Sir Winston

The Spis take

A long-standing English-style public house on Karl Johan by the cathedral, open since 1969 and best known as one of Oslo's classic piano bars. Weekends bring live pianists, sing-alongs and dancing, and there's heated outdoor seating for watching the main-street parade with a drink in hand. It's more about atmosphere and a wide drinks selection than the food, an old-school institution that draws a mixed after-work and tourist crowd. Come for the piano nights and the well-worn pub charm.
