    Just arrived and our hotel is opposite..stopped by around 7pm last night and had a beer and the kids had a hot chocolate. All was fine if a little pricey. On the way back from the museum today decide to stop in again and told by the bartender they don't want kids even though we'd been there the night before with no issue. No sign anywhere or on their website. Felt really embarrassed as everyone was looking. Families avoid!

    Most famous pub in Norway 🇳🇴 with great selection of Tromsø beers 🍺 lovely food, we tried the Nachos 💚 and very good music!!! we had a lot of fun and laughs in a relaxing atmosphere, talking friendly with staff too.. the new location is around ten years old in modern building with beer cellar and rustic decoration from old location.. and the old location was open for fifty years and it was the place for a famous Comedy Show TV program!!! Definitely a place to go in Tromsø, the “Paris of the North” and the “Paradise of beer lovers” Thanks Rorbua for The Night of our trip ;7

    In Tromsø I really like to eat seafood and fish. Pizza with shrimps and salmon immediately become the must! Even if dough was to fat for my personal liking, the toppings were delicious, combined perfectly with pesto sauce 😃 very good price for 1 person pizza, recommended to all who needs fast and tasty meal.

    Nice bar. Nothing else to report. Had a few pints and was nice. I was here on Thursday at 9.30, so maybe other times there is more atmoposhere. But usual beers and nice decor. I would not say no to this bar but it would not be my first choice.

    Sehr gemütliches Ambiente und gute Drinks. Das schmutzige Geschirr wird halt auch hier nicht abgeräumt, das scheint aber in Tromsø normal zu sein...

    Most authentic pub in Oslo? Weak point is the beer selection as naturally very focused in Mack who produce very average beers. Needs to get some of Lervig’s in here!

    Cozy pub with local beers on tap. Mix of locals and tourists. Comfortable seats or high tops available. They serve delicious hot dogs too. Friendly bartender.

    Went for a drink on a saturday night. There was a band. People were happy and dancing. The band seems good but personally didn’t recognize any song so didn’t enjoy it very much. The selection of drinks at the bar is mainly beer.. didnt see Cocktails or something special. The pub is cosy and big, 2 floors and was full! Congratulations!

    Just in front of the Port, this typical pub had great local food and atmosphere. We didn't reserve a table but the employees were so kind to find something. We ate meat and fish typical soup and everything was very good. I suggest you try it also because we had the opportunity to see some northern lights right after dinner.

    Besticht mit toller Optik und grandiosen Ambiente. Super toll eingerichtet. Die Preise leider sehr übertrieben.. 19€ für zwei kleine Bier. Die Tische wurden leider nicht abgeräumt und man musste an der Bar bestellen, was nicht schlimm ist, wenn man es weiß. Die Bedienung war in Ordnung.

    Drinks are good and the staff was very friendly. The food options are just the pizza next door. The pizza was decent.

  • 4/5 Mary Alice M. 5 months ago on Google
    Beer was fine but the bartender seemed disinterested in helping us select from taps we'd never heard of/tried. Thankfully everyone liked what they ordered. We sat towards the back and about fifteen mins in the band started to show up with all of their gear for live music. We might've stayed to listen but as people came in and greeted each other and moved around us, they genuinely made us feel as if we were in the way. 🤷🏻‍♀️ We finished our beers and headed out to find a new place.

    It was very nice there with nice music, until a group of Norwegian students rudely took over our table. despite requests to give us our table so that we could return to drinking our drinks and snacks... these people ignored us and made the atmosphere very bad. a very unpleasant example of lack of hospitality. It's a pity because so far we've had a wonderful time here

    Our first stop in Trømso! Very welcoming and excellent atmosphere with a fair bit of snow falling. Highly recommend this place!

    Nice and cozy place near the harbor. I like the wooden and rustic ambient. Good beer. Recommended.

  • 4/5 A O. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice place to get a drink after midnight. Norwegians, at times, take their drinking laws too seriously and come across rather moralistic. As if drinking for breakfast or after 2 AM is totally uncouth. Но, в чужой монастырь со своим уставом не едут!

  • 5/5 Scott T. 1 year ago on Google
    Reservations recommended. I liked the upstairs seating. Send like you can't miss with the menu, but fish is a good place to start.

    A well-decorated pub with a decent selection of beer. Good place to kill some time

  • 5/5 John W. 1 year ago on Google
    Last came here 6 years ago and the only small changes are improvements. Proper friendly pub with good range of local and international beers. Also serve Pizza, and run a Izzy restaurant next door. Great atmosphere, on the harbour side, and only a couple of minutes walk from the Hurtigruten terminal. Don’t miss the Polar Bear!

    Really enjoyed this place. As we were there during the the infamous covid-days, I felt like the place took good care to prevent infections and still provide a fun might out. We got our own table, ordered at the bar, and they came with the drink to the table. Thought drinking, people were following the guidelines and guards took a round every now and then to keep up with what was going on. When I'm in Tromsø again, this will absolutely be a place I visit again😎🤘😁

    Great spot to have a couple of beers with your partner of friends. Music is not loud and bartenders are friendly.

  • 5/5 Pat R. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing Pub right next to the Radisson Blu. The atmosphere, service, and food were fantastic. This place is a must if you are in Tromzo.

  • 5/5 Ishu S. 1 year ago on Google
    The service and the atmosphere was amazing. Chill vibes with music. The music was not loud to hurt your ears but perfect so you can talk to your friends and listen to music. Must go there for a drink if you have time to chill.

  • 4/5 Elaine van de L. 2 years ago on Google
    A lovely pub with live music. There was en entrance fee of 50 kr. Which was a shame imo since the beer is already pricy but the atmosphere was very nice.

  • 5/5 Michael W. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved it. Great atmosphere. Kjetil was playing. There was a sing-song vibe. Brilliant.

  • 1/5 Svet L. 1 year ago on Google
    Does not care at all about their neighbourhood. They are playing loud music at 1 am. No chance to get a good sleep. Avoid this place.

  • 4/5 Paulie S. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great night here on Saturday, friendly staff..well some of them anyway!!

  • 4/5 David O. 1 year ago on Google
    The walls of the pub are lined with beers from all over the world, some are quite old and unique, it was nice to look over the label designs and countries of origin. The service could have been friendlier.

    Super cozy, nice beers, friendly staff

  • 5/5 Darren R. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful aesthetic and some nice 80s music playing. Combined with very friendly bar staff and a good location, you couldn't really ask for more.

  • 5/5 Julie H. 2 years ago on Google
    Cozy atmosphere and great live music - glad to have this place as our local while in Tromso

  • 5/5 Lisa B. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a lovely warm and cosy place to stop by to refuel yourself on a day of exploring. A warm greeting by staff was the first positive of many. The girl holding the fort today was so friendly and I felt at home right away. The place is very well kept and has a very homely sort of feeling but also a very rustic feel too. The nachos were delicious and very filling. I feel I could be back again before I leave.

    Very nice pub next to the Radisson blu Hotel and near the harbor. Good live music, and nice norwegian draft beer. Prices are ok for norway 🇳🇴 12 euro for a large beer.
