Fuglen
Universitetsgata 2, 0164 Oslo 2 hours
Fuglen is a mix of everything cool. They sell vintage 60s furniture while serving top-notch coffee. It’s one of the few spots in town that works as both a cafe and a cocktail bar without feeling forced. The place is packed with design gems, and the vibe is always laid-back. It gets busy, but that’s just part of the charm. You sit close, and the conversation flows easily.
Why it works
It's the perfect transition from coffee to alcohol. If the date goes badly, you just have that one coffee. If it goes well, the bar is right there.
What to order
Grab a coffee first, and if things are going well, switch to a Fuglen Highball.
Best time to go
Late afternoon when the light starts to change.
What it costs
300–600 NOK
