Altona Vinbar

Frommer's Review

This is one of the oldest, most deeply entrenched, and best- known bars in Bergen. Some of the stone walls and the wooden ceiling are original, dating from the 1600s. Boasting an association with the site that housed literary lion Ludvig Holberg during his years in Bergen and lying in the basement of the Augustin Hotel, its walls are painted white and the bar is decorated with modern sculptures. Patrons, ranging from 30 to 60 years old, come here to listen to the recorded classical music and to enjoy the elegant drinks, including champagne, cognac, and the best Scotch whiskey. It's open Monday to Thursday 6pm to 1:30am and Friday and Saturday 6pm to 2:30am.
