Cardinal

Finally I got to visit this legendary place! My expectations was high and Cardinal delivered. Located in the old part of the city in the narrow cobbled streets, and is almost travelling back to the 1800s. The two-storey pub has old and dark interior suitable for its surroundings. Just about half full a friday evening, and with a quite calm atmosphere. The second floor is more open than the first, and with large tables suitable for larger groups. The beer meny is fabolous and I was happy to find cask ale as well.

Klimat duzego, wyspiarskiego pubu. 2 poziomy z bardzo duza iloscia kranów. Duzy, ciekawy wybór, duzo miejsca ale i duzo ludzi. Obowiazkowa pozycja.

At the time of writing the Cardinal ranked 28th in Ratebeer World places. A typical Scandinavian view of an English pub. Some decent beers on tap, although was disappointed with independent Norwegian selection, and some absolutely appalling beers on tap. While I am sure this was worthy of top 100 status in past, and while it's still a very solid pub and we'll worth visiting if in Stavanger, it's been left in the past. They need to get rid of the rubbish beers and get more of the excellent Norwegian beers on board. Then it will deserve to be in top 100.

Its location is very convenient to the cruise ships dock. Took a while to finally find but I did. The highest price I have ever seen for a 33 cl bottle of a modest imperial stout.

toda una institución con 22 surtidores y más de 450 referencias en botella. En cuanto a decoración es una pasada, tiene cierto toque british, pero no es tan clásico; las lámparas me llamaron mucho la atención; la zona de banco de cuero acolchado con las estatuas de los dálmatas donde nos sentamos era súper cómoda; la barra es enorme en forma de semicírculo; y el camarero que nos atendió nos dio buenos consejos, aunque a Débora no se lo acertó con la Ulriken de 7Fjell, ya que ese tipo de IIPAs no le molan demasiado, pero a mí me la acertó de vellón: Smells Like Bean Spirit de Cervisiam, una Imperial Brown Ale con lactosa, torrefacta y con buena dosis de lúpulo, ¡un show! También hay que añadir que es Noruega y allí las cosas se pagan, así que ya os digo que barato no es, pero vale la pena la visita.

It's been there for ages, and it still delivers. Local and national craft on tap, Imports you won't find elsewhere. An institution, and rightly so.

Really the best place for beer in stavanger. Awesome selection on two floors and crazy different beers! the ambiance is amazing!

What is there to say about this place that is not allready said.
Just go here. Solid beer selection. Nice interior. Knowledgable staff. Friendly atmosphere. It is possible to sit Down and have a normal convercation. Sentral location!
