Vega Scene
Hausmanns gate 28, 0182 Oslo 3 hours
Vega is more than just a cinema. They show movies that are a bit off the beaten path, and the whole place has a very laid-back feel. The bar upstairs is great for sitting and looking out towards the river. It’s one of those spots that feels modern without being stiff.
Why it works
Movies are perfect if you're a bit nervous, since it gives you plenty to talk about at the bar afterwards.
What to order
Meet at the bar an hour before the movie starts and have a beer or a glass of wine while you wait.
Best time to go
Wednesday or Thursday evening
What it costs
600-800 NOK for two
