Håndverkerstuene

No Longer In Business

A nice place, with good food, a very good selection of nordic beers and very good service!

The downside with this place is the high prices. Yes, I know this is Oslo, but I have visit several places in Oslo and this one is the most expensive so far. Very good food, ok tap list, interesteing bottle list with some rarities. Nice and friendly service too,

Nice ambiance, large space, lots of wood, smallish bar. Nice classical decoration. Good taplist, Scandinavian heavy. Decent service. Prices in line. Good bottle selection.

Traditional and nice. More these pubs!

Norwegian beers and many bottles to choose. Good food. A little crowed but a very good choice.

My first visit and won’t be my last. The food was really good but not a real big selection. I also had no issues with the selections of beers. My friend and I were lucky enough to have dinner on the same night they were having a yearly beer competition between local brewers. Had some great conversation with the local brewers and tasked some of their fantastic beers. I would not pass up the chance to visit this great restaurant. And you have to try their deserts!

Brown, stylish and a focus on Norwegian craft beer and pub food. Was probably the best place in Oslo som years ago, but the competition has been fierce. Håndverkerstuene now lacks a decent tap and bottle list to set them apart, but their food and beer pairings is wort a visit.

Pretty good selction of Norwegian beers and good food. Probably not a place to go if you just want to rate lots of beers, but if you want to enjoy a good meal in a nice cosy restaurant and drink good beer and get good service, then it’s an excellent place.

Quite busy when we went so only stayed for one drink, selection seemed good, staff were helpful.

New review: The place has become a bit of a regular for me, mainly since this was the first really good beer spot in Oslo back in 2010. Since then things have slowly boiled down a little, and is no longer as exciting as it was. From sporting a wide selection from a lot of exciting breweries around the world on tap, they now focus on Nordic brews - which of course is a good thing, but half of these seems to be the likes of Ægir IPA, Nøgne Ø Blonde etc. which you will find in any decent pub these days (which of course also is a good thing). The problem is, however, that you’re less likely to find something really exciting here - compared to places like Schous, Cafe Sara, Jekyl & Hyde, even Amundsens or Whiskey Bar. The rotation seems to be too very infrequent, I’ve come back after a few months and found pretty much the same selection as last time. The bottle menu is pretty good though. It is no longer the best place for really exciting beer in Oslo in my opinion, but still worth a visit. The food is still very good. ... Old review from around 2010: Nice and good looking restaurant/pub. I haven’t had their food yet, but I hear it’s excellent. The selection of beer is very impressive, six norwegian micros on tap. The prices are pretty high, which is impossible to avoid in this country. But I’d say it’s well worth spending half your wage/student loan on beer of very high quality. The service was outstanding.
