Latest reviews from Sandnes
| 40 /100 Helgø Meny Bogafjell (Grocery Store) BOGAFJELLVEIEN 65 “This grocery store is located in a part of Sandnes I seldom travel through. And, there is not any particular reason to visit either. Rather standard Meny grocery store selection. As Sigmund writes; half decent selection. I bought a bottle low ABV Norwegian apple cider; Ciderhuset Vestr Cider. A decent cider also available in other Meny grocery stores neaby. (Visited April 6th 2024)“ |
| 46 /100 Drøøs (Bar) LANGGATA 48 “Located in the walking street in Sandnes. The 6 taps was all Ringnes standard except one from E.C. Dahls. Counted about 15 different bottles of Rygr, and other. They had a good selection of Cider on bottles too. Nice place, but not a place I will go to frequent. Visited 02.03.2024 with Bryne.“ |
| 40 /100 Helgø Meny Maxi (Grocery Store) GRAVARSVEIEN 7 “I have visited this grocery store many times through the years. I guess I have forgot to rate this place. Pretty standard Meny beer selection. Nothing special going on here, but decent selection from Bygland. One hour free parking and Vinmonopolet bottle shop adjacent. (Visited January 13th 2024)“ |
| 66 /100 STOKKAVEIEN 42 “The latest cidery to open in Rogaland in 2023. Apple juice produced in 2022 and their first apple ciders came for sale December 9th 2023. Stokka Gaard is a small farm just across the highway from "Kvadrat" shopping mall. The owner, Tommy Skjæveland, has spent a whole lot of money to transform this small farm to what it is today. Stokka Gaard now produces apple juice, ciders and even have a bakery. The shop at the farm is normally open Saturday and Sunday. Sundays only for fresh pastries and apple juice. Very friendly service. Little information about their three apple ciders. I was told that information about their products will appear on the website in near future. I also hope for more information on the labels too.

| 52 /100 Drøøs (Bar) LANGGATA 48 “Another new bar in the main street Langgata in Sandnes. Not really my type of bar. Very popular and crowded early a Saturday evening. All taps from Ringnes but at least one rotating tap from E.C.Dahls. So what makes this modern bar worth visiting for a beer geek? Behind the bar counter almost "all" cans from Rygr are on display. Not bad! (Visited March 11th 2022 with my wife)“ |
| 60 /100 Plagiat Bar (Bar) LANGGATA 23 “A new bar in the main street Langgata in Sandnes. Patio in front in the pedestrian street. Rather dark interior and an elogated room. Varied seating. 5 taps and about 25 bottles and cans. I had a can can from Scottish Overtone Brewing Co. Friendly and attentive service. Not really a must visit craft beer bar but nevertheless one of top three in Sandnes. (Visited March 11th 2022 with my wife)“ |
| 60 /100 Ti Spiseri & Bar (Restaurant) LANGGATA 10 “A fine restaurant with decent selection from Lervig. Do not bother visiting just for the beer selection. We came here for a late lunch to enjoy their Atlantic cod. Amazing dish! And with a fresh, hoppy beer from Lervig from tap this was a pleasant visit. Very efficient and friendly service too. (Visited March 11th with my wife)“ |
| 48 /100 Helgø Meny Bogafjell (Grocery Store) BOGAFJELLVEIEN 65 “Big grocery store / supermarket, the biggest in this part of Sandnes. The beer selection is much the same as in other Helgø Meny stores, which means half decent. Around 8 new ticks for me today, mostly from Nøisom, Klokk, 7 Fjell and Ægir.“ |
| 82 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Kvadrat (Beer Store) GAMLE STOKKAVEI 1 “Whola! Looks quite normal on the outside….but inside…
Make sure you credit card is valid……
Excellent selection. Far better than any in Stavanger. Strange location actually.
But Kvardat is a huge shopping mall. So probably that is the reason. Let your wife have a splendid time elsewhere while you have a great time in this store
Det Gode Brygg is also next door. You get all you need from 4,7% and below there
The only drawback….you have to go here by car!

