Jæger is considered a club but I would categorise it as a bar. It has a large outdoor smoking area…read morewith heat lamps and then there are two bars, one upstairs and one downstairs. The music is varying as the djs change all the time. So it's difficult to say but generally when I have been there it was quite danceable beats. The crowd is really mixed with a lot of foreigners and ages from early to late 20s. What I don't like is that you have to pay a fee at the door which for me unless a place is a proper club it doesn't make sense to me. Also the line can be quite big so it's better to go early. Jæger is a place that is usually crowded and something is happening there so I would definitely go back. Just would make sure to avoid the queue and wouldn't wear my fanciest outfit as it's a very laid back and crowded bar.

One can sit and enjoy a drink there, where the music is not as loud making it easy to talk. The dancefloor is downstairs so one can dance with louder music there. There is also a patio where people can go to smoke with heat lamps. It has a nice interior in general with lots of wood which makes it quite warm. The problem is that you never know how many people are inside as you can't see in. So you might end up paying 100 nok and the place is empty. I have heard it's better on Saturdays and I was there on a Saturday and it was quite full.

This is based on a Sunday afternoon visit with free music on the terrace. It was very crowded, which would be fine but some of the locals acted like they own the place and we're a bit pushy. Also, the music was average. What they don't tell on the website is it's also karaoke And most of what I heard wasn't that special. If you visit Sunday, maybe go earlier to stake out a table. Even if I had a table in this instance, I don't think I would've stayed long because of the music. It was old time jazz, and a crowd leaning towards that age as well.

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.

We asked the doorman if the bar was open, but all he said was, "Hodor." "Charmed, I'm sure," I replied. After that enchanting exchange, we opened the door and PRESTO, we managed to walk in all on our own. There were few other humans or White Walkers inside, though that was no problem. We came for the party, but we brought the fun. SIM SALA BIM! We each paid the $25 entrance fee, which could not be waived with a wand, but at least it included one free drink token. Our instructions were then handed to us in envelopes hermetically sealed and kept in a mayonnaise jar since noon that day. "Sign your life away in vanishing ink and off you go," they stated. There was no fine print regarding vows to defend the wall, but we "took the black" anyway in the form of warm, medieval cloaks. We then conjured up some gloves, popped some chill pills, and transported ourselves via portkey into the frozen tomb. All about priorities, we bellied up to the bar and ordered, "A LA PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICHES!" POOF! Krekling Arctic Crowberry Frost materialized, served in glasses made of ice. The drink was pretty, super sweet, and Lady Olenna approved (poison stones cost extra). As our drinks slipped about on the icy tables, some guy named Jon passed by, mumbled something about winter coming, and then walked off. "You know nothing, Jon Snow," we soberly answered back. Feeling refreshed, we checked out the mesmerizing ice art around the room. The sculptures were all delightfully silly to take selfies with and helped to break the ice with strangers. Some of the art was interactive, leaving spaces in which to stick in your face, with or without a frozen expressions. We particularly enjoyed the ice Scream sculptures, which were cheeky nods to Munch and Dairy Queen. But the Pièce de résistance was the majestic ice throne in the center of the bar, sans icy Lannisters. Madonna's "Vogue" was playing at one point, so we played a little Game of Pose to decide who would win the coveted crowning. We spent less than an hour in the bar and decided in our mystical and borderline divine way that we needed to leave once we lost feeling in our faces and sandal-clad feet. Overall this was a fun experience, but once was enough hocus pocus for me.

The drinks are a little sugary; perhaps you should just go for straight up vodka or akvavit. It was also a little empty when I was there in Late December. I'm sure it gets busier at certain times. The best part of this place is the ice sculptures. Each year they have artists craft new sculptures in ice. You can view them as you sip on your iced drink and sit on animal fur atop ice blocks. It's worth a visit for at least one drink.

Wow! We came all the way from Gothenburg, Sweden to explore this place because of the pinball…read moremachines! We were not disappointed by the machines nor the beer selection! Pretty pricey though! Smaller glass than at your regular place. There is one bar, and it is located when you come in. This is also were the cool game tables are (yes, they are working - except for one at least when we were there). The same girl was working both Saturday and Sunday when they opened at 15.00. Super friendly! This place is so cool. To get the most out of it you probably must be a gamer. But, because of the super satisfying selection of beer - I guess being a beer lover is enough. But, according to the earlier reviews - I guess anyone into retro will be satisfied! All the other reviews have already told you about the interior and decor. Not many has talked about the pinball machines though. All together there are 10 - The Addams family, Family Guy, White Water, Scared Stiff (out of order), Tales of the Arabian Nights, Medieval Madness, Indiana Jones, The Shadow, World Poker Tour and Batman. It is NOK10 per credit (even if you are two playing). You buy tokens in the bar.On Sunday they have this deal - you get free plays when you buy beer or drinks in the bar. Fewer tokens for soft drinks though. But, we were lucky, we even got some extra free plays when telling about our crazy tour around Oslo. I was surprised how few people were there on a Saturday and Sunday afternoon. More games for us to play! It is definitely worth the trip if you're a pinhead or even wannabe pinhead and want to try out some different machines! Check out my list for more places with pinball machines. Unfortunately no AMEX and no wifi.

So there are bars and there are fun bars. Tilt definitely belongs to the second category. It is…read moresuch a hip place to be, with all sorts of people where you can play table shuffleboard and all kinds of electronic games. We had a 2,5 hour shuffleboard fun on a Monday night. At 18:00 when we arrived the place was half empty. By the time we were leaving it was packed of people and no shuffleboard tables were available. I think there were 6 tables all in all. So if you want to play, you need to be there early or you need to wait for someone to leave. The game is quite simple in its rules, but very hard to master. It is very hard to control the little round ball called puck. The puck slides very smoothly on the sandy table so you really need to master how much strength you need to use to send it to the other end without it falling off the table. The only negative side to the bar was the price of the beer. However it was a Christmas beer I chose and I guess beer generally in Oslo is expensive. I payed for mine 145nok so I would suggest you to check the price menu before you order. On the bar side there are tables for people to hangout and have a beer. You can sit on the couches that have as a table an electronic game. So while hanging out with your friends one can always play. I definitely suggest Tilt for at least a one time experience to everyone as shuffleboard is a lot of fun!

You can see that from two things: the interior and the crowd. A very broad mix of people on their mid 20s. A large percentage of the crowd is also foreigners and probably it's because of the music. The music is RnB mostly, very very danceable. So if you wanna dance to some good music it's a good place to be. On the negative side there is often a queue on weekends in order to get in, to get a beer or visit the toilets. So it needs patience. Also it's a bit hard to dance as there are a lot of people on the dance floor and you are pushed around. Would probably go back, but would make sure not to wait too long at the line.
