Into the early hours, people are usually out on Karl Johans Gate. Aker Brygge/Tjuvholmen, the wharf area, has many bars and some nightclubs, attracting mostly tourists, couples on first dates, and other people willing to spend extra for the waterfront location. Grünerløkka and Grønland have even more bars, pubs, and cafés catering to a younger crowd. A more mature upmarket crowd ventures out to the less busy west side of Oslo, to Frogner and Bygdøy.
Drinking out can be very expensive, with prices varying greatly (from NKr 37 to NKr 127 for a pint of beer) depending on where in the city you are. Some bars in town remain quiet until 11 or midnight when the first groups of vorspiel partiers arrive. For nightlife listings, pick up a copy of the free monthly paper Natt og Dag or Friday's edition of Avis 1.
With a free-spirited vibe, this intimate jazz club is named for Gustav Henriksen, founder of the Amerikalinjen cruise ship company. The club in the basement of the Amerikalinjen Hotel boasts an excellent sound system, atmospheric lighting, and a cool crowd that hangs around until the wee hours of the morning.
This is one of the most happening clubs for jazz, electronica, hip-hop, and related sounds. The patio, along the Akerselva River, is popular in summer.
Diana Krall has played at this club, as have Angelique Kidjo, Cheb Khaled, Chick Corea, Bo Diddley, Mulatu Astatke, and many other beloved musicians. The calendar usually includes an eclectic mix of world music, jazz, and soul.
At Herr Nilsen, some of Norway's most celebrated jazz artists perform. There's live music most nights, jam sessions on Tuesday, and jazz on Saturday afternoon. Other than jazz, the focus is New Orleans--style music and bluegrass.
This atmospheric Art Deco–style movie house has been converted into a fun and funky venue for live music. Concerts are held in the converted cinema, which has room for 500 people. The old projection booth is a recording studio. To get a sense of the laid-back Grünerløkka lifestyle, chill out here with a cocktail.
Commonly referred to as Torggata Bad because the building used to be a public bathing facility, this club has a lineup that includes internationally known hard-rock, alternative, and hip-hop acts—Nick Cave, Blondie, and Fetty Wap have all appeared. Drink prices are steep.