| 64 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Sentrum (Maxi Senter) (Beer Store) GRAVARSVEIEN 7 “5 min walk from the train station in Sandnes.
Quite decent beer slection“ |
| 78 /100 Melkebaren (Bar) INDUSTRIGATEN 1 “In the very centre of Sandnes, 20m from the hart of Sandnes partying street. The storefront doesnt look welcoming (at least- it doesn't present the craft face of the spot). British interior far cry from the modern trends. 30 taps, 10 of which mainstream, remaining 20 craft, Norwegian mostly. Plus some bottles in the fridge. 78.“ |
| 60 /100 Ti Spiseri & Bar (Restaurant) LANGGATA 10 “Restaurant located in the old " Fokus bygget" in the pedestrian street Langgata. 2 minutes walk from bus and trains. 3 taps from Lervig,pilsner and 2 rotating beers, I had Liquid Sex Robot in splendid form. Good bottle selection, with lots of Lervig. Food was excellent, nice dark lit interior, with hipster friendly bulbs, good service“ |
| 60 /100 Melkebaren (Bar) INDUSTRIGATEN 1 “Melkebaren is the best (and only) reason for a Ratebeerian to spend more than half an hour in this nondescript and truly boring town. 31 taps with a wide variety of styles and breweries. Grotty interiør but friendly service, and if they're not too busy you can have a flight (as I did) of 5x10 cl at a very reasonable price.“ |
| 94 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Kvadrat (Beer Store) GAMLE STOKKAVEI 1 “Best Polet I've ever been to and probably the best beer store in general that I've visited. Rows of fridges and shelves, tones on beers, mind-blowing selection (730 beers at hat moment). Styles that should be fresh- fridge (that's the first Polet I see it).Helpful staff. Best store in Rogaland probably, I don't understand why it's not in Stavanger.“ |
| 78 /100 Melkebaren (Bar) INDUSTRIGATEN 1 “What with all the TV screens, the almost shabby chic interior, and the close proximity to the train station, this place could easily be mistaken for just another one of those brown pubs, filled by local, quite drunk, rather filthy usual suspects. It might be, but it’s also one of the better beer places around. More than 30 different beers on tap, as well as a solid bottle selection. Very service minded staff with good knowledge, as well as acceptable pricing. Definitely a place to visit when in the area.“ |
| 42 /100 Megleren Øl & Vinstue (Bar) INDUSTRIGATA 2 “Well, it’s not a craft beer bar, that’s for sure. The bar downstairs is quite nice with several separate seating areas. Tasty food is served every day, and prices are reasonable. That’s why we visited this early Saturday evening. I had a "Megleren Spesial" for 99 kroner, just what I needed before a serious beer crawl. Upstairs is more like a music scene where you can enjoy cover songs of varying quality.
A bottled "Brooklyn Sorachi Ace" was the most interesting beer I could find. Enjoy the food and cross the street to Melkebaren for more craft beer. (Visited December 17th 2016 with friends and my wife)“ |
| 32 /100 Megleren Øl & Vinstue (Bar) INDUSTRIGATA 2 “Oh no.....do not even think of it..... Ok it is Central and easy to find. But the beer selection is lousy! Go across the street to Melkebaren“ |
| 72 /100 Melkebaren (Bar) INDUSTRIGATEN 1 “Nice beer selection! And that is what we want aint it. Sentral location, and easy to find. 5 min walk from the Train station.“ |
| 44 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Sentrum (Maxi Senter) (Beer Store) GRAVARSVEIEN 7 “Et vinmonopol det ikke er verdt å besøke, men det er mye pga at pol kvadrat sandnes er ganske nærme .“ |
