‘Keepers of the Flame’ Lounge

As many fans learned last year, Oslo can be very cold in December! So if you need a place to warm up between seeing the sights, or somewhere to use as a meeting point with friends, come to the Ice Bar!

We have reserved the Ice Bar lounge for our exclusive use during the day on Saturday, and fans are welcome to come and go from 12:00pm – 6:00pm.

Details:

Saturday, December 3
12:00pm – 6:00pm
Ice Bar Oslo, Kristian IV’s gate 12, 0164 Oslo

Although the Ice Bar chain is known for their sub-zero bar, they also have a warm area where guests will be quite comfortable
