Dattera til Hagen
Grønland 10, 0188 Oslo, Norge 2 hours
This spot is a bit tucked away in Grønland and has a very chill style. It's just the right amount of dark, making it easy to relax with a drink. The bartenders know their stuff without being pretentious. It's one of those places where you can sit for hours just talking. On Wednesdays they also have the 'Prøverøret' stand-up show. It gets pretty packed though, so make sure to arrive a bit early.
