    Ramm Kjelleren

    This wonderfully atmospheric place occupies the bank vaults of a building dating from the mid-1700s. Cool bar staff, great decoration and a buzzy ambience when full make for a great evening out. It offers (free) live music on Friday night at around 9pm.

    Kaos

    A cool basement hangout with low beams and bare brick walls, Kaos engages arthouse and underground DJs (Friday and Saturday) and bands (up to three times weekly). Carrying UK and Norwegian football, it also has a faithful following of armchair sporting regulars. Capacity is 90, squeezed close, so show up early for big games and band nights.
