“Located as the last business when strolling down Nordostpassagen. Modern interior with imitated marble tables, varied tapestry, seventies rock on modest level, attentive service, fifteen well kept fresh beers, both their own and guests as Brewdog and Nøgne Ø. Daway daway, thumbs up!“

“Art Deco gastropub situated close to the Tromsø-bridge with a wonderful view of the harbour. 14 beers on tap. 4-5 from their in-house brewery. Multi-roomed. Modern. Cool place with a good beer selection and updated menus on-line. Table service, but you can also sit next to the bar and order directly. Food at an ok price. A must-visit in Tromsø. We look forward to enjoy their outdoor seating.“

“Nice location, would be a great patio spot in the summer, but enjoyed the other bars around more. If you’re short on time, this is skipable. Decent selection of beer, but staff seem a bit confused, lacking beer knowledge, and lazy by not updating the chalkboard menu (a number of beers had finished, but were still on the menu and there was mixed messaging about what had replaced it). Reminds me of Tap & Barrel in Vancouver.“

“Great little stop in Tromsø. Great food as well - good place to eat while you drink. Would rate higher if they had more taps, but it has a nice selection for what they do have.“

Nitty Gritty (Restaurant)
STORGATA 93A
“Heard they have juicy hamburger here, barbecue kitchen place. They have a very tasty bacon and cheese burger, and pleasant staff. Very good. While finishing my burger and light cola, I saw the tap row. Only seven taps, delightfully free from macros. There were: Amundsen, Beavertown, Brewdog, Graff, Graff, Lindheim and Ægir! Hereby approved as barbecue restaurant with good beers. Very nice.“

“Centrally located in a building dismatching the old town. Boring selection with the local beers mostly. For some reason I didn't like it too much...“

“Cellar, underground. A touch on the outskirts of the mainstream beaten path (yet still it's a stone throw from any attraction in this pocket size town). Impressive taplist, probably the biggest selection I've ever seen. Majority from their own local not-so-craft brewery. Oldschool interior. Helpfull staff but not hardcore hophead passionates.“

Graff Growler (Beer Store)
STORGATA 101
“Graff Bryggeri has moved their brewery plant further north on the island of Tromsø, but still keep a tap room in central part of town where the brewery used to be. It is now a growler fill station combined with a bottle shop. So far they only sell their own bottled beers and a few cans from Monkey Brew. Its a rather small growler fill room nicely decorated for Christmastime when I lasted visited the place in late December. They usually have growler fill each Friday afternoon. All beers are from 4.7 % abv and beyond. Friendly service as always. (Visited 22.12.2020).“

“Central location behind chocolate shop SweetHeart Storgata. One tap with Mack Pilsner and two dozen beers in fridge. Mostly norwegian cans and bottles. Nice romantic place for breakfast at ten o clock - not sundays. Nyt is a norwegian word, means Enjoy, Pleasure.“

“Maybe the best place to find more than one beer from Graff on tap? A fine place to enjoy fresh and hoppy beers from Graff. Opens early too! Sadly, I was not hungry. The food looked delicious. (Visited July 15th 2020)“

“For sure a very small bar! Only four small tables inside. Nice selection from Bryggeri 13 on tap. Friendly service. Visited with Rune and Finn and shortly after we settled down, djoeye joined us for a beer. Nice to meet the Tromsø RateBeer team again! (Visited July 15th 2020 with Rune, Finn and djoeye)“

“Primarily a place for wine lovers, but they stock a decent selection of bottled craft beers from local and regional brewers like Graff, Mack, Bådin, Svalbard and a few more. Beers from Mack and Graff on the taps. Tasty food with emphasis on boards with cheese and cured meats. Cozy, medium sized L-shaped room and bar in a modern layout at the first floor on a street corner in central part of town. The public library and Bardus can be found on the other sides of the street. Cafe Sånn is located near by, just a bit further north in the same street. Attentive, informative and friendly service at out stay. (Visited with Frau Eva 13.05.2020).“

Maskinverkstedet (Restaurant)
NORDØSTPASSASJEN 49
“A gourmet restaurant with a decent beer menu located at the site of a former shipyard in Tromsø, close to the bridge and the seaside. Mack and Bryggeri 13 beers on the tap, bottles from breweries like Kona, Einstøk, Liefmans, Spitsbergen, Mack, and quite a few from Bryggeri 13 which has its brewery located nearby. Medium sized, four-sided room in dark interiors and a few industrial artifacts spread around. Open kitchen and servery to the rear. The patio in front should be nice in sunny weather. Friendly service and tasty fish soup and brandade. Opened in early 2020 and already popular by the locals, surely even more popular when the tourists return. (Visited with friends 02.05.2020).“

