Rockefeller Music Hall
5B BadstugataThe best concert scene in Oslo (in my opinion).
This is maybe the best area to go out for a drink, some food and to watch the night life. It is also a vibrant place during daytime, with different happenings and events all the time. Many good restaurants like "The Nighthawk diner" (burgers), "Villa Paradiso" (Italian pizza), "Delicatessen" (Tapas) etc. The Sunday market at Blå or at "Birkelunden" is worth a look if you like second hand things.
