SMYKBAR
Prinsens gate 12, 0152 Oslo, Norge 2 hours
Right in the middle of Prinsens gate, you can sit down and actually make something with your hands. You get all the tools and beads or metal you need, and then you just let your creativity loose while hanging out. It's a nice break from those standard dates where you just sit and stare at each other over a glass of wine. Here you've got something to do while you talk.
Why it works
If you're the type who gets a bit restless just sitting still, this is gold. It's much easier to talk when your hands are busy.
What to order
Book well in advance if you're going during the weekend, and try making something for each other as a souvenir.
Best time to go
Afternoon before dinner.
What it costs
From NOK 1,400 for two
