The Wild Rover

The Spis take

A big, boisterous Irish pub right on Karl Johans gate with hundreds of seats, dozens of screens, live music and a sprawling drink list — it's built for match days, stag nights and tourists who want a loud, familiar time rather than a quiet pint. The fish and chips actually gets genuine praise and staff can be warm, but it gets rammed and service quality swings a lot depending on the crowd. Come for the atmosphere and the sport, not for a refined meal.
