Live music in Bergen - Concerts and nightlife at The Old Irish Pub

Something electric happens when night falls over Bergen, Norway’s city of rain, rhythms, and remarkable music. Nestled between mountains and fjords, Bergen lights up with energy every weekend.

And right in the heart of Bergen, near by the buzz of Bryggen, stands a venue like no other: The Old Irish Pub - Bergen’s flagship location, the biggest in Norway. If you’re into live bands, dancing, beverages, and vibrant crowds, this is where your weekend truly begins.

The Old Irish Pub - Bergen live every weekend

The Old Irish Pub couldn’t be in a better spot. We’re right next to the historic National Theatre (est. 1850), a landmark known for hosting some of Norway’s most famous cultural figures - like Henrik Ibsen, often called the Father of Modern Drama, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, who wrote the Norwegian national anthem and later won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the legendary violinist Ole Bull.

From our place on the hill at Engen, you also get a perfect view straight down to Festplassen, a central location in Bergen that’s impossible to miss.

Old Irish Bergen is not your average bar. It’s a three-floor powerhouse of party vibes, a venue that looks and feels like a nightclub, but with the charm and energy of a great Irish pub.

This flagship location is our biggest in Norway. With space for hundreds, a large stage, and a top-notch sound system, we bring that true Bergen live spirit every Friday and Saturday. And yes, we’re only open on weekends, because we believe in going all in when it matters.
