Aker Brygge has a very good nightlife, and there are plenty of places to choose from. But the prices here are very high! If you look on the nightlife-tip with beerprices you can see that 3 of the 5 most expencive places in the city are located here...
If you are on a budget you should eat and drink other places. Even if you're not on a budget there are lots of other places in the city that are both nicer and cheaper.
But Aker Brygge has many popular places and lots of people come here every weekend so it can be worth checking out. Just be aware of the prices... :)

Each year around 10 December there is the concert in honour of peace and the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.
If you are in town at that time, it's a chance to see an extremely good and eclectic international concert with a topic and a moral.

Begins at 20 hrs, doors close at 19:30.

Since I am a teetotaler, non-smoker, living-below-my-means practitioner, and Warren Buffet wannabe who invests diligently and smartly, I see the banality of draining money to buy alcoholic drinks and cigarettes--worst if you even finance this habit with your credit card debts!
I strongly believe that we should let our money work for us, not working our buns off for money only to burn and drain it in the toilet. Hence, I can only give you a serene thrifty healthy nightlife tip as shown in the picture. HA...HA...HA.... Gotcha!!! ;-P

This is a very nice and modern cafe where you can sit down eat some food and drink.
The beer here is cheap compared with the other bars in the same area.
It is a perfect "vorspiele" bar... A place to drink before heading for the final party.
Dress Code: No special dresscode
