My friend and I desperately needed a warm place to eat and wait for our night train to Oslo and we…read morewere fortunate enough to stumble upon this bar just as they opened. The music was blaring and that usually turns me off but I felt a really good vibe coming from the woman we spoke with and we decided to plunk down all of our luggage and sit for awhile. They don't serve food but indicated we could order take out from the Chinese Food/Hot Dog Stand (yes, really) right next door so we did that. My friend enjoyed several interesting beers and Theresa was about to make a very strong White Russian for me. The atmosphere was awesome. It felt like a place where everyone knew each other and they were all hanging out and having a great time. One woman engaged us in conversation and recommended a strip bar down the street, haha. The owner (Theresa) was so nice. She even gave us free shots to celebrate our visit to Norway. I never go to bars but I could see this as a place that I'd be a regular at if I lived in the area. Definitely worth popping in for a drink or two!

A tiny bar next to the Skansen Hotel where we were staying. Seemed like one of those old, local…read morehangouts. It was so laid back that it was almost horizontal - how can you not like that? We just walked in, found a table, got our beers and hung out for a while. The decor, the size, the ambience - all contributed to a really good time. It's not a fancy place by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a really relaxing place. Good place for a quiet, chill evening with friends :)

No tourists, we were the only non-regulars, all locals this late afternoon. They have Sunday specials with beer, shot and hot dog specials. No indigestion from both of us. Good quick stop. They have pop corn and wifi in the evenings. Place to relax and conversate. Its a 3-d tinder spot.

Cute cafe along Fargegaten, The Street of Colors…read more When a local Stavanger hairdresser wanted to infuse a pop of color into this street who knew that he would create a tourist attraction? This cute cafe is so cozy and inviting. Love the colors, the books and the board games. Coffeeshop by day. Bar at night. A great place to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with family and friends.

Nice bar to play board games and have a beer or two! We visited Bøker og Børst on a Sunday night,…read moreand it was busy but there were tables available. The bar has plant-themed wallpaper and both fake and real plants scattered about the bar. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating available. They offer mostly premade cocktails, but they do have a few basic options available. They also have a fairly wide draft beer selection and a decent selection of board games to play. If you want to play games and drink beer in Stavanger, then I think Bøker og Børst is the place!

Its a smaller wooden dive bar with reasonable beer prices. During the day, there are outdoor seats as well. I would not have stopped by here, but the music enticed me.

Dickens is a drink-to-get-plowed bar on the Stavanger waterfront…read more They sell beers that go down easy and don't taste like much so you will have thirty eight of them. They have sports on TV. The food is all globalized food like pizza. * * * Why am I bothering to review it at all? Because globalized food in Norway is not the same as the globalized food you get at home. The nachos they serve here are a definite eyebrow raiser. These are neither Texas nachos nor Mexican nachos. They take flat circular tortilla chips out of the supermarket bag and layer them on a pizza board. They cover these with cheese so that the concoction melts into a pancake. There are chips ON TOP of the pancake, and jalapenos on top of that. The top chips char which is okay. Your nachos now have a top. The whole thing is served with a bowl of room temperature salsa out of the jar that you dump on top. Note that Norwegians make pancakes and they make very good pancakes. So turning nachos into a pancake is a natural for them. I prefer Tex-Mex nachos, but these were an interesting change of pace.
