Fru Burums

About this place

Fru Burums is located at Skovveien 3 in the Frogner district of Oslo, in the area between Aker Brygge and Majorstuen. It is widely regarded as a local institution in this part of the city, and its interior is one of the more memorable in Oslo's pub scene. Visitors consistently describe the space as an eclectic, richly detailed environment — one reviewer called it neo-Victorian in character, with architectural odds and ends that reward a slow look around. It is the kind of place where you find yourself noticing something new every visit. The pub describes itself as a traditional English pub, and that identity runs through the experience: the atmosphere is unhurried, conversation is central, and the beer selection is good without being unnecessarily complicated. A half-litre runs to around 109 kroner, which is on the competitive end for Frogner. Outdoor seating is available during warmer months. Televisions inside cover sports when they are on. Opening hours are Monday to Wednesday 15:00 to 01:00, Thursday 15:00 to 02:00, Friday and Saturday 13:00 to 02:00, and Sunday through to midnight. That range makes it practical across most of the week, whether you are stopping in early or wrapping up late. Quiz nights are a regular fixture, held with 50 questions across two rounds, teams of up to five, no advance booking required and starting at 19:00. There is no food served at the pub, though coffee is available. The quiz nights tend to fill the space, so arriving early helps. Fru Burums holds an average rating of 4.2 out of 5 from close to 800 reviews across Google and Facebook. For anyone spending time around Aker Brygge or Frogner and looking for a proper traditional pub with real character and a loyal local crowd, this is one of the more dependable addresses in the area.
