University of Oslo
The original campus and buildings of the university, completed around 1850. The buildings houses only the Faculty of Law; the rest of the university is situated at Blindern. There are occasional concerts in the magnificent Universitetets Aula, housing 11 of Edvard Munch's pictures covering more than 200 m² of wall. The room is only occasionally open to public, but is one of the most magnificent rooms in all of Norway. Along with a number of other key buildings around Karl Johan, these old university buildings were erected in what was then the young capital of Norway. These downtown buildings are surrounded by a pleasant park - the University garden. The Faculty of Law also used to serve as the venue for the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize from 1947 to 1989.

Last Train
Sandwiched between a theatre and Hard Rock Cafe this gem is easily overlooked. One of the best (and longest lasting) rock/punk/metal/indie pubs in Norway.
DrinkSentrum
Hard Rock Cafe
Dealing mainly with, as the name suggests, rock nostalgia from the 1950s, this should be familiar. Pricey.
