La Boheme

The Spis take

A big, sprawling bar-and-restaurant at Ullevålsveien 14 on St. Hanshaugen, known more for cheap drinks and a large events-friendly venue (basement shuffleboard, billiards and darts, space for up to 300) than for any single cuisine, with a mixed Indian/pizza/Norwegian menu. It's open late every night and works best as a casual group hangout or party space rather than a dinner destination. Fine for affordable pints and games with a crowd; manage expectations on the food.
