Latest reviews from Oslo
| 88 /100 RØØR (Bar) ROSENKRANTZGATE 4 “Huge central bar with an impressively large taplist. Very quiet on a Sunday afternoon so quick service at least.
Offers shuffleboard upstairs if that's your thing!“ |
| 72 /100 Mad Goat Tap Room (Bar) MANDALLSGATE 10 “Fairly quiet inside when I visited on a sunny Saturday. Good selection available on tap so it's worth a trip if you are in the area.“ |
| 88 /100 Brewgata (Bar) BRUGATA 5 “Great little rock pub with an impressive selection on tap. Small pours available, but also bottle/can pours for interesting stouts and meads.
Well worth a visit.“ |
| 70 /100 NORDRE GATE 2 “Seems to be part of a range of venues - visited on a sunny Saturday afternoon and I was literally the only person there (the outside space for the wine bar? was packed).
Big selection of beers but had to wait a while before a server actually showed up.“ |
| 72 /100 MARKVEIEN 57 “Not quite the same template as all the UK bars, but still mostly brewdog on tap, and some UK guests - I didn't really go to Oslo to get UK beers at double the price!
Some interesting bottle pours though.“ |
| 58 /100 THORVALD MEYERS GATE 2A “Big industrial type space with a small selection of beers on tap. Pizzas looked good though. Worth checking out if in the area.“ |
| 40 /100 SAGVEIEN 23 A “Only opens Thurs-Sat 12-4 for some takeaway beers (less than 4.7% of course, wouldn't want anything interesting...)
Fire alarm went off during my visit so didn't actually get to buy anything...“ |
| 86 /100 Hopyard - Mathallen Oslo (Bar) MARIDALSVEIEN 17A “Part of a foodcourt, with a small number of taps available. The real draw is the extensive bottle selection - just a shame the daft licensing laws mean you can't get takeaway.“ |
| 78 /100 BERNT ANKERS GATE 25 “Small cosy bar which is quite central. Decent selection on tap and a number of pricey bottle pours available.“ |
| 84 /100 Brygg (Bar) STORGATA 5-7 “Huge open bar with food available upstairs. Large selection of beer on tap with prices being standard for Oslo.
Seems to be closed on Sundays contrary to the opening hours here.“ |
| 72 /100 The Good Knight (Bar) BADSTUGATA 9 “Nice place in an area where it is crowded with beer places. This one is still absolutely wort a visit. Unusual interior and a nice bottle/tap selection“ |
| 52 /100 EkoMarket - Eastern European Grocery (Grocery Store) CALMEYERS GATE 4 “A beer selection that is quite different to other grocery stores in Norway. So it is absolutely a place to pop by and get some ticks“ |
| 66 /100 Izakaya (Bar) ST. OLAVS GATE 7 “Almost impossible to find unless you know where it is.
Cool place with a fine selection of Japanese beer. Solid sake selection. But difficult to find out what it is unless you know Japanese…

| 58 /100 The Scotsman Oslo (Bar) KARL JOHANS GT 35 “I was already pretty when we came here on Thursday evening. Quite empty, but live music was playing. Taps were mostly macros, but martjoobolut manged to dig out some rare vintages. So it wasn't all that bad.“ |
| 58 /100 The Scotsman Oslo (Bar) KARL JOHANS GT 35 “Bar / live venue in the center. About 15 or so taps, about 20 bottles. Taps are quite boring, either macro or big craft (think Brooklyn Pilsner). That being said, manage to find some old and interesting bottles from the menu. Service was ok. Nothing really interesting here, beside those 1-2 old bottles (at the moment they still list Thomas Hardy 2007, I regret not trying it!). If you're interested in live music, this maybe a place for you, beerwise this is skippable.“ |
| 64 /100 Kniven (Bar) MØLLERGATA 32 “Metal dive bar short distance from the center. DJ was playing the music, so this is also kind of music venue. Few taps and some cans. Nothing exciting. Ok service. Not really a beer-y destination, but worth popping in if you're into Norwegian metal and want to enjoy decent pint.“ |
| 50 /100 The Good Knight (Bar) BADSTUGATA 9 “Chess bar short walk from the center. 16 taps and bunch of bottles, but the beer list is very boring. Not really something I would bother with, easily skippable.“ |
| 74 /100 Grezzo (Restaurant) BERNT ANKERS GATE 37 “Italian resto/beer bar short walk from the center. Friendly service. 14 taps and bunch of bottles/cans. Tap list is dominated by Beer Flag and Svartbergets. No small pours/flights. Food was ok. Ok place.“ |
| 64 /100 Tilt (Bar) TORGGATA 16 / ENTRANCE FROM BADSTUGATA “Arcade/cocktail bar in the cluster with bunch of other bars, short walk from the center. Service was ok. Prices are oslo usual. Tap list has some fancy Nogne-s which we tried. Otherwise nothing really notable about this place, better beery places are nearby.“ |
| 48 /100 Duckpin (Bar) TORGGATA 28 “Short distance from the center, cocktail bar and bowling alley. Tap list is limited and weak. Bottle list a bit better, but still quite boring if you are not new to craft beer. Honestly as far as beers go this is a skip, there are so many better places close by.“ |
