Drink
Tromso Jernbanestasjon
Tromsø Railway Station
This bar established itself early as the cool place because of its complete railway thematic décor - especially since there is no train that comes to Tromsø. There are waiters in conductor uniforms and departures to places like Murmansk and Kautokeino are announced regularly through the speaker system.
Eat
Blå Rock
The best burgers in town with their infamous fried potato skins. Don't ask for a Diet Coke with it, it makes little difference.

Gründer By Night
In the Scandic Grand Hotel. Caters for the more mature audience, and combines style and informality. Their heated smoking terrace with a view might tempt you to pick up the habit.
