Carl Johan

The northernmost end of Nordre gate is the hub of Trondheim nightlife, with mainstream discos, sausage kiosks and lots of drunk, well-dressed people. Carl Johan is a straightforward pub with more relaxed ambience than most offerings in the area.

Bar Circus
Small, quite popular pub/venue and almost always very full - but that's not just because of the music or location, but because of the beer price which is cheap in Norwegian terms (kr 55 for 0.4L.)

To Rom og Kjøkken
Two rooms and a kitchen
The name is inspired by a tale about a tram driver on Gråkallbanen. The restaurant opened in 2005 and features a three to five-course menu starting at kr 545 and an à la carte menu with both fish and meat. Between opening at 16:00 and 18:00, they serve "Today's Bar special" for kr 169. The selection of dishes depends on the actual season and local production since they try to use as much local production as possible. The wine selection is extensive with a big variety. They also focus on local hand-brewed beer from Norway but also include international hand-brewed beers. On the weekends they arrange cooking classes.
