We planned our entire weekend around getting to enjoy this restaurant and brewery. We got in on the VY/ Flamsbana from Bergen and then met some friends who were taking us to Borgund Stave Church and up to Stegastein before our stop for an early dinner here before getting on the 5:00PM Fjord Cruise to Gudvangen. I had seen this place featured all over TripAdvisor and knew we wanted to spend our afternoon eating and drinking here. Whelp, instead we walked into a place barely staffed(we had to call into the kitchen to get anyone out), just to be informed they weren't serving food. Nowhere online did they have anything about the kitchen being closed during the day. Seeing we NEEDED FOOD, we decided to go to the food trucks that lined the block just around the corner for food, but weren't allowed to bring it in to have with our beer. It was also beautiful outside that day, so we asked if we could take our flight outside. The bartender then had to pass it through a special window, stating we weren't allowed to take it out to the "Biergarten" ourselves. The whole situation was just annoying and frustrating. In the end, I enjoyed the food I DIDN'T get from here with one or two of the beers in my flight.
I've visited multiple times over the years and the quality is very consistent! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, it's all delicious. We had the pig wing and a seasonal pork disk from the Yule menu a well as the Odin and soup appetizer. I couldn't pick a favorite as they are all very well balanced. The location is magical with the central fire and all the wood, carvings and artwork. They've taken great care to make it truly special and the staff is always wonderful. book ahead of time as they are quite busy. They usually find you a table but if you're traveling it's better to book than to wait.
The beer is good but far from the best microbrews ive sampled recently. Niki liked the rasberry beer she ordered. I taste it and to me the beer is washed out by the raspberry. It's OK I guess. I'm sure that they don't understand this but Mexicans really don't like to be referred to as taco. Maybe just calling it Lager Mexicano sounds better,. Also the male bartender was very rude about me not acknowledging the female bartenders welcome today. I simply did not hear her over the people talking and loud music. It's 12:35 and though it wasn't packed there were quite a few people inside.
We visited this warm and friendly brewery during a short stop in Flåm. The place has a great atmosphere like a Viking lodge. Rustic and warm. I tried the sampler but made my own- my favorites were the Porter and the Farmer's Ale. It was a great place to hang out on a chilly damp day. Would definitely recommend.
There are really only a handful of dining options in Flåm, and this seems to be the most consistently recommended restaurant! This might've been my favorite meal during my entire time in Norway. The entire experience was exquisite, with unforgettably tasty dishes and excellent service. The atmosphere was cozy and the viking-themed decor made the experience quite memorable and unique. My partner and I ordered the tomato soup and the burger to share. The waiter asked the kitchen to cut the burger in half and portion out the soup into two separate bowls for us, which we greatly appreciated! The flavor of the tomato soup is reminiscent of a Thai-style soup (tom yum), which similarly uses tomato and coconut milk as primary ingredients. The flavors were well-balanced and the focaccia bread was the perfect vehicle to lather up the rich and creamy soup! The soup is labeled as medium spicy on the menu but I didn't really taste any spice. The burger was really delicious as well, but my favorite part of that dish was actually the roasted potatoes. The sriracha mayo paired nicely with the burger and the potatoes. Would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're paying a visit to Flåm!
Great brewery in Flåm! The decor was straight out of an old time lodge. The servers were friendly. We ordered the Viking Plank, which consisted of 5 courses, each paired with a beer. There wasn't a bad dish! Our favorites were the soup and reindeer. The drinks complimented perfectly with their dish.
This was such a pleasant experience! My husband and I stopped in Flam for lunch and went to this brewpub - it was on our list to go do based on research we did on the trip. We were not getting our typical craft beer quota and luckily this place had all the craft beer!! we both got sours - I got a Raspberry Brut (tart but delicious and refreshing) and Jared got the Honey Bee smoked honey gose (definitely sour but could taste the honey coming through, very tasty). For food, I got the Muspeheim - (Pita bread served with beetroot hummus, Merguez (lamb) sausage from Haugen Farm, salad, pumpkin seeds and tomato salsa) and Jared got the Urd (arbequed pulled young goat from Haugen Farm served in a brioche bun with salad, pickled cucumber, homemade caramelized red onion compote with beer from Ægir Brewery and BBQ mayonnaise.) both were delicious, came out quickly, and were very filling. I was not expecting such a great experience here due to the fact a cruise ship was docked in the harbor and I thought it'd be packed with tourists off of the boat but we were seated quickly, the food and beer was delicious, and the wait staff was so nice!! Also - we left our camera there and were freaking out. We called and they immediately went to confirm that someone found it and it was waiting for us when we drove back. Such good customer experience.
Nice brewery, expensive drinks as Norway is costly. Expect to pay at least $15 USD/GBP per drink. This brewery has their own beer and gin. They also offer other varieties. Since I was here, I tried a flight of their beer and their own gin. The beer was pretty good. The lager was nice and crisp, and the amber tasted good. I also liked each of their gins. They offer 3 different types of gins. The one I remember is called "happy cat" which is a citrus-flavored gin. The atmosphere is cool. You can order at the bar and sit downstairs on the ground level. The upper level is for the restaurant. I did not try the food. All in all, I liked the drinks offered here. It's just very expensive as is the par for Norway. If you're in the area and want a decent beer or cocktail, I say give it a try and hang out and enjoy the environment.
What a nice dining experience. A little upscale menu but something for everyone incognito beef, pork, reindeer, salmon or vegetarian. The setting appears to be a Stave church very open with upstairs dining and downstairs bar dining. Definitely suggest getting a reservation. Food was great read more
The best (and the only non-hotel restaurants) dinner location in Flam! It's a bar restaurant with the bar with cozy sitting in the ground floor, and the restaurant on the second floor. The food is absolutely delicious. We got the Ran, which is a fish soup dish. The soup itself tasted very much like a creamy Tom Yum soup, and the seasonal fish and mussels very fresh. The fish was a little on the dry side, but the foccacia paired extremely well with the soup. We also got the havamal, and the beef patty was very juicy and flavourful. The Viking plank seems to be a very popular dish, as it is a 5 course tasting menu paired with 5 different beers. Unfortunately we didn't get to try this one when we visited, but it looked great! The service is excellent. The waiter was very attentive, and took the time to split the soup to two bowls as he asked and we indicated that we would like to share it between the two of us. There isn't too much seating, so I can see that it could be crowded or difficult to find seats during peak season, so keep that in mind! read more

