Oslo Mekaniske Verksted – A home away from home

Oslo Mekaniske Verksted is located on Teaterplassen on Grønland. There used to be a welding workroom before, now it is transformed into a bar. It is for sure a nice bar! Outside you find tables and benches, inside you are met with a mix of a bar and a home. If you drop on to one of the couches with a cup of coffee and friends, or with a good book and a glass of red wine – you may feel like you’re at home. It`s a mix of different flea market furniture - from small tables, chairs, armchairs and couches attended by funny lamps.

Every time I come in here I get this cozy feeling, and during winter the open fire place contribute to an even more cozy feeling. There are books you can read and different kind of table games to play. In the bar you can get soft drinks, coffee, wine and beer. If you’re hungry you can order food from one of the restaurants around. Just ask for take-away menus in the bar – or try Oscar’s or Le Meo sushi.  

The music is not too loud, and this is not a loud place where people go to party (except Fridays and Saturdays when people may pop in from pre-parties at home for a beer before they continue to night clubs). This is the perfect place for a quiet night in town and also the perfect way to enjoy your favorite take-away food in a home away from home.
