Where has this place been since we've visited!?!? This is norway'a savior for expensive food and beer because I would actually pay the real converted money to be here.
We ordered: lamb stew. Real chunks of delicious rumpy pieces of lamb in creme fresh. So much noms. fish and chips. Solid solid deliciousness. I'd say the tar tar sauce is what got me with the scallion flavor boosting everything over the boat hot dog. Got the spicy lamb from the bartenders suggestion and it was incredible. Wrapped in bacon with some leaves and radish slices. The only thing was that the casing was so crunchy, it was hard to rip with my teeth and would up all over my chin. Worth it. beer. Anything suggested is fantastic. The bartender will let you try it out before committing and he seems to have great taste overall. brownie. After all that, we needed to polish it off with a very creamy nutty brownie. Yum.
Overall, I am glad this place exists and was suggested by nytimes. I would come here once while landing and once before leaving just to see the vast difference between food and prices. Dodge the other bar food and just come here.

Accompanied by a fantastic tartar sauce and a small bowl of puréed green peas, it was the icing on the cake, so to speak.

The cheerful server promptly delivered the food, and it was served at the perfect temperature.

Despite this minor inconvenience, it was an overall...
Read moreOne of my favourite places in town. Very nice to sit outside and have a beer during the summer, but also very atmospheric inside for the days when that's not possible.
The beer selection is excellent with mostly beers they have brewed themselves on tap, but also good guest beers and collaborations. I especially love that they often have alternatives to the typical IPA and NEIPA beers, like a brown ale or a bitter. The pilsner and dunkel that they make is also brilliant.
The food is good, typical pub fare with burgers, fish and chips, fried chicken etc. The quality is absolutely fair considering the price. My date was very happy with the chitake mushroom vegetarian burger as well.
All in all it's a very nice spot to go if you like beer and laid back...
