You’re a fan of dramatic opera arias, but you can’t stand the stiff atmosphere among the public? In Oslo you can have your beer as you listen to a great soprano voice. At the Underwater Pub, professional singers is on stage every Tuesday and Thursday.

The entrance is free, but you are of course expected to buy a drink or two. And don’t talk when they sing! Wait till they have finished singing…

Fancy a glass of wine?

A good wine bar is hard to come by in Oslo, but you will find one at Grunerløkka, which for some years have stood out as the hippest area of the city. Dr. Kneipp is the corner affiliate of the more prominent restaurant Markveien Mat & Vinhus, reknown for good service and sublimation of Norwegian food.

Although Dr. Kneipp is as informal as you can wish, they stick to old fashioned service, and their list of wines are probably the largest in town. They have focused on Italy as the corner stone, but you will also have a decent choice of especially French and Spanish wines. Many wines are served by the glass, and they’ve got weekly offers. Prices are probably as low as they can afford – still, I have to warn you once again on Norwegian prices. It is, simply put, expensive to enter a restaurant. In this case, do it anyway.

Dr. Kneipp also provides you with what goes along with the wine; cheese, antipasti, and even a larger menu if you are in the mood. But remember that you are there for the wine.

Some people are unstoppable when something have gotten into their heads. Aksel Kolstad are one of them; he has worked for years to establish a permanent restaurant concert scene for classical music in Oslo. At Cafe de Concert you can enjoy classical music every night at 20.00, and the repertoire covers the lot.

Dinner and smaller dishes are served on request, or you can stick to a beer or a glass of wine at the bar.
