Bergen nightlife at its best - The Old Irish Nightclub

When the sun sets over Bergen and the historic rooftops begin to glow under the city lights, the weekend truly begins. If you're looking for the ultimate club in Bergen, there’s one name that stands out,The Old Irish Pub, located right in the centrum.

This isn’t just any club or bar. It’s Norway’s biggest Old Irish, designed like a club, pulsing with energy, big discoball, music, and student life. Whether you're craving good beverage, live DJs, or a massive floor that keeps the party going, this is where nightlife in Bergen hits its peak.

So if you're asking, “Where’s the best club near me in Bergen?” your answer is right in the middle of the city, easy to reach and impossible to forget.

A nightclub in the city centre like no other

Old Irish in Bergen is far more than a regular bar. It’s the flagship venue, a unique hub that turns into a vibrant, student-filled "nattklubb" every Friday and Saturday night.

Spread across three floors, the building brings a club look to the traditional Irish pub concept. At Old Irish, every floor has its own story. Step through the doors and you’re welcomed by a bar setting and chill area, the ideal place to grab a beverage and ease into the night.

Just a few steps further and the atmosphere shifts: a big room with a booming dancefloor, dazzling lights, and music that sets the tempo for the evening. Head up to the top level, and you’ll find a balcony that looks straight over the action, the same wild energy, just with the best view in the house.

DJ, dancing, and weekend vibes

When it comes to nightlife in Bergen, Old Irish stands out as one of the most popular spots in the city. With a big stage front and center, the main floor transforms into a full-blown floor every Friday and Saturday.

From the moment the DJ hits the decks, the room shifts gears. Expect party anthems, club classics, and the kind of beats that make it impossible not to move. Both nights live bands take over the stage, bringing high-energy performances that bridge the gap between bar and concert venue.

Love to party, sing along, or just move with the crowd? This is one of the must-visit bars and clubs.

The vibe is inclusive and the crowd diverse-mostly students and young locals-but always open to travelers and first-timers.

Lively atmosphere

At Old Irish, everything is built for the perfect night out. The bartenders are fast, they service friendly and the beverage is affordable.

Unlike some bars in Bergen that close early or run on quieter energy, this club thrives on movement and momentum. There’s no downtime here-just upbeat conversations, laughter, and a steady rhythm that keeps you going from doors open to last call.

The chill area gives you space to relax, talk, or regroup with friends between dance sets. From pre-party meetups to the last dance of the night, it’s a seamless experience.

A central location in Bergen’s compact city centre

One of the best things about Old Irish is its central location. Positioned right in the beating heart of Bergen, it’s within walking distance from almost anywhere downtown, making it an easy stop for a spontaneous night out or a planned celebration.

Bergen is a compact city, and the central address makes it a go-to for locals, tourists, and international students alike. It’s also just minutes away from other bars and clubs, so it’s the perfect starting point-or ending spot-for your Bergen night adventure.

A crowd that knows how to party

What makes this club in Bergen truly special is the crowd it draws. Thanks to reputation of the city as a university town, the weekends fill up with students ready to let loose after a long week. The atmosphere is young, energetic, and always buzzing.

While the focus on Fridays and Saturdays is the party, the venue also turns up the energy with live bands every nights. These performances take the atmosphere to a whole new level with guitars, vocals, and beats filling the room as the crowd sings along, dances, and raises their glasses together. It’s not just background music, it’s a show you feel in your bones.

So whether you're starting your night here or heading straight for the dance floor, you'll be surrounded by the elite.

More Than a Bar - A True Icon of Bergen Nightlife

Bergen has several night clubs, dance clubs, and bars, but very few offer the full experience like Old Irish does. From the moment you step in, you're part of something bigger - a scene, a vibe, a tradition. There’s no need for a wine bar, a rooftop view, or even outdoor seating. The energy is all inside.

Stay for the people, the music and the feeling, now you’ve found something rare in the heart of the city. Whether you’re a tourist here for one night, a regular who never misses a party, or a group planning the next birthday bash, Old Irish welcomes you.
