Baran

Bar

👍👍 Hands down the best beer bar in Bergen. I’ve lived here for 20+ years, and this is it. If you’re looking for a popular or hip place, look further. Also have a beer at Biskopen which is 50m apart. People often mention beer, selection, good, beers, godt, Bergen, utvalg, great, nice, Nice,

    (Translated by Google) Small and charming bar, good selection of beers. Has, among other things, Pilsner Urquell on tap. May be a bit cramped about the place on weekends. Nice people at the bar and good prices. (Original) Liten og sjarmerende bar, godt utvalg av øl. Har blant annet Pilsner Urquell på tapp. Kan vær litt trangt om plassen i helgene. Hyggelig folk i baren og gode priser.

    One of the great bars in Bergen. Want a beer that you can't find anywhere else? Chances are you might find a bottle here. It might break your wallet if you dive into that closet, but hey.... you'll love it.

    The French dude makes that place. He has a great personality , funny and honest. He will play whatever musics you like. Amazing beers as well . I had a triple from England that blue my doors off. So good. We went back a second time while we were in Bergen . Love this place

  • 5/5 Joakim L. 6 months ago on Google
    Baran Café is easily one of the cosiest bars in Bergen. Great, chill atmosphere and lovely decor. All the staff are super friendly as well. The selection of beers is excellent, and if you can't find something you like at Baran, you won't find it anywhere. The location seems extremely small, but they do have a somewhat hidden basement. It's not the place the bring a large group, but 4-5 people could easily spend an entire evening at Baran, immersed in deep conversation.

  • 4/5 Petteri P. 4 years ago on Google
    Great selection of beers. Quirky interiors. Good for catching up with friends and outside the touristy bar areas.

  • 4/5 Mowgli D. 4 years ago on Google
    The place is quite small, but it makes up with good service. The music could do with a little improvement but I guess it's personal taste.

    Another place I really shouldn't write a review about, because other people will find out about Bar Baran! This place is lovely. Cosy, casual, with really friendly and knowledgeable people behind the bar that will help you find the perfect beer for you. They have lots of interesting things on tap (tonight I tried a beer called Mango Kush Wheat Beer, which didn't taste like either really but was fresh and hoppy and lovely, and a pineapple cider which was very different and interesting). It's not so noisy you can't chat with your friends, but does get fairly lively in a very relaxed way. Love this place.

👍👍 Stopped scrolling through countless Google Maps recommendations and chose this cute little pub. Hearty and delicious food. Pricier than fast food but so worth it. Go for the fish pie and artichoke soup.
