Editor's Pick

A grand former post office in Sentrum whose soaring bar room — marble columns, vaulted ceilings, the architecture of civic importance — has become one of central Oslo's most striking places to drink. The cocktails match the room's grandeur: a proper Martini, champagne, classics done with spirit-forward seriousness. Thursday and Friday after work is when it fills with suited Oslo and the space is worth seeing busy; a quiet Sunday afternoon shows it from the other side. Dress up slightly, expect prices to match the setting, and take a moment for the postal-era architecture before the first drink.
