    Awesome "brown" gastro pub with a fine selection of whiskey and beer. The menu looks really good for a gastro pub. The reindeer is supposed to be really nice. Looked great.

    Recommended! / Anbefales! Well stocked on beer and not a bad selection of whisky either. My friends had the Jalapeño burger and it received much praise!

    They do serve Frydenlund. This is a massive plus! Outside of this it's a has been pub. It used to be cool, it's not anymore. Your retro kids might like it.

    Beer selection is excellent! This is a bar with nice food, not the other way around.

    Good selection of beers. Scandinavian-inspired fare is tasty; note that the kitchen closes at 10pm

    Not really a place I'd go out of my way for in the past, but I made a return visit with a friend of mine a couple of weeks back, and now it its quite nice. Middle of the road beer selection.

    Try the gastronomic daily bar menu, and ask for beer recommendation! The chefs here makes life worth living! ;)

    My favourite thing here has to be the "secret" bathroom door...

    Extreme beer prices Brooklyn Lager: 92,00 NOK...and you can't get what we in Norway call "halvliter". You have to decide if you like 0,4 og 0,6 litre. Not a regular 0,5 litre

    Good beer, good food :-)

    The burger is almost 200 NOK, and not worth it. Majorstua needs some descent burger joints.

    Selve puben er upåklagelig, men forferdelig når de pumper brutalt høy musikk, sånn at det nærmest blir umulig å snakke med sidemannen.
