HIMKOK Storgata Destilleri — Restaurant in Oslo

We went to this bar on March 2024 while we were tourists in Oslo. We found it easily although in the entrance it wrote only 27 (no Himkok) so initially, we thought we might be on the wrong bar. We later discovered that there are actually 2 bars operating one on the ground floor and one on the first floor. But I do not know which one is which. We were guided immediately after entering downstairs to the first floor by a gentleman working at the entrance. The decoration in nice and the employees were helpful. We later discovered that in the ground floor there is a bigger variety of cocktails while on the first floor, the cocktails served are kind of the classical ones and their variety was limited to about 7-8 different ones with 169 NOKs as a cost. And that was all. We were told that if we liked, we could ask at the entrance on the ground floor and be informed if there was any table available in order to continue afterward downstairs. This kind of information would have been helpful if it was given to us at the entrance before actually ordering upstairs because we might for example wanted to order something different than the ordinary classical cocktails. The music was nice and the cocktails that we drunk, although classical ones, were nice as well. The only thing that I did not like is the fact that for example the mojito strawberry that I ordered was with additive colour instead of strawberry like I usually have drunk it elsewhere but maybe, since we were in Scandinavia, they do not use actually strawberries so much there so, I did not really persist on the matter. The bartenders were also nice, helpful and delivered our drinks quickly after we ordered them. The place was clean and the seats comfortable. The toilets...

Classy, chill, and cool.

Just don't miss it.

I heard about this hidden spot from a friend, and I was bound to find it. We had been at a couple other spots around town and decided it was time to find Himkok. It wasn't easy. We actually walked past it once, as it doesn't have much of a sign outside, just the number 33. We got a little lucky. As we walked by it the 2nd time, a couple of people that must have been there before, knocked on a door. We were wise to the situation, and followed them in. The place was full of people. Maybe sitting at the bar isn't popular locally, because 2 chairs were open. we slid in to those spots, lickity split. The bar keep was a classily dressed guy, with an old timey look. He gave us some time to look over the menu. We picked a couple classy mixed drinks and watched him do his thing. My glass was smoked and a whiskey based drink was made. My gal got a drink not too sweet, with aquavit as the base. They make there own vodka, gin and aquavit(a new beverage for us). The alcohols sit in barrels behind the bar. It added to the interesting and fun vibe of the place. It ended up a very fun night. I'm glad we put in the little extra effort to...
