    Grønn Eleksir
    Ida Iselin E.

    I love how it is popping up different cocktail bars all around Oslo, and Torggata Botaniske is definitely one that is worth checking out. It is intimate, the staff and most of the clientele are super friendly, and the drinks are pretty tummy as well. Torggata Botaniske is covered with green plants, which adds a special feeling to the place. The ambiance is absolutely amazing. It is young, it is trendy and the friendliness is at this place is unlike many other cocktail bars in Oslo. They seam to switch up their cocktail menu every now and then because I did not recognize any names on the menu from previous reviews. If that is the case I think that is a great idea. Since the cocktail menu is limited, regular guests get to explore more drinks! Perfect for a Sunday-fun day! As for the drinks me and my friends tried out, Green Elixir (grønn eleksir; gin based), Torggata Botaniske (rom based) and Hustler (høstler; gin based) they were all fantastic. The prices are alright, 121NOK for a drink, while you can get a glass of wine for 88NOK. Either way worth checking out, but if you want a table make sure to show up before 8pm because it do get very crowded on weekends.

    Great bar close to center city - my husband and I went around 11pm and it wasn't super crowded. Definitely a place to stop by throughout the night, but not really a place to sit and grab multiple drinks. I ordered the basil cocktail which was delicious, and we also loved the decor and ambiance of the place - very trendy. Would recommend, but definitely on the pricier side ($16 for a small cocktail).

    Fantastic! This was my favorite place out of all the places we ate/drank in Oslo. This is the kind of place that makes me want to live there. The interior is really cool. Vines and plants growing everywhere--you feel more like you're in a garden than a cocktail bar. They also have a whole wall at the very back where they're growing all the plants and herbs they use in the cocktails. The bartender was insanely accommodating. Even though the place was busy and he was the only one there, he walked us through every cocktail on the menu and explained the flavor profiles. The drinks themselves were amazing. Unfortunately I can't remember the names. Apparently the menu changes pretty often though, so maybe it doesn't matter. This guy definitely knows what he's doing.

    The Basil cocktail is probably one of the best drinks I've ever had!

    Amazing fresh cocktails, and really cute secret garden vibe inside. I love it here!!

    Hands down best craft cocktails I ever had. The ambience was very relaxing. I would definitely recommend Pisco pepper party.

    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!

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.

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 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.

    We'd enjoyed a series of great Nordic-style meals on our trip to Copenhagen and then Oslo. But, on…read moreour last night with our granddaughter in Oslo, we craved a change from all those delicious steamed-in-cream muscles, tasty baked salmon and classic smoresbords. Izakaya fit the bill. In fact, it may have ended up being the best meal of our week-long trip. Yes, as you've read and can see from other Yelpers' photos, it's teeny tiny inside. But, when you get lucky and get seated, it's nice and cozy. You certainly aren't merely one 2-top in a long boring row of tables that's for sure. There's no sign outside but because it has a distinctive look on the exterior (see photos of the heavy grillwork on the windows) you really can't miss it. A Yelper's description of 'Japanese tapas' is right on the mark, tho this is a bit of mixed metaphor. Dishes (especially the last two below) are relatively small. Maybe four dishes will do for two people but you'll likely end up as we three did: wanting a bit more. We started with the Gyoza. Definitely delicious and served piping hot. Next was Bang Bang Ji - shredded chicken, julienned cucumber, and a spicy sauce. Good and a nice prelude to the Mazemen. Our hands-down favorite of the night was the Mazemen, broth-less ramen with a delicious sauce, oil, and toppings. Especially delicious with the egg (poached?) mixed in. Had we immediately ordered another three more bowls of this wonderfully tasty dish I doubt if there'd have been much of an objection! Okonomiyaki - a savory pancake. Good. We didn't want to leave without a bit more. So, we ordered the Senmaizuke, pickled turnip and chili with a sweet, tangy vinegar marinade, and the Shiitake no fukumeni, mushrooms simmered in a sweet and savory broth. Both of these relatively small dishes were quite delicious - but really would have tasted best as early appetizers. The Kirin beer really hit the spot. Service was quick and efficient. Pacing was fine with no rush despite the line that had formed in the little foyer. YELPER HINT: if you're stuck in the line but thirsty, you can go on in and stand at a small (2 ft. wide) open section of the bar and order/pay for beers (not sure about their cocktails) and then re-take your place in line. In short, Izakaya could - and likely will - provide your tastiest, most interesting and perhaps even your most delicious meal in wonderful Oslo.

The bartenders were very professional and made each drink with same precision. They used fresh ingredients like fruits and herbs, hence made the drinks delicious. The prices were also normal. 110-20 nok for a drink more or less which I find reasonable. I had three different drinks and they were all delicious. One of them was a frozen mojito which tasted like fresh mint and was purely green! The other one was cucumber gin drink which purely tasted like cucumber. And the last one was in a huuuge glass with something fizzy and taste of citrus fruits, which was my favorite but can't recall the name. The music was loungy in the background, so not a party place. Rather a place to sit and have a chat. The interior was cozy with high and low tables. We were lucky to get a seat next to the bar, but in general terms the seats were constantly taken.

They serve most kinds of gin from most corners of the world with a creative, fresh-tasting twist that will blow your mind. They have two menus to chose drinks from, both a gin- and a cocktail-menu. But the list is long, and if the bar isn't too full I would recommend asking the skilled Masters of the Bar or simply going with the gin of the house with pomegranate (because behold, it's a sensation for the taste buds...and probably also the buzz). I'd say this spot is perfect for both groups of friends, a night out with the office or a date. The atmosphere comfortable with dim lights, lovely interiors and music to set the mood. Just keep in mind, the prices are a little stiff, but definitely worth the splurge.
