Magic Ice Bar

Fodor's choice
Everything on the premises is made of ice, down to the barstools, the tables, and even the glasses. Ice sculptures of some of Norway's most intrepid explorers make you feel like you're getting a history lesson along with your beer. If you're a little chilly, the staff will loan you a parka.

Blå Rock Café

The city's largest selection of beers can be found at the Blå Rock Café, which has a popular jukebox, frequent live concerts, and DJs on weekends. It's also famous for its burgers.

Rorbua Pub

Rough-planked walls and hand-hewn beams create a rustic atmosphere at Rorbua Pub. Reminiscent of a Norwegian fisherman's cottage, the pub is a cozy place to try the famous Mack Beer, a distinctive craft brew from the world's northernmost brewery. Rorbua Pub hosts live music Wednesday through Saturday.
