Best Cocktail Bars in Norway

Norwegian bars lean on homegrown spirits and handsome old buildings, and the best cocktail bars in Norway sit mostly in Oslo. Himkok on Storgata was No. 10 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2023, is No. 24 on The 50 Best Bars 2026 and is The Best Bar in Norway on Europe's 50 Best Bars 2026, with a courtyard pouring local beer and cider. Svanen on Karl Johans gate builds its Stolen Apples from rum, gin, green apple, lapsang souchong and shiso. Pier 42 at the Amerikalinjen hotel is named for Pier 42 in New York and takes no seat reservations. In Trondheim, Britannia Bar serves the city's history in a glass. These are the bars we would start with.
