📝 About this place

Meyers is located at Thorvald Meyers gate 25, at the quieter northern end of Grünerløkka near Birkelunden park, with the tram line running directly outside. It is a small bar with 46 seats, and it occupies a particular niche in Oslo's bar scene: low-key and neighbourhood in character, but with enough polish and intention to feel like something slightly more considered than the average local pub. The interior has a concrete backstory worth knowing. Meyers was designed in the spirit of the Norwegian TV series Dag, a deadpan comedy about a couples' therapist named Dag Refsnes who lives alone and believes everyone else should do the same. The result is a retro aesthetic with props from the show worked into the decor, including a taxidermied badger and a fighting fish in a small aquarium on the bar counter. It is not a theme bar in the strict sense — it is more that the bar shares the show's sensibility: a little detached, a little wry, but genuinely warm once you settle in. The drinks follow a similar logic. Classic cocktails are reworked to feel fresh rather than predictable. The Bloody Mary in particular has developed a strong local reputation and is consistently cited in reviews as one of the better versions available in Grünerløkka. Prices range from around 100 to 200 kroner per drink. The music is curated and present without being intrusive. The bar opens at 15:00 every day and closes between 01:00 and 03:00 depending on the night. With only 46 seats, it can fill up on weekends, so arriving on the earlier side is a sensible approach. The tram stops nearby, making it easy to reach from other parts of the city. Meyers holds a Google rating of 4.5 out of 5 based on over 300 reviews. For anyone looking for a bar in Oslo that offers good cocktails, a distinctive atmosphere, and a story behind its walls, this is a worthwhile address.