| 50 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Sentrum (Maxi Senter) (Beer Store) GRAVARSVEIEN 7 “Surprisingly uninteresting beer selection but then it’s not far from the Kvadrat store, with one of the best selections in Norway. There’s actually not much use going to this one, but they have some good beers on the shelves anyway.“ |
| 62 /100 Melkebaren (Bar) INDUSTRIGATEN 1 “not a bad place when i comes to beers, but the rest of the place is alittle less ok“ |
| 38 /100 Helgø Meny Sandved (Grocery Store) ASHEIMVEIEN 2 “One of the best groceries stores in Sandnes, beer selection wise. 7 Fjell, Haandbryggeriet, Nøgne Ø and Lervig selection is very good, some Brewdog and the other foreign suspects as well.“ |
| 78 /100 Melkebaren (Bar) INDUSTRIGATEN 1 “My favouite and most used pub.I like the widescreen selection of beer on tap.😃
Dissapointed that they don’t have Kilkenny anymore 😢“ |
| 66 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Kvadrat (Beer Store) GAMLE STOKKAVEI 1 “This store looks more or less just like every other Vinmonopolet store of a certain size, but the selection is the best by far in this area. They got at least one of the staff that is knowledgeable about the beers as well, which is a good thing. Not all VP stores have any beer knowledge.“ |
| 74 /100 Melkebaren (Bar) INDUSTRIGATEN 1 “Not coziest of places in regards of interior, but the staff and beer list is very nice indeed. Lots of good beers on tap, some not so interesting too, and a solid bottle list to chose from if you go tired of draft beers. Definitely a place I’ll return to. They don’t have a kitchen but the neighbour next door can deliver food here if you’re getting hungry.“ |
| 72 /100 Melkebaren (Bar) INDUSTRIGATEN 1 “A rather small and cool pub close to the pedestrian area in Sandnes. A black board behind the bar lists 31 taps, both micro and some macros, different in styles and strengths. Five beers, each 100ml, make up the sample tray. Lots of interesting craft beers on bottles as well. Large outdoor seating that should be nice in sunny weather. Polite service. Very quiet early on a Friday afternoon. Indifferent music, Spotify choices, I guess. Many thanks to Gunnar for taking me to Sandnes, showing me around, and pointing the way – a truly dedicated ratebeerian! (Visited 19.06.2015).“ |
| 82 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Kvadrat (Beer Store) GAMLE STOKKAVEI 1 “Et av de største polene i Norge med lokale tilpasninger og litt ekstra.“ |
| 36 /100 Helgø Meny Maxi (Grocery Store) GRAVARSVEIEN 7 “Used to be the grocery store with the widest selection in Sandnes centre. Lervig, 7 Fjell, Lindesnes, Haandbryggeriet, Ægir and Nøgne Ø is well represented as well as the standard British beers imported to Norway.“ |
| 56 /100 Helgø Meny Maxi (Grocery Store) GRAVARSVEIEN 7 “One of the better supermarkets for beer in Sandnes, not remarkable though. *Beer selection has increased lately, good selection esp. of Norwegian beers.“ |
| 36 /100 Megleren Øl & Vinstue (Bar) INDUSTRIGATA 2 “Beer line up from Carlsberg,says it all really. Guinness and Kilkenny on tap,some Brooklyn in bottles, thats it. Tasty but reasonable priced food.Better cross the street for beer!“ |
| 50 /100 Megleren Øl & Vinstue (Bar) INDUSTRIGATA 2 “Not a great place for craft beer. The mood is always cheerful though.“ |
| 82 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Kvadrat (Beer Store) GAMLE STOKKAVEI 1 “Almost 300 beers on selection. One of the best places to buy beer in Norway.“ |
| 88 /100 Melkebaren (Bar) INDUSTRIGATEN 1 “Best pub in Sandnes. Not too crowded. 31 taps. Friendly staff.“ |
| 78 /100 Melkebaren (Bar) INDUSTRIGATEN 1 “Improved a lot since 2011, more than decent selection, both on tap and bottles.