| 62 /100 BERNT ANKERS GATE 25 “Small Mikkeller bar short walk from the center. Service is ok, a bit disinterested. 20 or so taps + some bottle pours (including nice meads). Most of the tap list is boring (like Mikkeller's output in general nowadays). At least they did small pours, although not cheap. Ok place. I'm not generally fan of Mikkeller bars, but if you enjoy them, you probably would like it more than I did.“ |
| 72 /100 TORGGATA 32 “Big bar/resto (don't remember brewing equipment, but maybe my memory is hazy) located somewhat away from the center. Still walkable distance and easy to get by public transport. 20 or so taps, including bunch of their own stuff. Unfortunately a couple of more interesting taps were out. Still managed to find six new ticks easily. Prices are usual Oslo level. Service is ok. Ok place.“ |
| 60 /100 TRONDHEIMSVEIEN 2 “Cellar brewpub located some distance from the center, but easily reachable by public transport. The entrance is actually in the courtyard. Service was disinterested. Tap list were mostly their own beers, and flights were available. Beers were quite random and not in the top condition. Honestly this is just for the ticks, otherwise would skip.“ |
| 72 /100 STORTINGSGATEN 20 “Brewpub/bar located in the center. Tap list has bunch of beers brewed on the spot and some others including macroish offerings. No flights, but 250ml or so portions available. Service was friendly. Prices are Oslo usual. Ok place, just wish they did flights, it should be norm for brewpubs.“ |
| 76 /100 Hovedbanen Spiseri (Restaurant) JERNBANETORGET 1 “Restaurant in the central station. Friendly service. Prices are Oslo average. Tap list is not too exciting, but ticks were found. Opened early, which was nice. So it is a good place start your beer crawl.“ |
| 70 /100 Brygg (Bar) STORGATA 5-7 “Big beer bar short walk from center, in the cluster with other bars. 35 or so taps, but mostly not too exciting. Half pours available, prices are oslo average. Service is ok. Ok place, not too exciting.“ |
| 60 /100 Café Sara (Bar) HAUSMANNSGATE 29 “A restaurant short walk from the center. Very busy during Friday evening, hard to find a seat. Prices are expensive, but the beer list has some fancy stuff like BBT and Lervig, Nogne BA stuff. In the case of BBT you can get a bottle pour, so easy way to tick off something fancy. Service was below average. Not really enjoyable for beer nerd/ticker honestly. The only reason to go are the fancy bottle pours, otherwise this is a skip.“ |
| 84 /100 MARKVEIEN 57 “Brewdog bar a little bit away from the center, but still in the walking distance. Friendly service. Selection has some interesting stuff, including tasters of mead. Prices are above Oslo average, but this is expected from BD bar. I quite enjoyed it, minus the prices ofc.“ |
| 74 /100 THORVALD MEYERS GATE 30 B “Small bar/resto a little bit away from the center, but still in the walking distance. It was quite busy on Friday evening, so we had to stand in the bar. Some interesting beers from their own selection available. 0.25L and in some cases 0.33L is the smallest portion you can get. Prices are Oslo usual. Service was ok. Ok place to have a beer or two.“ |
| 64 /100 THORVALD MEYERS GATE 2A “Crafty macro front a couple of km away from the center. Easily reachable by public transport. They do flights, but for some weird reason buying smallest portions separately is cheaper than flights ... (wasn't the only place in Oslo where that was the case!). Selection was mostly boring. Prices are on the higher side, service is ok. When in area then why not, otherwise could be easy skip.“ |
| 66 /100 Vinmonopolet Oslo - Nydalen (Beer Store) NYDALSVEIEN 33 “Small alcohol shop close to Nydalen brewery, so out of center, but reachable by public transport. Prices are reasonable service was ok. Ok place.“ |
| 86 /100 NYDALSVEIEN 30A “Big modern brewpub out of center, but easily reachable by public transportation. Flight sized portions available! Good service, prices are reasonable for the small portions (well, in Oslo context reasonable). Have bunch of their own beers and some other. At least their own beers are in good condition. Decent place.“ |
| 72 /100 Kniven (Bar) MØLLERGATA 32 “Good selection of beers and good music. After visiting Noseblod day before this one completes my trip. Beers from next door Beer Flag and others on tap. Must visit place for metalheads.“ |
| 44 /100 The Good Knight (Bar) BADSTUGATA 9 “I can't understand why this place is in RB. Maybe for social reasons, but for beer nerds not so useful. Done.“ |
| 84 /100 Grezzo (Restaurant) BERNT ANKERS GATE 37 “Hidden gem of Oslo. When you are coming from Torggata way, which is loud and noisy, you are suddenly hit by calm and serenity and absolutely brilliant service. Good selection of beers for reasonable price. I enjoyed every minute here. Must visit place.
