Brød & Sirkus is a creative and vibrant entertainment bar located at Tordenskiolds gate 3 in central Oslo, nestled between the City Hall and Parliament. Described as Oslo’s first “entertainment bar,” the venue combines the relaxed atmosphere of a bar with the dynamic energy of a live stage. Its layout includes multiple unique areas such as a leafy courtyard with its own performance stage, a balcony for people-watching, and a cosy upper lounge. These flexible spaces make it ideal for everything from casual drinks to high-energy group nights out.

Open most evenings, Brød & Sirkus features a packed schedule of themed events. Tuesdays bring nerdy quizzes on topics like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, while Wednesdays and Thursdays host general and guessing-style trivia. Fridays kick off with affordable after-work drinks and evolve into themed bingo nights followed by dancing. Saturdays spotlight their signature “Hits for Quiz” live music trivia experience—part concert, part pub quiz, and full-on party. Many events have free entry, though some live shows or special nights may require a ticket. The venue typically stays open until around 3:00 AM on weekends.

With a capacity of about 500 people, Brød & Sirkus is well-suited for both public events and private rentals, including corporate functions and birthday parties. The atmosphere is friendly, casual, and always buzzing with energy. Drinks are modestly priced, and smart-casual attire is recommended. Booking a table is a good idea for busier quiz or bingo nights, especially if coming with a group. Loved by locals and tourists alike, it offers something for everyone—whether you're looking to challenge your trivia skills, enjoy live music, or just unwind with friends in a lively and welcoming setting.
