    Good but not great. Burgers are OK, but could have been more juicy. Chips are really good though! Okay prices, and fast service if it's not too crowded.

    Awesome location with super friendly and helpful staff. I enjoyed my stay a lot. The burger was good, but for my taste still a bit too medium (after ordering well done). The cook even showed up at the table to make sure the burger meets my request but the medium part was only in the middle, so I can't blame him, because when he asked me, everything was fine. The fries on the other hand have been extraordinary. Definitely will come back on my next visit in Tromsø.

    The burgers here were delicious and the beer selection was good as well. There is no English menu, but the bar tender was happy to help translate for us. The sauces that the burgers were served with were unique and really added to the flavor of the burgers. The fries were also very good - seasoned well.

    Best burgers in Tromso. No kidding. Very nice music. Been there twice, second time the fries were a bit overdone, but okay. Cool looking interior, but not too cozy. Staff is doing their job, but that’s it. A real bartender is a bit of a psychologist.. Anyway, definitely recommend. Burgers to die for.

    Another place in Tromsø that has been recommended to us by the owner of the hostel we stayed in. He said we shouldn't go to hard rock cafe because it's everywhere and it's b#%%^@!t. We should go to Blårock Cafe instead as there is no place alike. And he was 100% right. This place is stunning. I love the atmosphere and food (they serve burgers, fries, salads etc). You can order your meal by the bar and waiter will bring it to your table. You should definitely try the dirty fries (fries covered in bacon, cheese and sauce). Delicious. You can pick one of the multiple floors to sit on. Walls are covered in guitars and band posters. It's full of people, it's noisy and kinda dirty if you know what I mean. ;)

    Still an extremely nice spot to enjoy a burger with rock and roll to mend a blue monday or any other day for that. With a calming brew in your hand. This is basically a Tromsø institution that has sparked many memories for years and years for thousands of people.

    Burger and the clash was good. Fries with the burger were bad, toast with the clash was moist served with rock hard butter. Good atmosphere and main dish, sides were just disappointing.

    We saw comments that restaurants in Tromsö are not very dog friendly. Luckily this restaurant allowed us to have our dog on the terrace. The food was also great. Thick patties are not my favorite and I think it was ready-made patties that they fried. The end product was great. The really great dish was the dirty fries though.

    Tasty but over cooked burger. Interesting way of doing dirty fries. Good selection of Norwegian craft beer. They are an Untappd verified venue but, haven't updated the menu in over a month. They do not have a beer menu in house.

    This is THE best burger I’ve ever had and I love burgers 😂 When I was having a vacation in Tromsø a few days ago, we went in to this cafe and I asked for a recommendation regarding the burgers. I ended up getting the one with Brie cheese, and got bacon on it as well as was recommended to me. Life changing, no where in Bergen has anything close to this. The only down side to eating this burger is that no other burger will ever again satisfy me. Well bravo Blue Rock, you made sure I will be returning to Tromsø!!

  • 5/5 Vandana I. 1 year ago on Google
    We loved the atmosphere of the pub and the beer, fries and burgers were really really good. I would love to visit again if I get the chance to come to Tromsø again.

  • 5/5 Robin S. 1 year ago on Google
    I got directed to this excellent pub by a local. Great atmosphere and landlord. Has regular concerts upstairs and is clearly a local highlight in tbe city. Very close to port for Hurtigruten boats and a welcome change from the usual tourist traps.

    Best chicken burger in the world and best bar in the town. Had great time at this place during deployment. Love it.

    Food okay; the hostess was rude. As she applied lip gloss, I asked her if she had seating for two available. Her reply…”umm if you can find it..” She had on a ton of makeup (I’m from LA, so I’m not overstating this) so maybe she’s just young and insecure but it was horribly rude. The young man who got my food ordered was very polite and the food itself was alright. Order at the counter and they’ll bring it to you. It’s a cool location and if you’re into music or especially Norwegian black metal, you’ll find some of the decor familiar! Beer is tasty.

  • 4/5 Panoulis 1 year ago on Google
    It was near to city center. The prices were high like one beer 10€ The good part was that they checked our ID cards. There is a floor from guys <=18yo and a floor over 18 where you can by stronger drinks.

    The burger is ok but the fries are amazing, when you eat these fries you may think god just came down and blessed your tongue with this mouth-watering meal, but no, they're just that good. If I could choose between saving the world or getting one bite of this scrumptious, marvelous, top-notch, outstanding piece of food, well, RIP the world. If you ever find yourself in this magical place you must try the fries, if you don't, you will end up in deep depression later. So in conclusion, good food, would eat again.

    The beer was warm, the staff not so much (I guess unfriendly service or lack of it there for is still cool at certain places). The Smiths burger was not warm, though, but dry for sure as it laid in an oven for a decent hour. Fortunately it did have a slice of tomato and a piece of lettuce for company. I’d give a star for the crispy fries were they not charred black as my heart as I was leaving.

    If you love classic rock with a harder hard rock style cafe. Then this is the place for you! I had the Kennedy burger and it was good!! Definitely recommend and would go there again! A+

👍 Had an amazing fish soup as an appetizer and fish and chips for main! The soup was really good, I am definitely taking that fish soup as my main course when I visit next time! They had a lot of steak options too, but I was definitely in for the best cod you can get part of Norway!

😐 Average pizza, very dry on the edges. Calzones had way too much cheese and not much flavour. The coke tasted like it’s been watered down. The place is spacious and don’t need to reserve in advance. Needed to wait nearly an hour for a pizza and a calzone, though the place was not even half full. It s...

👍👍 We had a booking for Saturday evening, and I'm glad we did as it was very busy. We got 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 dessert and 2 cocktails for 1630NOK (£130). Everything was delicious, but the reindeer stake was one of the best things I've ever eaten. So much flavour! The restaurant is very cosy and the...
