Par-Tee Pub

Par-Tee Pub is one of the mainstays of Oslo's gay bar scene — an unpretentious, neighbourhood-style pub in the Sentrum that has built a loyal regular following over years of consistent, welcoming operation. The bar is located on Kristian IVs gate, close to London Pub and within the small cluster of gay venues that makes up the core of Oslo's gay nightlife. Par-Tee's character is deliberately low-key: no dress code, no attitude, and a pricing level that is competitive by the extreme standards of Oslo's bar scene. The crowd is predominantly local — Norwegian gay men and women who prefer the relaxed pub atmosphere over the more energetic club venues — with a visiting contingent who have found their way there from London Pub or Pride events. Par-Tee Pub is the bar you go to when you want a drink and a conversation rather than a club experience, and its longevity in Oslo's scene reflects the specific demand for exactly that kind of venue in a city whose gay nightlife can otherwise be intense.
