This is Norway's most famous pub thanks to the fact that one of Norway's most popular weekly TV talk shows, Du skal høre mye, whose name roughly translates as "You've Heard a Lot," was broadcast from here until 2003. At its height of popularity, the show attracted a million viewers every Wednesday night. Despite the fact that the hotel that contains the pub was built in 1965, the thick timbers and rough-textured planking evokes a fisherman's cottage (rorbu) from the late 19th century. A hard-drinking crowd from their 20s to their 50s is attracted here nightly. There's live music in the pub every Wednesday to Sunday beginning around 8:30pm.
