    Cozy and lovely decorated bar in the basement of a really old house. Nice selection of spirits and even cocktails. Awesome light installation for live concerts. Anbefales!

    Great bar with great live music. Wasn’t exactly the “punk bar” as I imagined from the name, but it’s a really cool spot. Beer on tap selection is limited, but it’s good stuff (Mack). Went here about four times over the course of two weeks and was never disappointed.

    Nice corner spot, Tiki bar upstairs with interesting cocktails and music. Downstairs, a red room with heavier music and a great underground vibe.

    Very nice place, the inside is beautiful. We went there on a tuesday, there's apparently a jam every tuesday, and that was super nice. The people were super kind and welcoming and we had a super nice time!

    What a great US style dive bar for live music. And I mean this in the best way. Fav bar so far in all of Norway.

  • 5/5 Sally C. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited this bar a number of times when i was in Tromso. Friendly staff and a nice guy who runs it. Cocktails were good - i reccomend the Harlequin (so refreshing). If i am ever back in Tromso i will visit again. They have funny posters in the female toilets. I believe they also have some great live music every Tuesday (unfortunately we missed it) - but it did seem like the place to have up and coming singers performing frequently through the week. I would also reccomend that you visit Misfit Tiki bar directly above this (same owners)

    Went for a drink and in the end stayed for a small live metal concert. Everybody had so much fun and people treated us very nicely. I am glad bars like this still exist. Defintely worth a visit.

    Good bar with draft beers on tap. Cocktails were good to. Football was on when I was there. Crystal Palace 0-0 Liverpool if you're interested

  • 5/5 Darling D. 5 years ago on Google
    Love this bar! Great drinks, good beer and nice staff/bartenders. It's a great place with good music, and at a level where you can still hold a conversation without shouting yourself horse.

    Great atmosphere, great staff, great music and beer

  • 5/5 Pransh T. 2 years ago on Google
    The locals themselves told that this is one of the best bars in Tromsø. The bartender has a great taste in music, as the songs played during my time spent here were really good. Had to Shazam few of them. Good beer, funky artwork in the washrooms (photos attached), nice ambiey.

👍👍 This is a must stop for a beer fan. It is the taproom for Mack Brewery, reputed to be the northernmost brewery in the world. The taproom is in the cellar of the brewery. There something like 72 taps. Amazing! Come thirsty, not hungry. Plenty of brew but no food to speak of. With that many...

👍👍 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...

👍 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 fo...
