Oslo Gears Up for a Lively Weekend with New Openings and Events

Oslo residents are gearing up for an action-packed weekend, with a diverse array of events and new culinary destinations set to launch. The confluence of public holidays in May provides ample opportunity for locals and visitors alike to explore the city's vibrant offerings.

Among the new openings is Juniper, a cafe aiming to capture the 'basic' aesthetic with its menu of smoothies, matcha, coffee, and Mendels pastries. For those seeking a more traditional pub experience, The Toucan Public House has opened its doors, offering classic pub fare, quizzes, and live sports, taking over the space formerly occupied by restaurant Abelone.

The weekend also features the return of the beloved "Tom Waits" pub crawl, now in its 27th year. This unique event challenges participants to visit 20 bars over a 12-hour period, offering a festive and adventurous way to experience Oslo's nightlife. Additionally, Oslo Sandwich Shop is continuing its pop-up series, offering popular sandwiches at Fyrhuset Kuba, ensuring there's something for every taste and preference throughout the long weekend.
