After being politely shown the door on our first visit, stating no kids after 7 pm, we were told to…read morereturn the next day before 7, to try out their cocktails (and also to checkout the view) from their rooftop. Its a pretty difficult sell for a rooftop bar to a New Yorker, but then every rooftop also tells a story! And what a wonderful story it was! Nestled on the Eight floor of Grand Hotel, is this really well decorated rooftop bar with an amazing menu. A pretty fancy menu explains the different flavor profiles to order from along with ABV's - something we never saw on a cocktail menu! Docking one star only because they couldn't make the cocktail that I really wanted - a Rum Old Fashioned. Tried The Etoile (Penicillin) instead, which was very nice too and so was the counting sheep (Whiskey Sour). The views on a rainy/overcast day were pretty good too and we could only imagine how spectacular summer days in Oslo could be from this rooftop! Service was good, noise levels on the lower end. The Frosta Chips were tasty!

The bar has a nice view of the surrounding rooftops and even affords a glimpse of the water. I tried the etoile to drink. My cocktail had a tasty blend of flavors.

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!

We came in after dinner on a Friday night and waited a short time to be seated. We waited in the…read morelobby. Our waiter, Sylvester, was exceptional. 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.

The drinks are mediocre, and personally I feel the space is way to big. It does not have that intimate feeling that you want it to have. My first experience of Vérité was at a friends birthday party. We had reserved seats for 15 and were seated in a private aria upstairs which felt cold and impersonal. The place was way to big for 15, and once people started to leave we decided to cram ourself into the lounge downstairs which immediately felt better. We didn't goto a bar to be seated by ourself, obviously we go to a bar so we can also see other people. I am sure the upstairs space is nice for big groups that have a closed party of sorts, it just wasn't for us. My biggest disappointment of the night was my whisky sour. Normally this drink is on the sour side, but my drink was as sweet as a ripe orange. Actually it tasted just like orange juice, and that is not how you want your whisky sour to taste like! I appreciate that bars try to do something different with their drinks, but I expected my drink to have a sour lemony-whisky taste, and it did not. I ended up sending my drink back, but only to have them give me the exact same drink without any changes. My takeaway form this is just don't order the whisky sour, go for something else, like wine! Overall Vérité has a great location at Akerbrygge, with a slightly "high-end" clientele, however there are so many great bars popping up in Oslo that I just wouldn't spend much time at this location.

The concept is called social eating which means the food is placed on the table in dishes to share…read more A very conveniant concept - pretty much like tapas. 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.