“To get there: Bus 26 departs from Stortorget 2. Buy 2 bus tickets at Narvesen Kiosk-shop across the Havnegata street. The other for return bus trip. Or walk from Stortorget and across Tromsøsund Bridge towards Fjellheisen Sollivegen Tromsdalen - use googlemap. It is a beautiful 2500 metres walk, from top of the bridge you view the city harbour. Fjellheisen Cable Car funicular brings you to the upper station, with the cafe, and a fantastic panoramic view over the Tromsø island. The beers are Mack's ordinary lagers.“

“Seeing all the praises here on RB I was looking forward to visit this place. After trying to visit Graff (open only couple of times a year) and Bryggeri 13 (closed for street fair) with no luck I was a bit annoyed. It was also pouring rain. Agenturet was packed and the bartender was having some more interesting clients to spend time with but eventually I was served, briefly. I got a beer which was really tasty and expensive. After having enjoyed that with no place to sit I was ready to leave the place. I was disappointed.“

“I was trying to find this place in September but it seems to be open only few times a year. There was no information about the opening hours available. Too bad, as they seem to brew quite decent beers. Some Graff beers available on local Vinmonopolet stores.“

“First went to Cafe Sann, but as they didn't to small pours any longer, I went here instead. Small, cozy place. Seven beers on tap, and you could buy 150 ml pours. Great! All seven were new ticks for me. Great and friendly, and knowledgable, service. Prices are high, but hey, it's Norway. Will definitely go again next time I'm in Tromso.“

“*The* place to visit when you are in Tromsø. No less than 50 taps of domestic beers, most of them from the Arctic region. Very steep prices as always in Norway, but in line with the rest of the country. Only drawback was the overabundance of NE/Brut/Milkshake IPAs.“

Nice covfefe place. 2022: Extended with side room and wine on menu. Craft beer rotation on taps. Sometimes special beer events and tap takeovers, directed by the new beer legend in town, Tommy.“

“A micro pub just in the heart of the central pedestrian street of Tromsø. The place is an outlet for Brewyard beers (former: Bryggeri 13), and has always some of their own beers on the ten taps. A good selection of bottled and canned craft beers in the fridge. A four-sided room with timber cladding in slightly dark warm colours. Four tables with high chairs, two of them face the main street. L-shaped bar with the taps and a proper coffee machine. Friendly service. Finn and I visited the place just a day after they had opened, so not everything, like the opening hours, has been settled yet. Connected to a wine bar. They often have TTO by different breweries, like Neon Raptor, Siren, Cloudwater, Forager etc. Opens at noon every week day, at 18:00 on Sundays (Visited 25.06.2019 - and 20.06.2023).“

“A cocktail bar serving coffee, breakfast and lunch in the daytime and drinks during the afternoon, evening and night. A quite cozy little bar over two floors with the servery and kitchen to the right of the entrance. Located in the same central square as Prelaten, Compagniet and Agenturet. A decent selection of, mostly, Norwegian Beers on bottles and cans including Eik & Tid, Graff, Mack, Bryggeri 13, Haandbryggeriet, Cervisiam, and Kinn among others. Friendly service.

“Rather cozy and classy place in a very central location, that often means tourist trap, but not in this case. Nice selection of draft beer from the local Graff brygghus and the snack looked at least delicious. Several tables outside for enjoying the sunny days. Not dedicated beer place, but certainly a nice place to stop by for local craft beer and possibly a snack too. Friendly and attentive staff.“

“Cozy bar with nice selection. Visited several times during my visit to Tromsø (first time the 14th of May with Rune and Finn). Nice selection on tap - my visit was just after a tap takeover (LIC) so the variation there is hard to comment, but from the list of bottled beer the variation seem to be good. Friendly and attentive staff, good music and a relaxed, adult atmosphere. Tasty food that was reasonably priced (lunch menu). Convenient location in the city center too.“

“One of most lovely spots I've ever visited. Timber log walls and a low key / modern interior. Big focus on wines. Located just by the main pedestrian street with a spacious yard in front. Staff is savvy and helpful but one bartender is not enough when the place is full :/ Excellent spot, wish I was not the driver the day we dropped in.“
