A
Rick’s Café
The original Rick’s burnt down (at least one major conflagration over the years is almost a rite of passage in Norway) and this slick reconstruction is all edgy stainless steel on the ground floor while upstairs, more for quiet cocktails and lingering wines, it has sink-down-deep leatherette sofas and armchairs. The weekend nightclub in the basement has two zones – one for rock, the other playing house.

Macbeth
Homesick Scots will feel at home, Geordies with nostalgia can weep into their draught Newcastle Brown, and the rest of us can watch big-screen football or car racing (don’t get yourself into the corner where the committed race-goers sit, though, or you’ll be persona-really-non-grata). Absolutely everyone can enjoy a dram or two of its more than a dozen single malt whiskies…

Dokkhuset
In an artistically converted former pumping station (look through the glass beneath your feet at the old engines), the Dock House is at once an auditorium (where if it’s the right night you’ll hear experimental jazz or chamber music), restaurant and café-bar. Sip a drink on the jetty or survey the Trondheim scene from its roof terrace.

Trondheim Microbryggeri
This splendid home-brew pub deserves a pilgrimage as reverential as anything accorded to St Olav from all committed øl (beer) quaffers. With up to eight of its own brews on tap and good light meals (around Nkr150) coming from the kitchen, it’s a place to linger, nibble and tipple.

Bruk Bar
Inside, candles flicker and designer lamps shed light onto the 30-or-so-year-olds who patronise this welcoming joint. The music is eclectic, varying at the whim of bar staff, but guaranteed loud. Outside, the street-side terrace, just off Torvet, is ideal for people-watching.

Olavshallen
Trondheim’s main concert hall, Olavshallen, within the Olavskvartalet cultural centre, is the home base of the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra. However, it also features international rock and jazz concerts, mostly between September and May.

Tiger Tiger
The three storeys of this kitsch disco display a sub-Disney combination of artefacts, purportedly from South Africa, India and Polynesia. DJs cater to the masses, who flock in by the hundreds.

Supa
The downstairs nightclub of Bruk Bar, once a wine cellar, continues the longstanding association with alcohol. DJs spin house, jungle, drum and bass with liberal lashings of R&B.

Studentersamfundet
During the academic year, it has 10 lively bars, a cinema and frequent live music, while in summer it’s mostly a travellers’ crash pad.
