Fridtjof

The Spis take

Fridtjof is a two-storey pub right on Fridtjof Nansens plass by Radhusplassen in the city center, themed around the Norwegian polar-explorer hero with expedition photos on the walls. It's a relaxed, characterful place for a beer, with summer outdoor seating that puts you in the thick of downtown. Central location means it draws its share of tourists and after-work crowds; treat it as a comfortable central pint rather than a foodie stop.
