Fun and entertainment Stavanger

Ogna Scene is a unique venue an hour by train or 40 minutes by car from Stavanger. It is a concert café where music, poetry, dance and fantasy are presented in various forms and formats. A retro, timeless and unique place. Slow down and live like a local. We like the intimate atmosphere with a few colored lights, small lanterns guinguette style, frames full of walls, old objects here and there arranged nonchalantly for the pleasure of the eyes. But what we appreciate the most of course, are the top concerts!

Our favourite address in Stavanger is in the heart of this pretty coloured street, Ovre Holmegate. From the outside, it looks like a bookstore, but the pretty terrace in front of it invites you to come in and enjoy a good organic and fair trade coffee, or a cold beer (large selection!). The place also invites you to chat. Often full to bursting, we meet some nice people. Some evenings, you can attend a live concert. Cosy atmosphere and varied clientele, you can go there with your eyes wide open!

Next to the previous one, a younger rock café, arranged around a large circular bar in the centre. There are often concerts here and on nights when there are no musicians, the DJ plays Nirvana, Rage against the machine, etc. Sometimes there are up to three concerts a week, so if you check the line-up before you arrive in Stavanger, you should be able to find something to your liking. Buy tickets online if possible. Just remember that alcohol is super expensive in Norway, it's not a myth.

The official brewer of Stavanger has finally got its own place! You will be able to taste 21 types of beers with a complete selection of Lervig and other craft, Norwegian and international breweries. They also organize many parties, quizzes and other entertainment. For beer lovers, this is the place to be in Stavanger. You should know that they make incredible non-alcoholic beers! For the skeptics, test them and you will not feel any difference. Quite useful in a country that has zero tolerance for drinking and driving.

A nice bar with a rather nice decoration, mixing old and modern and a patio for those who prefer to sip a beer in the fresh air. Good atmosphere, concert evenings are organized very regularly, see online program. Mainly parties with DJs to set the dancefloor on fire. It's so good to let off steam after all this period of confinement and deprivation of human warmth! A place that will not please everyone but that is worth spending a moment there, even if it's only a small one!

Trendy bar, club and brunch where locals gather every day of the week. Events of all kinds, mainly techno music. Pink neon chalet chic and a lovely terrace and patio to enjoy the summer. The boudoir on the top floor tops it all off. Located in the former premises of Café Sting, a mecca for the city's musical culture, Le Loft aims to take up the torch. There's a selection of cocktails to suit every occasion, and for those who prefer the quiet, don't forget to book Sunday brunch!

There is a warm and friendly atmosphere in this pub with red brick walls. Here, oil engineers mingle with other night owls from the city, over pizza, bottled and draught beers, cocktails and other tasty drinks. Lots of different sandwiches to go with the Norwegian tradition of matpakke, schoolboy sandwiches at lunchtime or on a hike. A place to party. In the summer, a terrace where it is good to stay a few hours, often with live music.
