About

Elsker Bar in Oslo is the heart of the city’s LGBTQ+ scene, and it's a place where everyone is welcome to celebrate love in all its forms. Opened in 2006, this multi-level venue combines laid-back vibes with high-energy club nights, making it the perfect spot for anything from casual drinks to dancing until the early hours. Located on Kristian IV's gate, it’s easy to find and even easier to fall in love with.

The bar serves up a great range of drinks, and if you're feeling peckish, their menu offers delicious comfort food to keep you going throughout the night. Elsker really comes to life on weekends, with three floors playing different styles of music, so there’s something for everyone—from pop hits to house beats. Whether you're a local or just visiting Oslo, you’ll find the crowd diverse and inclusive, with a strong focus on creating a welcoming atmosphere for all genders and sexualities.

It’s not just about the partying though—Elsker hosts everything from drag shows to comedy nights, so there’s always something fun happening. If you’re in Oslo, missing out on Elsker would be a crime! Make sure to check their event schedule before you go.

Last night, December 28th, at 11:30 PM, after entering this nearly empty venue with the approval of the staff at the door, we were escorted out by security after just 10 minutes, without any apparent reason, using the excuse of a private event. The Instagram invitation made no mention of a guest list. Our clothing and behavior were absolutely appropriate.It was embarrassing and offensive—something we had never experienced before. For a gay venue, they are anything but inclusive, with very poor English.

***Beware*** there is a man, with goaty and suit and sun glasses and a tattoo of symbol of Islam (The star and crescent moon) on back of his right hand (between his thumb and index finger) who was grouping woman. As a Muslim woman myself, I was disgusted and told him to not stand so close to my blond femme friend and he shoved me and pushed me really hard off the steps…. I was actually scared he would punch me or maybe even worst if he had anything sharp on him. But he is friends with all the staff there. He is so drunk that he hugged the security from behind and he didn’t say anything, which I was surprised… I went and told same security, black skinny shorter guy, and he said, oh him, he is okay… I was shocked… My friend also went and told a woman security. Later I told the guy who was guarding the smoking area door, next to the DJ stage, that the guy is very drunk and not safe for woman, and he also said he is fine… my friend again went and spoke to the same guy. He was just roaming and no one did anything….Seriously applaud how security didn’t care, especially after the shooting that killed 2 gay men just in Pride 2022…We went out Saturday April 20th in case the management cares enough and wants to address this. I was too scared to take a pic of him, but have a pic of the security guard so happy to share if contact me directly.

Super fun LGBTQ+ club in central Oslo. Multiple floors with different dj’s playing different kinds of music. Also spots to sit down. Security in every room. There’s a cover fee.

The security guards are a big issue in this place, putting their hands on you and basically escalating the situation, because let’s admit who likes to get assaulted.Disappointed to see something like this in Oslo. The club is ok but the guards are definitely ruining the place.

Tried to check in my coat, I first got told they were full. So I waited until a couple of people collected their jackets as they were leaving, as I thought surely then they’d have space. Asked the person working to cloakroom if I could now check it in, and I got told they were now short staffed… and immediately after that their IT system would not allow any more jackets to be left there. Which is it?? Just felt like they could not bother to be helpful. Otherwise we had a good time, but it was not a great first impression - and had to carry my coat along with me the whole night.

Nice club, we paid 15€ entry per person and the second and third floor were open on a Saturday night. The music was kind of repetitive though and the drinks are super expensive (but I guess that‘s normal for Oslo). Would go there again!

I love that Fridays are free admission. Everyone was so happy so the mood was great. I think everyone who shows up there simply wants to dance. The DJ on...
