Badstugata 6, 0183 Oslo, Norge 2 hours
This is a massive arcade bar right by Rockefeller. They've got everything from old-school pinball to shuffleboard, plus a solid beer selection. The noise level is high with all the machines beeping, so it's easy to relax without everyone overhearing your business.
Why it works
The competitive streak comes out fast. It's easier to get to know someone while being active.
What to order
Swap a fifty-note for tokens and play some pinball. Or hit the shuffleboard if you want to chat more.
Best time to go
Early evening before it gets packed.
What it costs
400–600 NOK for two
