Oslo's most acclaimed coffee roastery runs an evening bar program that applies the same obsessive sourcing principles to spirits as it does to single-origin beans. The espresso martini is genuinely revelatory, built on a shot from a competition-winning Ethiopia natural that makes the typical bar version look like an afterthought. The space seats 20, opens at 6pm, and fills by 7pm. No walk-ins after 8.
The room is Coffee / Cocktails's answer to Oslo's broader hidden gem scene. The bartenders take their craft seriously without making a show of it, and the menu rewards repeat visits rather than first-timers chasing the obvious order. The 20 seats programme is the right place to start.
Best time to visit is mid-week between 6pm and 9pm when the bar settles into its rhythm. Weekends fill up and the room takes on a different energy. Reservations are recommended for groups, and on Friday and Saturday for couples.
Supreme Roastworks Bar sits in Coffee / Cocktails, one of Oslo's most distinctive drinking neighbourhoods. The crowd skews toward thirty-something locals on weekdays and a slightly younger international mix on weekends. The lighting is low. Conversation works at the bar; the booths handle small groups.
Dress code is smart-casual. The bar is most rewarding for an unhurried 90-minute visit between 7pm and 9pm — early enough to talk to the bartender, late enough that the room has filled in. Tags worth knowing about: 20 seats, Espresso cocktails, Intimate.
Supreme Roastworks Bar accepts walk-ins mid-week before 8pm. After that, expect a wait — reserve in advance through their Instagram or by phone. The bar takes cards. Tipping follows local convention in Oslo. Most regulars order two drinks at the bar, then move to a table when one opens up.
