Latest reviews from Oslo
| 58 /100 Oslo Ølutsalg (Beer Store) HAUSMANNS GATE 8D “If you miss some Oslo Brewing ticks. This is the place to go. Easy to find. Close to the main beer trail Torggata in Oslo“ |
| 88 /100 STORTINGSGATEN 20 “This was the closest option to our hotel, but it was a great find.
About 10 of their own beers on tap, plus an extensive list of guest taps and regional bottles, you can't go wrong with beer here. The food menu is somewhat limited (it is everywhere in Norway, evidentally), but the food was terrific. Nice staff. As expensive as everywhere in Norway. Great stop on our last night. Brewery #1037.“ |
| 60 /100 Royal Gastropub (Bar) JERNBANETORGET 1 “Nice outdoor seating in summertime overlooking the eastern square of the railway station. There is a separate bar outside with quite a few taps. An island bar inside with seven guest beers among altogether 22 taps. Not all the taps were on at my stay, and some of them overlapping each other. The tap menu is supported by a rather large selection of bottled and canned beers. Coldplay music in the background during my stay. Polite service and okay atmosphere. (Visited with Frau Eva, 19.08.2024).“ |
| 46 /100 Oslo Ølutsalg (Beer Store) HAUSMANNS GATE 8D “A rather small outlet for beers from Oslo Brewing Company. About 10-12 of their own beers available at my stay, from 4.7 % abv and below, - and only their own beers. Separate rooms for private events and meetings. The store is located close to places like Schouskjelleren, Cafe Sara and Crow Bar. Polite service. (Visited, 19.08.2024).“ |
| 90 /100 NORDRE GATE 2 “Nice and cozy place that makes you feel far away from Oslo. A few decent but not very interesting beers by them self but a really good selection of other quality beers in the menu. Food is excellent, it’s simply a shame to not eat when visiting.“ |
| 34 /100 The Shamrock Irish Pub (Bar) SCHLEPPEGRELLS GATE 32 “Typical Irish pub - good place for pub quiz and probably also watching sports.... Not a place for craft beer - besides Guinness on tap it's mostly from the usual Ringnes portfolio - mostly big macro, but a few E. C. Dahls as well.“ |
| 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.“ |
