• Kafeen, Skostredet 12
• Folk og Røvere, Skostredet 4
• Minibar, Kong Oscarsgate 44

A few things about Norwegian law..

Drinking alcohol in public places is prohibited and may result in a fine from the police.

It is illegal to bring alcohol into a bar/restaurant and also to take the drink with you outside unless they have a clearly marked area that allows it.
