Sport 33 sits on Thorvald Meyers gate in the middle of Grünerløkka, Oslo's design and nightlife district, and it is a sports bar with no pretensions about being anything else. Flatscreens cover every corner, the taps run lagers and IPAs, and the kitchen sends out fish and chips and onion rings to a crowd that came for the match.

Sport 33 runs at Thorvald Meyers gate 33 D in Grünerløkka, the main spine of bars and shops north of the river. Restaurant Guru lists it with more than 100 reviews and a steady four-star rating, and Yelp shows it open through June 2026 as a pub. The Facebook page trades as Sport 33 and posts the week's fixtures. The hook is simple. This is a proper match-day room in a neighbourhood better known for cocktails and coffee.
The room
The room is laid out as a pub built for watching sport, spacious by Oslo standards, with screens angled so no seat misses the game. Tripadvisor reviewers describe it as a comfortable, cosy space decorated as a proper pub, with flatscreens at every corner so a table never loses the action. The crowd is a mix of locals and visitors, and the volume climbs with the score. On big fixtures the main screens draw a standing crowd, so an early table is the move.
What to order
Order from the tap list, which reviewers note covers IPA, lager and darker bayer styles at standard Grünerløkka prices. The kitchen keeps it to pub staples, with fish and chips, onion rings and fries the plates named most in reviews. Oslo is an expensive city for a pint, so the value here is the screens and the seat rather than the bill. The plan is a pint of something cold, a basket of fries, and a fixture worth shouting at.
What regulars say
Reviewers on Restaurant Guru and Tripadvisor consistently call Sport 33 a good sports bar in the heart of the city's hipster district, praising the attentive staff, the comfortable room and the wall-to-wall screens. The point that comes up most is coverage. Regulars say the bar shows the major leagues and that the layout means every seat has a view, which is the whole job of a sports pub. A few reviews flag occasional service friction at peak times and a house expectation that watchers keep ordering, a fair note for a busy match-day room. The detail that recurs is the contrast. Grünerløkka is a cocktail and craft district, and Sport 33 fills the gap for anyone who just wants a pint and a game without leaving the neighbourhood, which is why locals point visitors here on a fixture night.
Who it is for and best time
This is for match days, a casual pint, and anyone working through Oslo sports bars. It opens mid-afternoon on weekdays and midday at weekends, so an early kick-off or a late-night fixture both work. Skip it if you want a quiet cocktail; the room is built around the screens. For the wider city, see the full Oslo bar guide.
The verdict
Sport 33 earns its place as the Grünerløkka room to watch the game, a no-nonsense sports pub in a district full of cocktail counters. Grab an early table, order a pint and the fries, and pick your screen. For more Oslo match-day options, compare Bohemen Sportspub, the central Champ Sportsbar, and Kickoff Sportsbar.
