The lanes of the historic Bryggen wharf and the streets behind it are home to atmospheric bars and pubs set in the old wooden Hanseatic buildings, where visitors can enjoy craft beer and cocktails amid centuries of history. From cosy cellar bars to lively pubs, the area comes alive in the evening. Drinking in these characterful venues by the harbour is one of the most memorable ways to experience Bergens nightlife in its most historic quarter.
