Going out in Oslo is an expensive business, with a pint of beer costing well over £5, and spirits even more, but there is still plenty to do and enjoy in the city when the sun goes down.
Typically, the locals bypass the expense of getting drunk in bars by having a few cheeky ones at home before going out at around 10pm, before staying out until the early hours in the night clubs.
The club scene in Oslo is changing all the time, and clubs are often only open for a short time before being re-launched under a new name and with a different music policy than before, so it's a good idea to check out a what's on guide when you get to the city to plan your nights out there.
Popular bars include Nichol & Son (with lots of pictures of Jack Nicholson on the walls), 3 Brodre, which has a relaxed feel, and Jens Jap Pub in the Radisson SAS Hotel. For later drinking in Oslo, Rebekka West is well established and large club that attracts a fashionable crowd and some big name DJs.
