    Beautiful atmosphere in this historic West End pub - it reminded me of one of the great English beer palaces. A well-heeled and friendly clientele enjoys comfortable booths and high-top tables that look out onto the street. "West End" prices, too. If you come from a place with cheap beer, you really don't want to think about how expensive Norway is in general, and this bar is in particular. Expect to pay between 50 and 65 NoK for smallish pints, more for wine and mixers. Oh well, it's only money. . .

    (I just tell myself that in my life I've had many many beers for which I've paid $2 or less - and so it all evens out in the end.)

    FRU HAGEN: ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS IN GRÜNERLØKKA

    Fru Hagen - popular and
    crowded
    by Maria_75
    Fru Hagen was one of the first trendy places that opened in Grünerløkka and contributed to making this one of the hottest areas in the city. It's perphaps one of the most famous places in Grünerløkka, and for many years this was one of the most important places to be seen.

    I've never really understood why, though. It's a very nice place, but you can find similar places around the city. It's not too expencive, but there are lots of just as nice places nearby that are even cheaper. If you don't come early and get a table, it can be a very tiresome experience. It's always very crowded and people will bump in to you all the time. But it's still one of the most popular places in Grünerløkka, so it can be worth checking it out.

    You could come in your casual clothes, but most people dress up...

    GLORIA FLAMES: POPULAR BAR IN GRØNLAND WITH ROCK MUSIC

    This is one of my favorite places, but unfortunately there are lots of others that think the same. Sometimes it can get too crowded, and if you come too late you have to wait in a long line to get inside.

    The place is located next to McDonalds in Grønland. Just follow the music and the long line... :) They also have a roofterrace, and it's very nice to sit here in the summer evenings.

    They play mostly rock-kind of music, and sometimes there are conserts here too. You can find all kinds of people here.

    Wear whatever you want... :)

    HORGAN'S: POPULAR AMERICAN BAR ON THE WESTSIDE

    This was for a long time THE place to be for the people from the westside of Oslo. Prices are high and the dresscode a bit stiff, but it's an ok place to spend the night and it's always lots of people here. They also serve food, mostly american and tex-mex, and there's a disco in the basement.

    There are many tv-screens around the bar, and they are showing the major sports events, from football to Superbowl and skiing.

    The more 'labels' the better... ;)

    JOHN DEE: GOOD PLACE FOR ROCK MUSIC AND CONSERTS

    This is the 'littlebrother' of nearby Rockefeller that hosts a lot of bigger conserts. John Dee is often used as a 'vorspiel'- or 'nachspiel' place to many of the conserts in Rockefeller.

    It's a very nice place, and some of the conserts that are here are pretty good. Most bands that play here are up-and-coming rock bands.

    Come as you are...

    John's seem to be relatively affordable compared with other bars in Oslo. Small snacks are also available. You can party with the latest music or relax in the bar. Music is mostly mainstrem, average customer around 25 years old. A popular spot that gets full in the weekends.

    Informal but trendy

    LAST TRAIN: SMALL, BUT GREAT, BAR

    by Maria_75
    This used to be one of my favorite places, but it's always so crowded here. It's impossible to walk one meter without being bumped into all the time, and you are very lucky if you last a whole night without someone spilling a drink on you.

    But the music is great and sometimes there are even live conserts here. They play mostly alternative or rock-kind of music, and you can meet absolutely all kinds of people here.

    It's a great place to take a drink or two, but on the most crowded nights it can get too tiresome to stay here a long time. But absolutely worth checking out.

    Wear whatever you want... :)
