It's really long and walking from one end to the other does take a couple of minutes. There is a very long bar in the center and lots of tables along the length of the bar. They also serve food but I did not try the food here. They have a huge list of craft beers and cocktails and will also make you something on request. The staff were nice and friendly albeit a bit slow. The atmosphere is really nice and it's warm and cozy in here. A nice place to stop for a drink while in town. You can also go and get some nibbles upstairs in the food market when open.

Well apart from it winning in the length, I really like this place. It has a cosy atmosphere with its dim lighting, wooden touches and long tables. I like that the bar is long and no queues are really formed. You can order food at the bar as well. Have not tried it but looked delicious. They have an interesting variety of beers and one can find a beer for each taste. However a good cocktail menu is not missing. I love all the little signs that are hanging all around with funny quotes like this one: "if you are not drunk by 2 am how will all your friends know that you love them!". Great place for a chill beer. Look for the program as well as they often have live music.

Just because it "fits" doesn't mean it looks good. Granted the bar can't control who comes here...well they can, but they wouldn't have a lot of customers if they denied these girls. The bartenders here suck too. They have no idea what Midori is, which tells me you need to take yourself out of the bartending game. The floors and tables tend to be sticky and the bathroom is filthy. This is just not the place for me and I would rather cross the street and go to Justisen, which is probably one of my least favorite places in Oslo.

This review is long overdue but I feel like it is still very much relevant as Wallmans Salonger is…read moreone of a kind in Oslo. Wallmans unique concept is pretty much self explanatory: dinner and a show! You get what you pay for at Wallmans, not all seats are equal in terms of view of the stage, and obviously the "better seats" are a bit more expensive, and bigger groups unfortunately are often seated towards the sides therefore they do not always see the stage directly. I do see some reviews saying you cannot see the menu before hand, however that this is wrong! Most of the time there is a few menu selection, but sometimes there is a set menu without selections. Either way all food concerns can always be accommodated if you contact the management BEFOREHAND! We have never had any trouble switching out an item because of allergies and so on. At Wallmans the staff is polite, and the show is entertaining. They switch shows once in a while so it is not always the same, but the show do run for a good period of time. Do keep in mind that it can be up to 550 people being served all at once so sometimes you will have to wait a bit longer for your food and your drinks than at other restaurants. Still Wallmans is a great time. Be patient and enjoy the show! It is the perfect spot for the yearly Christmas party with your coworkers, for celebrating your mothers 50th birthday or just any event that you want to be a little special!

I liked this place a lot. Usually, I'm usually not such a fan of restaurants in this area, as the…read moreservice tend to be sucky, but with Escalóns entry, I might have to reconsider. The service was very good and our waiter both friendly and quick to keep those beer glasses filled, which we like. We were served some of the best tapas I have tasted in a long time, completely void of oily sausages and over spiced meat balls. Our mixture of scallops, hare, fish, veil and mussels were prepared to tasty perfection, without leaving us with that classical "oil and sause everywhere" feeling that tend to follow the tapas experience, at least here in Norway. I almost felt like I was eating healthy, and I mean that in the best possible way, not the "carrot and dry celery" kind of way. We visited on a Thuesday, so the place weren't busy and the atmosphere was very quiet. Still, we liked the interior, and the layout of the tables made us feel quite secluded from other parties, which is a good thing when you're a Norwegian and prefer to mingle only with the people that you came with. With Escalón, I might just have found my favorite tapas place in Oslo.

We ordered the 8 course menu with a Prosecco as a welcome drink. There were many exciting varieties consisting of fish, shellfish, meat and a dessert. Some of the dishes challenged the taste buds but it was very tasty. The only thing that was a little bit 'disappointing' if I may say so, was the meat course which consisted of a kind of taco-course with pulled pork and tortilla. Please don't misunderstand - it tasted good but compared with the rest of the dishes it was a little bit more like something you serve home with your family a a Friday evening. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. The interior is stylish and has an exclusive touch. Are you are a party of several persons who want to enjoy a good meal in a social setting, this place is perfect.

The berry sauce was outstanding. I put it on every bite. The lamb burger was a marvelous mix of ingredients on a soft bread. The orange spicy sauce was tolerated by Mr. Bland.

We arrived and the outdoor sitting area was sooo cute like a beergarden with most people drinking (not eating). We went inside and the bartender first didn't seem to care but a waitress greeted us and told us to just find a seat and she would bring us the menu. She was very kind, she also explained how things work..you order by the bar inside, they give you a pager to pick up your food. Hubby ordered the Norwegian meatloaf (meatballs!) With gravy and I opted for a pork dish. The food on the menu was not cheap! Average around 179 kr! We also ordered 1 Pepsi and 1 glass of beer. Total for our meal was 528 kr = 65 usd! The food came within 15 minutes. Portion was ok. Not American size but not small, enough. They were a bit on the salty side, especially the meatballs. The berry preserves that came with it helped to tone down the saltiness a bit. Loved the mashed peas that came with the meatballs though. My pork dish was ok, the meat had little amount of fat so some parts was a bit dry. I didn't care for the wine sauce that they drenched all over the meat and palenta. I prefer the parents with no juice from the pork stew. The beets were good. Also on the salty side but not as salty as the meatballs. The beer was good and refreshing but again not cheap at 68 kr (smallest glass). The place seemed very happening and we'll known by local and tourists (probably bc yelp and trip advisor gave it 4 stars)...imo, 3 stars seem more fair.
