Fun and entertainment Nord-Norge

This is the local Hard Rock Café, all in hard blue. Young people enjoy pizza and beer in harmony with the rock music. The restaurant boasts the best burgers in town. The place turns into a disco on Fridays and Saturdays. You can sit on 3 levels at tables of varying sizes and in slightly different atmospheres. The place is rather young, animated, nice to start the evening. We may prefer to go and dance elsewhere because even at the end of the week, the atmosphere is not that of a club.

At the end of the main street, Ølhallen means beer hall. It is the pub of the northernmost brewery in the world, but also the oldest pub in Tromsø. Here seal hunters used to come and tell their stories, now every Friday it is the place where the locals have to go for debauchery. In the heart of the old stones, the atmosphere is hushed and the pints are well filled. The walls pay homage to Henry Rudi, the famous polar bear hunter. The tavern atmosphere of the brick walls makes the place more than warm.

A very nice place inside, almost chic. A long bar is on the right as you come in, the subdued atmosphere will invite you to settle down in one of the sofas located on small bleachers. One comes there rather well dressed, without overdoing it. The evening starts out softly and then turns into an afterwork until, on the weekend, the DJ gets on the decks and gets the whole room moving to all kinds of tunes. In the summer you can enjoy the terrace overlooking a lively street in the city centre. A good place to get a taste of the nightlife.

This unpretentious café located towards the port allows you to have lunch with a view of the pier and the arrival of the ferries. The place is very popular with both tourists and locals of all ages, chatting, playing billiards and hanging out over a drink. A rather strange atmosphere in this village at the end of the world, where everyone seems to wonder what they are doing here. It is nevertheless a nice place to eat local specialties, or to have a drink with a clear view of the port and the surrounding cliffs.

An excellent restaurant with a varied menu inspired by French cuisine. The interior is chic, leather benches, flowery upholstery and pretty chandeliers. Hard to imagine that this place turns into one of the most atypical and frequented nightclubs of the city, on Friday and Saturday evenings! In a vast restored wooden building, a young clientele comes to party on weekends. Atmosphere assured, for those under 25 years old. The place also has a wine and beer bar, for those who would like to spend a good evening, perhaps a little quieter.

The Barrique Vinbar is the place to be for wine-lovers nostalgic for the old country! In a calm, comfortable atmosphere, the attentive service will present a varied wine list (Sauvignon, Champagne, Bordeaux...) as well as draught beers. To accompany the drinks, the Barrique Vinbar offers small tasting boards to share with friends, featuring assorted charcuterie, pâtés, cheeses, olives and tapas. It's the perfect place for those looking for a relaxing evening of exceptional products.

Jernteppet means "the iron curtain" in Norwegian. One of the nicest bars in the area, with a large choice of beers from all over the world. The clientele is very rich and varied, young and old come here to chat. In the summer, the terrace overlooking the harbour is a great place to watch the midnight sun. In winter, the atmosphere is just as nice: cosy and small candles... Normal prices for Norway, i.e. about ten euros per beer. To be tested nevertheless!

The panoramic bar located on the 16th floor of the Scandic tower, gives us the impression of overlooking the city. In the evening in winter, the lucky ones will be able to admire the northern lights. They also serve small dishes (snacks, salads...) at good prices. As usual, you just have to be careful about what you decide to drink with your meal because the bill can quickly become very expensive in Norway! That said, with so much sea water nearby, it's not so surprising! On a more serious note, it's a chic bar with a remarkable view.

One of our favorite addresses in Narvik. This little pub is a little out of the way and caters for both locals and tourists. It's one of the oldest pubs in town! The atmosphere is guaranteed, and many events are organized (quizzes, concerts, games...). There's also a good selection of beers, both local and mainstream, to keep beer lovers happy. A recommended address for those wishing to immerse themselves in Norwegian culture for an evening, or simply to take a break during the day.

