Ekspedisjonshallen

Oslo, Norway

Ekspedisjonshallen is the all-day brasserie and bar inside Sommerro House in Frogner, built around an opulent horseshoe bar and set against an original wall fresco by the painter Per Krohg. The room takes its cues from Scandinavian Art Deco of the 1930s and the house calls it a neighborhood living room: familiar, laidback, and open from breakfast through to the small hours. A house jazz band plays through the week with guest vocalists, and the kitchen runs classic brasserie cooking until ten. The bar is known for clean, elegant drinks and for a house Negroni infused with strawberries grown in Sommerro's own Lokka Lab. An age limit of twenty five applies from ten in the evening.
