    This place was nice, security was polite. The drinks were ok, low in alcohol but that’s understandable. As far as the music, it was fun dancing to it but I’d recommend updating it. 80s/ new wave would be a great suggestion seeing that it never goes out of style. Other than that I had a great time here.

    Great atmosphere. Drinks are pretty pricey (£18 for two drinks) but you get some incredible live music. Guy had a phenomenal voice! Hard not to enter after walking by and hearing such a talented individual

  • 5/5 Jose Luis U. 1 year ago on Google
    A place different to have a beer, wine, cocktail, gin tonic, and some food if you like. It's inside a church looking building. Enter the side entrance, not the front door. Look for the 'Biblioteket Bar's sign. Then climb upstairs. The place is nicely decorated with several chairs and armchairs that invite you to sit down. They seem to live music sometimes (due the setting), but I haven't seen it. You can order at the bar or with your phone (use the QR Code in each table). It's pricey but the views are nice of the fish market area (view from a second/third floor). Nice to relax with a drink after dinner. A good idea to go for a drink. If you plan to come, you want to reserve a table (especially if you'd like a good view). Otherwise you might have to wait.

  • 4/5 Anais E. 4 years ago on Google
    The drinks were definitely on the pricy side. I had a delicious Christmas ale and my partner had a fruity cider, £18 in total. The charm of the place was made by the amazing live music. We initially went for a drink at Sjøboden because it's very close to our hotel but the stunning voice of the live performer definitely made it worth the price.

    (Translated by Google) Slow serving from the app on the outdoor terrace, no shade to sit under and limited selection on tap. Better to sit inside. (Original) Treg servering fra app på uteserveringen,ikke noe skygge å sitte under og begrenset utvalg på tapp. Bedre å sitte inne.

  • 4/5 Carl-Erik H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good water hole with good atmosphere. Absolutely great location on the outdoor terrace in the middle of Bryggen itself, but unfortunately a lot of waiting time for the waiters this time. (Original) Bra vannhull med god stemning. Helt super lokasjon på uteserveringen om sommeren midt på selveste Bryggen, men desverre mye ventetid på servitørene denne gangen.

  • 1/5 Yin A. 1 year ago on Google
    We were sitting down and were asked to leave when we still had drinks. The security personnel, a woman, was very rude. She told us that she didn't really know what to do with us, if we could stand outside or what, we just had to leave.

  • 5/5 Kayla J. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ayesha B. 6 years ago on Google
    Great place, awesome music, good service with friendly staff and epic atmosphere. The atmosphere, in my opinion, gives an upscale feel but is still a chill place with normal pricing instead of having to pay an arm and a leg for a drink. It's nice to finally find a club where you can dance your heart out without someone dropping a drink in your face at the same time. The staff usually come to you so you don't have to spend half your night queuing at the bar. The music seems to generally be a hiphop/club mix and they play music you can actually dance to rather than the usual top 20 songs of the radio at the time. It also has a big enough dance floor to dance without people pushing against you. Would totally recommend checking it out if you want a night out where you chill, drink, dance, and have fun. One of my favourite places to go when I visit Bergen just because of the feel good vibe.

    They stole my jacket! i left my brand new Stone Island jacket on a chair in the club and when I had to go home the jacket was missing. The staff was very unprofessional and they didn't do nothing to help us, in fact they were even disturbed. However the club it's nice right in the center of the city but the service and the management is very unprofessional.

  • 4/5 antonio a. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Excellent restaurant near the center of Bergen where you can spend Friday evening, a day of celebration in Norway. There is an air of extreme tranquility in being able to have fun and make new acquaintances. Girls and boys are very sociable and with great amazement (in the positive sense), compared to Italy it is not customary to come to the hands for futile reasons, not even from rotten drunks. This applies to local kids, tourists retain their habits from Latin and Eastern Europe. (Original) Ottimo locale nei pressi del centro di Bergen dove poter passare il Venerdì sera, giorno di festa in Norvegia. Si percepisce un'aria di estrema tranquillità nel poter divertirsi e fare nuove conoscenze. Ragazze e ragazzi sono molto socievoli e con grande stupore (nel senso positivo), rispetto all'Italia non è usanza venire alle mani per futili motivi, neanche da ubriachi marci. Questo vale per i ragazzi del luogo, i turisti conservano le loro abitudini da Europa latina e dell'est.

    The good looking bartender with the dark hair and beard is PHENOMENAL. He makes the best drinks I've ever tasted. Times square, Boston, San Fran... Nothing compares to this man's drinks. The establishment's locale in an old library gives it phenomenal ambience. A must-visit.