Will come back.“ |
| 52 /100 Tilt (Bar) TORGGATA 16 / ENTRANCE FROM BADSTUGATA “It's an arcade / cocktail bar with selection of beers. If you are slightly tipsy, which I wasn't, you might have lot of fun here. We just had couple beers and wandered on.“ |
| 36 /100 Duckpin (Bar) TORGGATA 28 “This is more of the cocktail bar rather than beer place. Nothing interesting in here.“ |
| 76 /100 BERNT ANKERS GATE 25 “Small Nordic style small Mikkeller taproom which I quite enjoyed. Nothing is extra, nothing is overdone, everything is just spot on. And I'm not Mikkeller fan, far from it.
Will come back.“ |
| 70 /100 TORGGATA 32 “Large place with nice red brick interior. Open kitchen which isn't excellent for beer tasting, but it doesn't disturb either cause beers weren't that good anyway.
They do flights which is positive.“ |
| 64 /100 TRONDHEIMSVEIEN 2 “Entrance is located inside the courtyard. Looks like completely random door. We didn't notice any signs beside very bent table nearby the door.
Huge one room cellar type of place. Freezing cold down in here. Staff is some sort of teenagers who show little to less interest of serving.
They do flights.
Didn't leave good impression to me.“ |
| 64 /100 Dr. Jekyll’s Pub (Bar) KLINGENBERGGATA 4 “Just around the corner from Amundsen. Interior looks quite similar except the toilet! The way to toilet is just fantastic!“ |
| 64 /100 STORTINGSGATEN 20 “Quite in the center. English style wooden pub/bar. Not too busy on Saturday morning. Helpful and understanding staff. Not all the beers were excellent, but I suspect it's not the pub's fault. They do small portions.“ |
| 66 /100 Hovedbanen Spiseri (Restaurant) JERNBANETORGET 1 “Another place in Oslo Sentrjalen. Quite large place with selection of beers on the menu. Staff was friendly and nice. Tables and chairs were installed and quite narrow. Prices not too bad. If you have to kill time pop through.“ |
| 72 /100 Brygg (Bar) STORGATA 5-7 “Huge place, but bit bleak. Iron stairs and industrial feel. Loads of taps so good selection. If I remember correctly they did flights or at least small portions. Friendly staff.
Might come back.“ |
| 62 /100 Café Sara (Bar) HAUSMANNSGATE 29 “Absolutely packed on Friday evening, but we managed to find a seat in the corner. Loud. Fast service. Nice wooden interior. More macro than micro on tap.“ |
| 74 /100 MARKVEIEN 57 “Large place with lots of details to pay attention to. Well moose head is obviously one. But also quite nice beer menu. One of the best services in town for us so far. Really friendly and helpful. Prices are crazy. Like for real 35 euros for a flight with no really expensive beers in it? That's robbery.
Otherwise than that would recommend.“ |
| 78 /100 THORVALD MEYERS GATE 30 B “Quite buzzing on Friday evening, but we managed to find a corner next to wall where to lean and put our beers. Nice selection of their own beers for a reasonable price. Music is bit loud, but I enjoyed being here. Will visit again.“ |
| 60 /100 THORVALD MEYERS GATE 2A “Looks like it's built in the old brewery of some sort. Inside packed with various brewing related items. It all looks.... yeah like visiting a macro who tries to impress with only thing what they have, history in modern sauce. Despite of design quite bleak.
Selection of beers from their "craft" range on tap. Prices higher than normal. Easily skipable.“ |
| 54 /100 Vinmonopolet Oslo - Nydalen (Beer Store) NYDALSVEIEN 33 “Small shop between metro and Nydalen brewery. Only reason we visited this place was for Svaldbard brewery tick. Mission was successful.“ |
| 84 /100 NYDALSVEIEN 30A “Large place way out of center. But no worries! Metro takes you almost to doorsteps. Nice place, good selection, nice and friendly staff. We were well taken care of. They do small portions. Must visit place. Will come back.“ |
