Great place to visit in Oslo for the beer lover. Historic ambience which can range from eerily quiet to pub-level loudness in a single evening.

Fantastic barkeep, who was super helpful and knew what he was talking about to the details. Some coveted Other Half hazies on the board, and the reason for visiting - Marlobobo mead - Stevnsberry 2020 & Flying Sauce 2021. Speechless!
Anyways, this place went from a weak 2...
