*ISM

The Spis take

One of Oslo's serious cocktail bars, from bartender Chris Grøtvedt (formerly of The Thief), where the name signals the whole idea — menus rotate around themes like seasonal*ism and minimal*ism so the drinks list keeps changing. Upstairs is the main bar; downstairs hides a speakeasy you reach through a photobooth after dropping in a token. It's a genuine destination for well-made cocktails and funky wines, and it regularly lands on 'best in Oslo' lists — go for the craft, not for a cheap round.
