Large place, dark and cozy interior. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food. Beer list is not large, but is well chosen, with a good variety of local stuff and things from farther afield.

A beutiful place - really well kept with white chalked walls with decorations on, almost medival. Light wooden floor and dark wooden tables, chairs, and bar. Quite a good selection of especially bottled beers, but also some seldom beers on draft - you can get a sampler of small glasses of the draft beers, but some of them might be known to you. Pricey as everything in Norway - even for a Dane. Didn’t eat.

Håndverkerstuene, right in the middle of the Norwegian capital, is fast becoming one of the most exciting places for beer drinking in the whole country. On my last visit I found myself among the happy company of other ratebeerians (Sigmund, OleR and KnutAlbert) sampling quality ales from Japan, USA and Norway. The eating experience was a great treat, too - I had a delicious made tenderloin steak. According to other guests, the stout brownies, with vanilla ice cream, for dessert, was just as exciting as it sounds. With the additional qualities of a service minded and knowledgeable staff and a welcoming atmosphere, this is a very consistent beer related place, at least compared to Norwegian standards (visited on Friday 19th March 2010).

Nice cousy place, friendly staff, good beer, central, good food. What else do you really want? :-)

A fine addition to the Oslo scene - a classic restarunat redecorated and turned into a beer focused bar and restaurant. The only place in town where you can try a sampler tray of beers from various Norwegian micros. Haandbryggeriet, Nøgne ø and Ægir on tap, BrewDog in the fridge. Update: Even more taps, including guests. Great food and beer pairings.

A favourite pub in Oslo, soon equal to Olympen. I spent some time here Wednesday and a Thursday last week. It was not to crowded and I enoyed some good beer from Haandbryggeriet, Japan and some American micro. A place to return to, and easy to reach.

One of the focal points on the Norwegian beer scene. A real interest in beer and food, makes this a must stop when in Oslo. Norwegian as well as Scandinvian micros on tap, good food, what more is there to wish for?

A very good beer menu, and very tastefull food. This is one of the best beer destinations in Oslo, and probably the best place if you want both beer and food. Excellent service, we got water on the table just a few minutes after we arrived, and the glass never got empty. The food was excellent and the beer menu is pretty impressive.

Been there on a tip from Knut Albert, only stopped for a beer, standing, because my friends weren’t interested and waiting for me outside (eh). A nicely decorated restaurant that doesn’t have an enormous amount of taps but what they have is quality, rare, mostly local and balanced style-wise. I ended up with the lovely Ægir IPA because my brain wasn’t working and I didn’t ordered their new and possibly rare Altbier. Still, the beer I got was more than enjoyable. Very good service too. When I come back to Oslo, I’m definitely going here again.

More of a restaurant than a pub, still ambient with quiet slow jazz music on background. Few taps of Nögne, Haandbryggeri, Aegir one Cantillon, one German Weizen and Titan IPA plus typical Rignes etc. Pilsners. Good selection of bottles. Very friendly and helpfull staff, food was so great. Best of all was that I could order 1 dl samples from tap which made my day.
