Oslo Travel Guide: Grünerløkka
Grünerløkka is one of the most interesting neighborhoods in Oslo, a hipster paradise a 10 minute walk from Central Station. Surprisingly few tourists visit Grünerløkka, and that's really a pity. Some of the nicest cafes and bars in Oslo are located in Grünerløkka, and it's a foodies paradise.
The main street of Grünerløkka is Thorvald Meyers gate. Thorvald Meyers gate starts where Ankerbrua brigde crosses Akerselva river, and ends at Birkelunden park in the north. Tram lines 11, 12 and 13 have three stops along Thorvald Meyers gate. From south to north:
Schous plass
Olaf Ryes plass
Birkelunden
Most of the shops, bars, restaurants and cafes on Grünerløkka are located around the Birkelunden and Olaf Ryes plass parks, and in the segment of Thorvald Meyers gate that is connecting them.
The street parallel to Thorvald Meyers gate, closer to Akerselva river, is Markveien. The lower parts of Markveien houses many quirky shops and vintage boutiques. There are also a few cafes and bars, like Espresso House and the Brewdog pub.
The area by Akerselva around Blå is a particularly beautiful part of the river. It is known for it's grafitti and industrial style. There are a few bars/cafes here, and Blå is also one of the best nightclubs in Oslo.
Also by Akerselva river is the Oslo Food Court (Mathallen). Unlike other shops in Oslo which must remain closed on Sundays, Mathallen is allowed to stay open.
Other options for Sunday shopping in Oslo are the flee markets at Birkelunden, and the smaller flee market outside of Blå, by the river. They are open mostly every Sunday, all year around.

Oslo Nightlife: Grünerløkka
Check out the best bars in Oslo's finest bar district. This is where Oslo locals go to drink, well away from the touristy bars in Karl Johans gate and downtown Oslo.
Django is a jazz bar at the top of Grünerløkka, by Birkelunden park. They have live jazz performances Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday. The bands are regulars, but there are different ones on different days.
Tea Lounge is a cozy bar by Birkelunden park.
Cafe 33 is a famous dive bar in Thorvald Meyers gate, at the corner of Birkelunden. It has recently been refurbished and is now called Sport 33. It's a great place to watch the game, they even have a 92 plasma screen. After dark in the weekends, the big screens go off and it's back to the good ol' 33 again. This bar closes at 3 am. every day of the week. When the other surrounding bars close earlier at 1 am. on weekdays, this place usually gets crowded.
Bar Boca was the first cocktail bar on Grünerløkka when it opened in 1998, and it's a real hipster place. The music is Rumba, Mambo, 50's, Rockabilly, Surf. You should try the Dry Martini, which is the classic Bar Boca drink.
Grünerløkka Brygghus is a micro brewery pub which has food and 21 beers on tap, where 13 of them have been brewed close by, on Grünerløkka.
Aku Aku bar is a tiki bar. Feel the tropical vibes while enjoying one of the three local beers from tap, or have a cocktail with in-house squeezed juices. They are famous for their rum based chili drinks.
Chair is Norway's only gin bar. They have more than 100 types of gin, and 9 beers on tap. The music profile is motown and funk.
Fru Hagen is a popular bar which attracts a mixed crowd. They have DJ's in the weekends, and dancing may occur. This bar has been here for over 20 years, so they must be doing something right.

Mir / Grünerløkka Lufthavn is an alternative bar, hidden away in a backyard in Toftes gate. There are lots of concerts of alternative music here, and the place has existed for over 20 years. You can play the foosball table in the basement, or sit in the old airline seats by the stage.
Qadis is located in a building which has housed some really nasty bars earlier, but this time they got it right. The new owners have completely changed the bar to a sports bar/cocktail bar. In the weekends it's more danceable music, and there will be a long queue. They have 7 beers on tap.
Glød is a chill beer and wine bar with varied music played exclusively from vinyl.
Hytta is another small cozy bar right next to Glød. It's the hang-around for local artists, and they play strictly vinyl of course.
Alexandria is one of the oldest pubs on Grünerløkka. You can watch the game here, and a cover band plays Rolling Stones etc. on Mondays. This place has the cheapest beer on this list.
Bettola is a cocktail bar at the end of Thorvald Meyers gate, right by Nybrua bridge. They play mainstream music, and they have fantastic cocktails. The furniture is exclusively Scandinavian from the 60's and 70's, and you can actually purchase it if you like.
Territoriet is a wine bar in Markveien. They have 450 different wines which can be ordered by glass, and they also have one beer on tap. The music has rock profile, and it's only vinyl (duh).
BD57 is the name of the BrewDog pub in Oslo, it's also in Markveien. They have pub food until 9 pm., burgers, ribs, and more. They have a new beer on tap almost every day, and about 20 on tap at any given time.
Syng is a karaoke bar by the Akerselva river. They have four karaoke rooms, and a large main area. In the weekends they play upbeat music you can dance to. There will be a line after 12 in the weekends.
Ingensteds and Blå are two nightclubs on Grünerløkka, by Akerselva river. Blå is the oldest and most well known of the two, and they are both very popular. Expect long lines after 9 pm in the weekends.
Party hard, and take care!
Hyperlapse: Thorvald Meyers gate, Oslo, Norway
Thorvald Meyers gate is the main street of Grünerløkka. This moving timelapse was filmed on a quiet Saturday in July 2016. Except for downtown and Karl Johans gate, Oslo is very relaxed in July because everybody is on summer holiday.
This video starts at Nybrua, goes up along Thorvald Meyers gate, passes Olaf Ryes plass park on the left side, and later Birkelunden park on the right side. The video ends at Sannergata intersecting street, right by Ringnes park and Ringen kino.

Angie Ford and Chris Angvik - ♥ Let´s Make Out ♥ - the Birkelunden Park - Oslo
Angie Ford, USA, and Chris Angvik, Norway, performing Let´s Make Out in the Birkelunden Park on May 7, 2011. They were entertaining on a market day in The Grüner Village of Oslo.
At 0´35 in the video you will see some freaks who want marijuana to be legal. That´s not going to happen, because Norway is a country of beer and burps, and we didn´t exactly invent the wheel either. Images were shot in the Birkelunden Park and Kuba Park in the area of Grünerlokka. This area is a kind of Greenwich Village of Oslo.
N: Visesangeren Angie Ford og gitaristen Chris Angvik opptrer med sangen Let´s Make Out under Markedsdagene 7. mai 2011. Konklusjonen er tekstet mot slutten av videoen.
Date: May 7, 2011.
Location: The Birkelunden Park and the Kuba Park, Oslo, Norway.