Overall experience was good. A group of 4 had a night in Flåm and needed some food to eat. Among the options, we chose Ægir and was pleasantly surprised. Upon entering the premises, the ambiance was unique for the brewery/bar area. We were seated quickly in the upstairs area. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, and the food was surprisingly decent. Regarding prices, it seems like all prices in Norway are a bit more on the expensive side, but we all left the place with full stomachs. Drinks: good Food: good Service: great (our waiter cracked some jokes) If you are in Flåm and need a bite to eat with some drinks, not a bad place to stop by. read more

We had the vegetarian 5 course meal paired with beers. What a wonderful treat. Would recommend to everyone. I didn't check and I'm sure some of it could be vegan. Check with the wait staff - who were all wonderful. Very authentic Norwegian decor and loved the stories about each menu item. read more

Excellent beer, food and atmosphere! We had dinner reservations and enjoyed a beer downstairs by the fire before and after dinner. They had a large selection of beer. They were kind enough to let me order off the kids menu because I really wanted dessert too! read more

Wow, best meal of the trip! The food was Norwegian with a modern twist and very tasty. Only Flaamsbrygga hotel guests can make a reservation. Anyone else must queue up outside and wait for one of the coveted tables upstairs (downstairs is the pub which I believe only serves beer - no food). We arrived early were able to get one of those tables - there were probably only a dozen tables of varying sizes. The menu is obtained via QR code on your phone. We each ordered the Aegir Viking Plank which is a 5 course beer and food plank: salmon tartare with pickled fennel green peas herb mayo and Asian style dressing, slow cooked deer with red onion compote and blueberry cream, creamy tomato and coconut soup with seasonal fish and mussels, braised shoulder of local lamb with creamy mashed potatoes and roasted apple puree, and dark chocolate cake with porter ganache. The salmon and soup were my favorites! The food was paired beautifully with a matching beer flight. We also ordered a burger made of deer and beef with goat cheese on a toasted brioche bun with roasted potatoes (children's menu doesn't mention the cheese but it does come with cheese) and Swedish meatballs with mashed potato; both were served with a side salad. The chocolate ganache cake was so good we ordered a full size for dessert and a toffee mouse loke. A truly memorable meal! read more

Came here during a trip to Norway and saw good reviews after the train ride. We went for the 5-beer sampler first as we waited for a table. Excellent descriptions and choice of 5 beers! I enjoyed all but one that was too hoppy for my taste. We were then lead upstairs to our table. The ambiance here is excellent - so rustic and intriguing. We had the viking sampler to share, and it was plenty for 2! There was meat, seafood, and even dessert included in this delicious sampler. Service was on point. Overall a great experience! read more

Probably one of the coolest pubs we've ever seen! Wish they served authentic food or pub snacks with the beer flights because we were hungry after the train ride from Voss, but I'm not complaining. The whole place is fairytale gorgeous. Will definitely get drunk here again! read more

