Beer Palace

A genuine beer destination in a touristy spot — Aker Brygge's waterfront — with a 40-plus tap list, a serious whisky collection, and a history going back to the 1990s. Order from the taps, explore the whisky, and pair it with waterfront snacks. Come on a summer afternoon for the terrace and prime Aker Brygge people-watching. The location commands Aker Brygge prices, but the selection is the real thing rather than a tourist trap's afterthought. It is proof that a waterfront spot in the most visited part of Oslo can still take its beer and whisky seriously — worth a stop for the breadth of the list alone.
