Wow, what an amazing cocktail (koktail?) bar! Himkok had delicious, expertly crafted drinks that…read morewere so tasty and interesting. I tried the Plum first, and it had the exact flavor profile I was expecting; tart, with a little sweetness underneath. I then got their drink closest to an old fashioned, it had a chocolatey undertone and tasted delicious. It was so good, I have to admit I got a second! Service was outstanding, super friendly staff and it was fun getting to see the magic in action while sitting at the bar. The space is quintessential cocktail bar; dim lighting, music at just the right volume to allow for intimate conversation, and an all around relaxing vibe. Very glad I found this place during my time in Oslo!

I am so happy I looked this place up ahead of time and that my husband and I went in. If you love…read morecraft beer (local, American) this is your place! It's a tap house with over 50 draft beer selections (including ciders and sours). They also have wine and bottled beer. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and I heard a ton of shuffleboard tables upstairs. The bar manager Pierce was so friendly and fun to talk to. He was insistent that you sample the beer before you order it- my kinda thing! We had a wonderful time and conversation with him. If you're in Oslo, don't skip this place!

Posthallen Drinkhub is a playground for anyone who loves a good cocktail. I tried a Negroni from…read morethe Red Drop and a Pina Colada from Guilty Pleasures and honestly, there's something for everyone here. Whether you're in the mood for a classic or something playful, the menu delivers. The space itself is a vibe: industrial-chic with warm lighting, big enough to feel lively but cozy enough to actually chat without shouting. The bartenders are friendly, know their stuff, and are happy to guide you toward your next favorite drink. Heads up: the "official" opening hours say 2:30PM, but the bar really gets rolling at 3PM, so plan accordingly. If you're in Oslo and want a bar that balances inventive cocktails, a welcoming atmosphere, and a lively crowd, Posthallen Drinkhub is a must.

I have loved the Mikkeller brand ever since discovering it in Copenhagen a few years ago. It has…read morebeen quite amazing to see how fast it has grown and spread internationally in a few years. On a Wednesday night it was not too busy and we sat at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and gave us her time even though a short line was forming. She helped us taste the ones we wanted to try and started a tab for us. She then efficiently handled the other customers. It is a cool atmosphere and the second bartender who came was also pleasant and helpful. They helped to recommend places nearby to eat. In all I would say this bar has excellent customer service, better than I expected. The beer is great and there are many guest brews. You can get wine too at this location. I will be back when I'm back in Oslo.

If you're a mikkeller fan, definitely stop here. They had a variety of different beers on tap. I…read morewent for a blonde lager. There's also some outdoor seating. Good stop!

Pier 42 is the hip cocktail bar located in the lobby of the Ameriklinjer hotel across from the Oslo…read morecentral train station. As we were staying in the hotel, we decided to pop down for a drink. Their cocktails are formulated around art and music with fanciful concoctions based on iconic Scandinavia art (The Scream), literature (peer gint) and more. I tried the peer Gint and my wife a cocktail inspired by a folktale. Be sure to sit where you can watch the bar maestro mixing things up-its quite a show by itself. A bit pricey but very unique

Really shocked that Pier 42 doesn't have a billion 5-star reviews…read more Our second visit to Oslo and this bar, and they continue to prove why they're award winning. 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!

He provided excellent service and was helpful throughout our visit. He explained everything, especially each of the art drinks, and at one point the flower from the drink ended up in the water he started us out with and kept refilled all night. He was there instantly to scoop up the flowered water and to replace it with a new one. Sylvester is a star. Our party tried the BEAUTIFUL, AMORE, GASP, EYES GOING INTO THE TOP OF THE HEAD AND FLUTTERING PAINTING, NEW YORK CITY POSTCARD and the GOD ALONE KNOWS. The first one actually tasted like chocolate in a drink. The New York City Postcard was solid. God Alone Nows smelled like egg and should come with a warning. That's also the one with the flower. This bar is ideal if you want a low key and fashionable experience, with pricey and fashionable drinks.