Best place for beer in Sandnes, superb service as well, pizza next door can be enjoyed as well if youre hungry.“ |
| 80 /100 Melkebaren (Bar) INDUSTRIGATEN 1 “A very good selection of bottled beers, and a growing selection of taps. Staff is interested in beer and can help you find your favorite.“ |
| 74 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Kvadrat (Beer Store) GAMLE STOKKAVEI 1 “Polets basisutvalg med lokale tilpassninger samt endel overraskelser innimellom.“ |
| 38 /100 Helgø Meny Sandved (Grocery Store) ASHEIMVEIEN 2 “Over normalt utvalg av øl.“ |
| 38 /100 Helgø Meny Maxi (Grocery Store) GRAVARSVEIEN 7 “Supermarket med noe ekstra i ølhylla.“ |
| 46 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Sentrum (Maxi Senter) (Beer Store) GRAVARSVEIEN 7 “Polets basisutvalg pluss noen overraskelser innimellom.“ |
| 86 /100 Melkebaren (Bar) INDUSTRIGATEN 1 “Alltid noe ferskt på tapp. Grei lokale med mye godt øl på flaske og tapp. Hyggelig t betjening med gode råd om øl.“ |
| 64 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Kvadrat (Beer Store) GAMLE STOKKAVEI 1 “18.11.2013. Large Vinmonopol store in Sandnes. Very good selection of both Norwegian and foreign beers. At the time they have a lot of different Norwegian Christmas brews, So I managed to get my self some new beers. Busy place, good selection and always helpful staff. But - its very expensive, Puh!!!“ |
| 88 /100 Melkebaren (Bar) INDUSTRIGATEN 1 “A Place With soul, not the nicest decoration, but a Nice Place to be. The service is good, good knowlege of beer.Value is good, but we are still in norway. A Place that i like to go to. Got more draftlines since last time and the selection on draft is really good!“ |
| 58 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Sentrum (Maxi Senter) (Beer Store) GRAVARSVEIEN 7 “A Vinmonopolet store with a fairly decent selection, and the management seem to take beer seriously.“ |
| 82 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Kvadrat (Beer Store) GAMLE STOKKAVEI 1 “Rerate: This Vinmonopolet store has now achieved a "specialist" status, and accordingly the selection is MUCH better than before. I’m upping my rating several points. Original rating: Half-decent Vinmonopolet store, but the one in the city centre of Sandnes is better! The management here seems not particularly interested in beer. They are always willing to do special orders for you, though.“ |
| 60 /100 Helgø Meny Sandved (Grocery Store) ASHEIMVEIEN 2 “Probably the best Meny grocery store in the area. Extensive beer selection! English ales, Norwegian craft beer and lots of Christmas beers now in November. Of course, all below 4,8%. After visiting Vinmonopolet at the shopping centre Kvadrat, I found it convenient to drop by on my way home. (Visited November 9th 2013)“ |
| 90 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Kvadrat (Beer Store) GAMLE STOKKAVEI 1 “Nice selection sorted by country. Almost every friday new delivery of new beers. Good service and posibilities for specialorders. Best shop in rogaland district
(Update) Now sorte after style and selection is mutch better. Upgraded frm 86“ |
| 50 /100 Helgø Meny Sandved (Grocery Store) ASHEIMVEIEN 2 “Grei matbutikk med relativt godt utvalg av øl. mye Bedre utvalg enn samtlige barer i Rogaland med unntak av 4.“ |
| 28 /100 Helgø Meny Maxi (Grocery Store) GRAVARSVEIEN 7 “Grei matbutikk med et greit utvalg av øl utover standard øl.“ |
| 32 /100 Megleren Øl & Vinstue (Bar) INDUSTRIGATA 2 “En helt greit spisested på dagen og Pub om kvelden. God mat. Dårlig utvalg av øll, stort sett standard øl, Derfor mat og en øl til maten og andre steder for å finne godt øl.“ |
| 20 /100 Vinmonopolet Sandnes - Sentrum (Maxi Senter) (Beer Store) GRAVARSVEIEN 7 “Greit lite utvalg av øl, men de deler øllet inn i kun to typer overgjæret og undergjæret. Ikke noe som forteller om det er porter, ipa, eller annet untatt der man kan lese direkte av flaskene, samme med distrikt. Dette er elendig av vinmonopolet. PS! de har greit å fortelle om det er vinkork eller vanlig kork på flaskene... :-)“ |