Opened by a group of happy friends, this is the café adjoining the 1916 cinema: one of our favourite addresses with events all week long, intimate concerts and DJs in the evening. Quality films are offered and the same goes for concerts. See the program online or directly on the spot, ask for it the^first day of your arrival! A large choice of vinyl records is available to listen to the music of your choice. On Thursday evening, they also serve good home-made dishes, tapas and sandwiches. Good spirit and nice decoration.

Our recommendation for a very good fair trade coffee in the centre of Bodø. This little place offers excellent coffees and chocolates (try the chocolate with brown cheese and the ones with cod) as well as very good pastries. You can also find homemade ice creams with original and honest flavours! On request, the doors of the roasting factory will be opened to you, revealing a little of the secrets of this gourmet and singular little address. The Melkebaren premises are well known to the inhabitants of Bodø! To be tested!

This second-hand café is housed in the old building, which used to be the editorial office of the oldest newspaper in Tromsø. Today, locals come to eat foccacia or homemade soup at lunchtime, sitting on school chairs or upholstered armchairs, in the coffee corner at the entrance or in the spacious and bright room a little higher up. A really nice place, for all budgets and where you eat in beautiful mismatched dishes.

Tromsø and Bodø have always fought for the title of capital of the Great North, even today! The story goes that the inhabitants of Bodø, seeking to distinguish themselves, said to Tromsø, a town without train service, "at least we can have a drink at the station café! And so Tromsø created its own "station café". A popular bar, where you sit on train seats, sipping your beer to the rhythm of the wacky announcements on the loudspeakers. And then here, no risk to miss your train! Concerts quite often.

A stone's throw from the port, the Agenturet is an elegant bar. Cosy atmosphere lit by candles, around the bar with exposed stones. It is in a building dating from 1840, that you come to drink good wine and good beers. About 120 different beers and 250 wines to choose from, in other words, enough to satisfy amateurs as well as connoisseurs. Meals are served from 11am to 6pm, everything is home made. The prices are quite reasonable and the team is very friendly and smiling. A place from which one leaves completely satisfied and full!

Pushing open the door of the Maras Pub, travelers will discover a warm, relaxed atmosphere. All the atmosphere of a typical pub is there: large wooden tables, a selection of beers and wines as well as plates of cold meats and dishes will welcome customers. From time to time, the Maras Pub plays host to artists, showcasing the local musical culture. The owners and their regular clientele keep the place lively, so don't go if you're looking for peace and quiet! This pub is ideal for chatting with the locals over a beer.

Café Bakeribygget is a place to consider if you're looking for a pleasant coffee break, a quiet place for brunch, or if you'd like to discover delicious local homemade pastries. The Bakeribygget offers a variety of freshly baked goods: breads, viennoiseries, brioches, cakes... There's something for every taste and every budget! All accompanied, of course, by specialty coffees prepared by experienced baristas. You'll always receive a warm welcome from the owner.

The traveler who wants to take a small, relaxed and warm break will surely stop at Mormors! This small café seems to be unpretentious at first glance, but don't be fooled! The warm welcome and the simple and inexpensive menu will satisfy coffee lovers and those wishing to enjoy a small sweet or savory snack. Why not treat yourself to a homemade sandwich or a bacon salad, generously garnished toast, or fresh fruit creations? Coffee specialties will be appreciated at breakfast!

A rustic and lively pub, where locals and tourists meet. The atmosphere is lively, especially on match nights, when the fans sing along. People like to sit down and have a drink, perhaps an Isbjørn, the beer brewed in Tromsø, in the northernmost brewery in the world. It's not unusual to get into a conversation with the local chatterboxes. A bubble of joy and good humour in this harsh climate and in an otherwise fairly quiet village. Recommended address.

6 to 9 rooms in this modern complex, at the entrance of the glass gallery.

Small bar without pretension, but with a good atmosphere. Very intimate, very dark (you have to like it!), with small candles, it is a rock-oriented pub. The establishment offers music quiz nights and regularly invites DJs. There is also a pool table, which is really nice! But beware of the alcohol trap, because in Norway, it will cost you a lot of money very quickly! And then, what about the bike ride the next day if you come back to your accommodation in an unbearable state? A lively evening in perspective!
