I'll be back at the Pub for sure.

Very cliquey.

Personally I think it is a great place to spend a few hour after work. Ett Glass have a great location near Karl Johan. It originated as a Gay-bar, but today you find all kinds of people here. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm, and the service is decent. The bathrooms are located in the basement, which feels like a workout after finishing a couple of pitchers. One of the steps are slightly higher than the others so watch out for that, I have all most fell down the whole staircase a few times. Either way, cozy spot down town Oslo.

I guess that is a bonus for us! :) There was a little bit of confusion when one of us requested a gin dirty martini. The bartender informed us that it will take a minute because he needs to get cucumbers. Husband and I looked at each other in confusion - what kind of a dirty martini requires cucumbers? After some communication, the confusion was cleared and we received a well-made dirty martini. We also ordered a local beer (forget the name), which was ok. We were hungry by this time, so we ordered the Norske delikatesser which is a sampler of various Norwegian meats and cheeses. It is good for a light dinner, but nothing memorable. The ambiance of this place is interesting. It is a mixed crowd and the ambiance changes rapidly from many couples having dinner to a party scene after 10pm. A nice place for people watching and getting a drink before moving on to another place for dinner.

Elsker is currently the gay club to go to in Oslo. The club features 3 floors and 3 bars. It brings…read morea mix of LGBTQ and many strait people. Unfortunately on Saturday night I found myself surrounded by more women on the dance floor than men. The age tends to be 20-30's. The first floor is a bit campy. It has a small dance floor, couches, and lots of soft chairs. Music is mostly pop. The second floor is mostly a dance floor, DJ, stage, and they have a few seating areas for large groups. The Friday night I went they had a drag show on stage that started at 10pm. The drag show was just ok, but it was very popular! Music is mostly dance. Typically the 3rd floor is only open after Midnight on Friday/Saturday. It's a bit more classy club feel. Large booths for groups, go go boys, a smaller dance floor, a bar, a cage for dancers, etc. the go go boys were cute, but terrible dancers and didn't know how to interact with the crowd. Music is mostly techno. A beer is about 86 Nok and a mixed drink is 116 Nok. No cover before 11pm.

It might have something to do with the friends who drag me here, but mostly it is because they play feel good music, which puts the biggest smile on my face. If this was a review of my over all night It definitely would get 5 stars, however, I have to bump a lot of starts of this place because of a few reasons: 1. the bathroom situation 2. the sticky floors 3. the bad bartenders No matter how much fun your night is, it is never fun to go into a bathroom that is messy. And to be honest, the bathroom here is almost always a mess, which is to be expected at a club, but it is not excusable. The most annoying thing about Elsker however is the awful wall to wall carpet. It goes up the stairs from the entrance to the second floor, and it gets socking wet by drunk people spilling their drinks. Definitely do not put on your favorite $300 shoes thinking you will look fabulous all night, because your shoes will not survive, and you might cry when you get home. Crowded clubs generally means crancy bartenders, and Elsker is no exception. Had it not been for the over all fun times with friends and good music, I probably would not go here.

The service is impeccable with a staff who is very knowledgeable about the intricacies of the menu and super in tune with patrons. This bar has a very cool way of crafting drinks as an ode to the relationship between Norway and the United States. It's a beautiful science of all of the senses. We had every specialty drink on the menu (except the one with the gold coin). Some places have a hard time executing on really great drinks, service, AND ambiance... this place does it all with excellence. The drinks are high quality, intentional, and amazing. The food (we had the sliders) also caught us off guard with how good it was. From our seats at the bar, George was an incredible bartender! We're so excited to see how the menu continues to transform with the seasons, offering new and exciting cocktails. We will absolutely be back and recommend Pier 42 to anyone we can!

Well, some stayers have frequented this place the last 20years. A relationship that has lasted longer than their marriage, probably. You go here if you like to show that you like rock and if you don't care about showing nothing at all. The latter are not the hipsters ;) It used to be packed, but the hip factor has cooled off. Good! The interior is not. Which is part of the whole atmosphere. And the pictures- epic shots of old rock heroes, make many of us nostalgic and remembering when we were in our 20s. Oh well. The only minus is the selection of beer. Hansa on tap. Come on! A tourist or a new inhabitant? You just gotta have a beer here. Period.
