Cafes, bars and pubs
The most popular drink in Norway is coffee which is drunk at any time of the day. Beer is also drunk by many people despite the high prices. Nobody has ever visited Norway without wondering about the prices for alcohol. Besides, there is Aquavit (akevit), schnapps which is made from potatoes and caraway. This significant drink is used with many Norwegian dishes as Lutefisk and Fårikål. Oslo is littered with cafes and bars where you can have small snacks and of course coffee. Aker Brygge is a lively area with many nice locations that are especially attractive during summer since tables are set outside where you can watch people pass by. Grünerløkka has many small cafes, bars and taverns which are mainly visited by young trendsetters. Resting on sofas from the 60s, drinking a good coffee latte or some nice cocktails and listening to professional DJs are what you can do in Grünerløkka. Majorstua is more popular among the elegant clientele from the west while Grønland is establishing to one of the hottest spots regarding new locations. Old smoky bars line up with extraordinary modern bars but they often change so quickly that you can not catch up. Best is to have a look at the Oslo Guide that is available at Hotels and the Tourist Information.