Had a slightly disappointing Viking plank after biking down from Hallingskeid It was ok, but I didn't feel it was anything special: Both the seafood dishes had scampi - which is not in any way local to Norway The bread was slightly dry Everything was served at once such that the fourth dish was lukewarm when you got to it Would likely order from the a la carte menu next time that is both more affordable and hopefully better read more
Yup, its quite pricey, but its Norway. Yup, its quite touristy, but its in a retro Viking home.... so AWESOME! Yup, craft beer in America is a cheaper, but its Norway. Yup, I'm biased, I'm a fan of the TV show Vikings on the History Channel. My 265kr/$35.33 Pork Shank dinner was huge and absofuckinglutely delicious. Wife's 198kr/$26 Vegetarian Platter...she loved it! Our .5 liter beers averaged 100kr/$13.33, but they were good and its Norway. This was our one big splurge in Norway, but keep in mind tax and tip is already included in prices. The Norwegian Brunette Bartender was very friendly, and the rest of the staff almost as much so but not quite. The ambiance can't be beat and is probably a once in a life time experience. If you can't afford the food, at least come in for a beer by the fire...there's really no other nightlife in Flam anyway. (Note: At time of this review, the US dollar was up 50% against the Norway kroner...$1 = 7.5kr vs $1 = 5kr just a couple years ago) read more
This place is a bit of a tourist trap but a very fun location to dine with the faux Viking set up. Decor was pretty amazing. We tried the fish soup and the reindeer burger which were both okay. Unfortunately we both had upset stomachs afterwards.. If it had only been one of us I wouldn't be sure it was the food but yeah, we both felt sick after eating here. Dinner was expensive but we were really happy they were open late at night. I would probably try somewhere else next time because of the food quality issue. They only let hotel guests use the wifi password which is kind of silly & inconvenient for international travelers. We are always grateful to restaurants that let us on their network since we can't use our phones here. Don't you want us to instagram your restaurant? ;) read more

The place is very atmospheric - Viking-style design with a fireplace at the centre that heats the entire room. Stylised furniture really takes you back a few centuries ago, and the beer selection is nice if expensive. Upstairs there is a restaurant, but we didn't go there. I would recommend to check it out just for the experience! read more

Amazing beer and great food! We were really hungry after a long day of driving and ordered the Viking Middag (Viking dinner - basically a giant sampler platter of meat). We were stuffed! The ribs were awesome and so was the pork shank. I also had a really great salad with goat cheese that was a huge portion! We had a ton of great beer that was actually not that expensive considering it's local and how much beer costs in Norway. Super super friendly service and really cosy inside. read more

A viking brewpub restaurant located in the center of Flam village. The architecture of the building is quite interesting and worth visiting. It's based on old viking architecture. Inside, in the middle of the main floor you will find a huge fireplace where you can chat and enjoy your beer. There are also a few different sitting areas with raw beautiful wood around the outside walls. There were a couple of us who weren't drinking at the moment, and so we were happy to find they had a few non-alcoholic beer options that tasted quite good. For dinner, I tried their oven baked "Gravlax" Ran. It was served with a fresh salad, creamy dill sauce and dill potatoes. My husband got their Spareribs Ragnarok, marinated in AEgir BBQ sauce and served with homemade coleslaw, amandine potatoes and AEgir dressing. The plates were big, very filling and delicious. The service was excellent as well. Note that the restaurant closes at 9:00PM so make sure to come before that time if you want to eat. As for the pub, they are open until late but don't serve any food. read more
This viking style brewery/restaurant is pretty awesome place considering it's in the middle of nowhere. It is a godsend for people staying in Flam, or even if you're just passing by as there are not many good options to eat/drink in the area. They have a nice selection of beer to choose from, the seasonal saison being my favorite of the bunch. The food and drink is quite expensive but definitely on par with Norway prices. The reindeer sandwich I had was pretty tasty with the berry creamcheese aioli and the pork shank was cooked nicely. Make sure you check the hours, I don't think the yelp hours are correct. 4 stars for a solid place to eat and drink craft beer in Flam. read more

We enjoyed a lunch here during our Norway in a Nutshell tour. We got the pulled chicken sandwich and the pork neck sandwich. Both were very delicious. I think we liked the pork neck a bit more, but the pulled chicken was also good. The bread they were served on was phenomenal! We loved the decor as well! read more

You probably wouldn't expect to find an amazing microbrewery in a touristy cruise port of no more than 1,000 residents, but this Viking-themed brewpub located just steps from the cruise dock in Flåm definitely does not disappoint. From the large selection of brews (they make more than a dozen, and have most of them on tap here), to the super old-feeling Viking lodge (I had know exactly what a traditional Viking lodge looked like inside, but this is about how I pictured one before I visited), to the very friendly staff (they'll answer any questions you have and let you try a few before you order), to the comfy seating (couches and tables) and free wifi, we loved our experience at Ægir Bryggeri. All of the different brews we tried were great, and while everything is a bit pricey (although not for Norway), the quality was worth the extra cost over beer on the ship. Despite being located right in the middle of the touristy atmosphere of Flåm's port, this is probably the one non-touristy business near the pier (they sell this highly-respected beer all over the country). So, whether you are a fan of local beer, or you just want to take a load off and enjoy some fast, free wifi before you get back on the ship, be sure to visit this Viking Brewpub in Flåm! read more
