    B.brormann B.bar

    One of Stavanger’s coolest bars where you can actually hear the conversation and with contemporary artworks on the brick walls, this oddly named bar draws a discerning over-30s crowd and serves great-value half-litre beers (Nkr58) and spirits (Nkr76 to Nkr91). This is where we drink when we’re in town.

    Transit Art Space

    This sophisticated little café is an adjunct to a fine, small gallery of changing and often avant-garde exhibitions. It does good coffee and sells great art books. If you can’t find it, look for the Mona Lisa baring her bottom on the wall outside.

    Café Sting

    Just up the hill but a world away, Café Sting is at once a mellow café and a funky cultural space with exhibitions, live jazz whenever the mood takes it and a weekend nightclub where the DJs keep you on your toes, spinning house, hip-hop and soul.

    Paparazzi Cocktail Bar

    For more sophistication than most Stavanger bars can muster, this clean-lined place attracts a chic crowd most nights. It also has a restaurant.

    Irishman

    Stavanger’s friendly Irish pub has (free) live Irish folk music at least twice a week in summer.

    Kino Z

    For cinema features (some in English), try the eight-screen Kino Z in the Kulturhus.

    Mamasita

    This appealing café-bar by the lake is wonderfully removed from the tourist scrum.
