A
Verdensteatret
Norway’s oldest film house will satisfy both cinephiles and thirsters after great cafés. The bar is a hip place with free wi-fi, occasional live music and weekend DJs. At other times, the barperson spins from its huge collection of vinyl records, so expect anything from classical to deepest underground. Peek into the magnificent cinema, its walls painted roof to ceiling with early 20th-century murals. It shows art house and independent films on an ad hoc basis.

Abboteke
At this retro cocktail bar (the music’s bebop, big band or bland Ray Connif), upstairs from Le Mirage, the barman shakes a selection of award-winning cocktails. Behind him shimmer over 40 brands of single malt whisky and an equally impressive range of rums and brandies. There’s also a reputable restaurant open for dinner Monday to Saturday.

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.

Ølhallen Pub
At Mack Brewery’s Ølhallen Pub you can sample its fine ales right where they’re brewed. Perhaps the world’s only, never mind most northerly, watering hole to be closed in the evening, it carries eight varieties on draught.

Skarven
Companion to Arctandria and Biffhuset, Skarven has an extensive waterfront terrace and offers fine bar meals and well-priced fish dishes – unsurprisingly since it includes selections from these two choice restaurants.

F
Le Mirage
A less rowdy crowd, many of them seasoned regulars, gather at Le Mirage, with its deep leather armchairs and a gilded cherub gazing benignly down. It also serves reasonably priced sandwiches, salads, pastas and casseroles.

Strut
This is a place of contrasts. Downstairs, with beers on draught and pool tables, is pubby while upstairs, where 1970s and ’80s disco music pounds, is decidedly retro.

Strøket
This place attracts a young, post-acne crowd and gets down and dirty on weekend nights. Climb to the top of its three levels to watch the masses writhing below.

Blå Rock Café
The loudest, most raving place in town has theme evenings, over 50 brands of beer, occasional live bands and weekend DJs. The music’s rock, naturally.

Tromsø Jernbanestasjon
This engaging railway-themed pub is typical local humour – Tromsø has never, ever had a railway station.
