Its worth coming to this place just to see the interior, which has cavernous, with tons of wood, and draped in chandeliers. Oh, and the beer is good too, especially the bottle list. The food looked good, but I didn’t try it. The service was excellent. Worth the very short walk from the main train station.

Beautiful and huge crystal chandeliers with high ceiling and dark wooden benches. Despite the fancy decor it was very friendly and comfortable place to share a beer. Great selection and the guy in the bar was friendly and nimble.

Best beer place in Oslo, barley beating out Håndverkerstuene. Rather... bourgeois decor, chandeliers, high ceilings, but nice enough service, if not the most knowledgeable. I recommend the whale, when they have it, if you don’t have a problem with the practice. Lengthy beer menu, be sure to get a fair share of Nøgne ø. Beware Norwegian prices.

Best selection in Oslo, but they should invest in a few more beer menus. Very good food, and a nice place.

Nice food, great selcetion of taps and bottled. For some reasons its hard to get service ( and a beer) quickly... So order by the bar, or order the second round before your glass is empty..

Great location, great interior and nice food. That’s a good start for a beer place, and i haven’t startet mention the beer yet. This place has the best selection of beer in Oslo, only competing with Håndverkerstuene. Still, the beer prices at Lompa are far more reasonable. The tap list is not superior, but still very good. Always some beers from Schoukjelleren on tap, also some other more rare beers. The belgian and american beer list is very good, also the NØ and HB beer list is very nice. Occationally you can find rare stuff, last time i was here i stumbled over NØ Dugges Sahti. A must visit place when in Oslo for beer nerds

15.10.2011. Great selection with lotsof different beer styles and contries. We had som sour Italian beers and some Norwegian micros from Inderøy. Very nice place! The girl behind the bar was helpful and had some good ideas for what to try. Nice place!

Perhaps the best beer place in Oslo. Very good selection of taps and bottles. Very nice meals (thou norwegian pricing). A well worth visit.

Olympen has a great selection in both Norwegian and foreign beers. Both on tap but not at least they have a great bottle selection. Great place to sit outside in the backyard in the shining sun. The food was quickly prepared and tastes quite alright. The staff was really polite and had no problems tapping the beer. This is the place #1 for me to visit next time in Oslo. Not to far to walk from the train/buss station.
