Gråbein Bar Oslo
Neighbourhood hangout
You know when you've watched Friends on TV and you always wished you would also have a cool cozy hangout place like they did? While biking around, Gråbein instantly caught my eye - it looked so homely and personal, and you'd notice right away that all the guests are locals.
It quickly became a standard spot for me and my friends to jump in for an afternoon coffee or evening beer. Its easygoing, relaxed and unpretentious vibe is for sure a reason why so many love this spot. A chill cafe during the day, it transforms into a lively bar by the evening, with concerts, DJs, quiz nights and other cultural events.
If you don't want to sip your drink on an empty stomach, try their fantastic burrata, dipped in olive oil and served with tomatoes, fresh basil and bread. There is also daily homemade soup, cakes and other small delicious bites, - perfect for an easy lunch or dinner. So take your friend, lover, dog or mum around the corner, sit down and melt into the hood.
