Oslo

Live Music entertainment in Oslo

  1. A

    Olympen

    A freakish, century-old workers' beer hall, populated by students, artists and drunks, featuring awesomely cheesy cover bands (Bob Jovi) and cheap beer (around NOK33) in a cavernous space full of elaborate wooden booths and huge oil paintings of faded, unrecognisable cityscapes.

  2. B

    Spasibar

    West of the centre, the Russian, cowboy-themed and just plain bizarre Spasibar has live music, food, beer, art and a garden overlooking the Slottsparken. To get there go through the Kunstacademe on Wergelandsveien and go towards the back of the yellow building.

    Garage

    In addition to Norwegian bands, Garage books international rock acts like Death Cab for Cutie and the Beautiful People. While the sound system is good, the view is not thanks to a too-low stage.

    Mono

    An upbeat place is the rock club Mono, which is known for being ahead of the curve on booking good indie bands.
