    An amazing and great place for beer and music lovers. The selection of both, beers and LPs/CDs is outstanding and the prices are reasonable (compared to our expectations before the Norway trip) Would love to come back someday.

    Probably one of the best bars for craft beers in Bergen. Highly recommended to visit

    It's a place with nice interior, but nothing else. Bartenders are extremely pretentious, while incompetent as they don't know a thing about beers. For a tap bar they have to many commercial beers, and the rest is not impressive. Lady bartender couldn't recommend anything and had no idea about the tap menu. Male bartender took glasses while we were preparing to go out. Very unprofessional. They treat locals far more better than tourist. As an experience bartender I can say that the kind of the behaviour that they had shown is unacceptable. I would not come back even though I liked the design.

    Very cool place. Great vinyl selection and friendly atmosphere. Only marking it down due to the arse-destroying price of the beer. A pint and a half of the local, cost the equivalent of £20! I walked out with a limp!

    Wow, you be bar is so amazing, they have more than 50 taps, you can try beer from different local and international breweries. Bartenders are so welcoming and talkative. It’s worth visiting place in Bergen. Highly recommend 👍🏼

    Quirky combination of record shop and beer. Great selection of great beers. Service was a bit lacking and staff seemed almost disinterested. Still worth a visit. Just don't expect friendly efficient service.

    Great concept, record store plus large craft beer selection. Got a hazy IPA and really enjoyed it. Relaxed vibe, decent amount of space for sitting.

    Pretty fun bar, lots of beer on tap, good vibe. Tons of vinyl for purchase or just fun to look through.

    Great atmosphere, amazing selection of beers (dare I say that their lambic is better than anything I've had in Brussels?) and a vinyl collection from Nile to Taylor Swift. What's not to love!

  • 5/5 Antonio R. 9 months ago on Google
    Absolutely blew my mind. Half vinyl shop, half craft beer bar. Excellent beer selection on tap, small but powerful bottle offer, but oh dear, the atmosphere... The place is amazing!

    The perfect combination between good beer and drinks with tons of vinyl records! A must go place for music lovers!

  • 4/5 Nik M. 5 months ago on Google
    It’s a craft beer bar and a record shop, what’s not to love?! The range of beer was fantastic, possibly even too much to choose from. It’s a really unique experience to be sat drinking in amongst the records, highly recommend if you’re in Bergen.

    Fantastic beer and record selection. Great concept. Friendly bartenders. I would definitely return here.

  • 5/5 Anthony M. 2 years ago on Google
    My idea of heaven, a bar that sells records. It's just about impossible not to enjoy yourself there, a pub/bar that is dripping in atmosphere and friendly people, absolutely loved it.

  • 5/5 Max G. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this bar. Great selection of beer and great vinyl collection. Drinking beer while browsing vinyls is a scary combination that works. Always end up buying too many vinyls. Unfortunately the beer is pretty expensive even for Norwegian standards.

  • 5/5 Erik Jaap D. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place, good vibe, vinyl and beers… what’s not to like 😉

  • 5/5 Christer B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The combination of digg beer and the opportunity to buy cool music with you at home (yes, they sell LPs), makes this place a sure winner! Stop by and! (Original) Kombinasjonen av digg øl og muligheten for å kjøpe med deg fet musikk hjem (ja, de selger LPer), gjør dette stedet til en sikker vinner! Stikk innom du og!

  • 5/5 Megan L. 4 years ago on Google
    What a nice vibe! Good music, great selection of drinks to choose from and a perfect location. Close to the bybane and other public transport stops. Perfect place to have a drink with friends after work.

  • 5/5 Tor H. 3 years ago on Google
    Has a very good selection of LPs and CDs. Always rarities available. Has also a bar section with a very good selection of beers, whiskies and other drinks. Open from early morning till night!

  • 5/5 11thRiddler 1 year ago on Google
    Oh my, probably best vinyl store I've been too. Such a nice and good vibe and such a range of music and very good beer. Want to come again but I'm Dutch :(

  • 3/5 Helge E. 3 years ago on Google
    Great music, huge selection of tap beer, good whisky selection, extremely poor ventilation and disgustion air when crowded

  • 5/5 Michael J. 6 years ago on Google
    Pretty cool place to go. I came for the records and stayed for the beer. Such a great range of records to browse while you have a beer. Decent selection of beers available too. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and the bar attracts a trendy crowd. An interesting concept combining a record shop with a bar, but one that certainly works.

  • 5/5 Bronson K. 5 years ago on Google
    Really cool bar that is on the popular trend of records and beer. Great beer selection where we met some really cool people.

  • 5/5 Christopher H. 4 years ago on Google
    A full on multi tap bar - 35 taps! Definitely worth visiting if you like beers. The staff are great, the atmosphere is great, the beers are great. I can't recommend this place enough. Just come here for yourself. Also makes a great stop in-between visiting the Kode galleries.

  • 5/5 Sean M. 4 years ago on Google
    What a cool place, great beer, vibes, music, and if records are what you’re into I’m sure those are great as well.

  • 5/5 Francisco C. 8 months ago on Google
    Great place to have fun! We met a lot of nice local folks and even a few Latinos living in Bergen. Thanks for the great nightlife experience!

  • 5/5 MAURO S. 9 months ago on Google
    Great selection of tap beer and knowledgeable advice on it. The place is packed with vinyls and other cool stuff. In general a pint goes for ~160 dk. Very good experience (i only had beers), definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 David Mc D. 3 years ago on Google
    Cool place. Friendly staff and good selection of beers. Full of vinyl records.

  • 1/5 Rich O. 11 months ago on Google
    Closed for private party. Wasn't even obvious until I got to the bar and some lady was shouting at me near the door. Might have been helpful to have some sort of barrier/clear sign up? Most bars I know tend to have a section for private parties rather than shutting the bar?!

  • 5/5 Anastasia M. 8 months ago on Google
    best bar in Bergen. music is always cool, beer is always tasty. there are always a lot of people

  • 5/5 Bengisu �. 8 months ago on Google
    It’s a cosy vinyl bar, they have over 40 draft beers you can have. If you are in Bergen for a holiday, you should stop by here to try the Bergen brand beers!

  • 5/5 Fairy D. 6 months ago on Google
    This might be one of the best craft beer bars I ever went to. 46 on tap. Holy moly! And you can browse for cds, tapes and records. From underground to main stream. Would give 6 out of 5!

  • 5/5 Jay A. 5 months ago on Google
    If you’re into amazing beers and a quirky atmosphere - definitely come here! The staff are also really friendly and helpful with beer recommendations!

  • 5/5 Lachezara N. 5 months ago on Google
    Cool place with huge selection of beer. When I visited it it was packed because of an event and couldnt really stay inside, but I think it has a nice vibe.

  • 5/5 Hayley R. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful bar with wonderful beers, and of course no one can forget the selection of records. I'm reminded somewhat of home in small family run pubs of London. A cosy, friendly atmosphere where one can enjoy music, good drinks and conversations with friends (socially distances obviously in current times - you can order table service with your phone to reduce contact and walking around). Would 100% recommend.

    (Translated by Google) They have lots of beer, they say to themselves that it is a good place. But a little sore seats, or just me who has back pain. (Original) De har masse øl jo, sier seg selv at det er ett bra sted. Men litt vonde sitteplasser, eller bare jeg som har vondt i ryggen.
