    The Stranden is the area which abuts the Sound in Aker Brygge. There are many permanently tethered boats that serve as bar-restaurants. These are great places to spend a sunny summer afternoon. Enjoying the fresh air, being next to the water, drinking a good Norwegian pils - life is good.

  • Oslo have more night life than even the biggest metropolitan citys.
    Smuget is well-recomended because of the mixed public and good music.

    Formal as informal dress code depending on the sight.

    On this site you find the prices of beer for the 'Lokka' area. What's the lokka area? in my opinion, the best. That's where students and imigrants live... or 'lived'. Since bars like 'Fruhagen' set feet there, the place started to go posh. But the atmosphere is delicious. Nothing like the fancy and sometimes snobish pubs in Frogner...

    On Friday and Saturday evenings, the Oslo inhabitants go by the streets to eat and mainly to drink beer (I saw few wine or aquavite drinkers).
    Alcohols and wines are sold by Vinemonopolets which are made to NOT sell them (prices, open hours, way of selling).
    The street is animated by several acrobats and musicians.

    Oslo's nightlife is booming at the moment. But tourists beware- do not get stuck in the line outside of the clubs and bars in and around Karl Johans gate. They are both expensive and mundane.
    Better times can be had Both in Grunerløkka and Majorstua, where new nightspots crop up frequently.
    Grunerløkka is located 10 mins. walk to the east of the city centre. Here you can find both the most expensive and the cheapest side by side. There are restaurants and bars catering to all sorts of tastes.
    The crowd is a mix of students, young professionals and alternative.
    Majorstuen is an equally short walk to the Northwest of the city centre. Prices here tend to be steeper than other parts of town, and the button-down-shirt-factor is much higher. Arsenal supporters will be pleased to find the pub 'Highbury' here, which gets busy during Champions League matches and the like.
    If you play Pool, there is (sadly) only one place in town to go: Biljardhuset in Torggata street. A table for 1 hour is $7 US, 1/2 liter beer is $5 (gulp!).
    There are maybe 15 tables there, and beer can be ordered to the table.
    1/2 liter of beer = $3-6 US depending on location and standard.
    20 cigarettes = $6 US
    Covercharge = $5-10 US
    Light meal = $6-12 US

    Traditional Norwegian 'party-dress' should be worn at all times. Norwegian attire here exemplified by the popular band 'Gartnerlosjen'.

    There is many nice places to go out both for eating and drinking around in the city.. In the summer it is very popular to sit out in the streets and take a beer at one of the restaurants....

    You do not neccesarily have to fill your stomach with alcohol every night. Why not visit Peppes Pizza and round the evening up with a bowling game. This is Marthe doing her best both with scores and style :-))
