Sportsbar Majorstuen - Visit Old Irish Pub

If you’re searching for a bar that show sports in the heart of Oslo, right where the energy hits hardest, Old Irish is the place to be.

This area has grown into a great lively nightlife place, and here you’ll find a pub that brings everything together: great vibes, big screens, beverage, live music and a buzzing crowd. That is the atmosphere you want when the match get intense.

And yes it’s all happening at the legendary Old Irish Pub. The spot where you get live music, late-night DJs, and some of the best places to watch sport in the neighbourhood. It's perfect if you want to watch football, enjoying a beverage after work, or dancing your way through the night.

The sportsbar at Majorstuen you don’t want to miss

Located right in the middle of Majorstuen, only seconds from the subway, this place is built for good times. As one of Oslos go-to sports bars, it offers a mix of enjoy and energy you can feel the moment you walk in.

Downstairs you enter through a terrace that sets a relaxed tone before you step into the pub’s ground floor. On the left side you meet the bar staffed by bartenders, and at the back you’ll find a stage with live musicians every day.

If you're here for football, you won’t be disappointed. We mostly show football, but sometimes also hockey and tennis on the massive screens with a perfect view. The biggest matches are shown on large screens on both floors, so no matter where you sit, you’re part of the action.

Upstairs: Bigger room, bigger stage, bigger party

Walk up the stairs and you enter a huge first-floor room that feels like stepping into a different world. With two bars, more screens, and a large stage, the vibe shifts from a chill sports bar to full-on nightclub once the DJ kicks off.

The atmosphere up here is something else, a buzzing crowd mixing sports energy and weekend excitement. Live bands play every Friday and Saturday, and if you’re lucky, you’ll hit one of the themed nights like St. Patrick’s Day or Boxing Day.

And let’s not forget the entertainment extras, the music bingo every Thursday, a boxing machine and a light booth for a bit of fun in between matches. Whether you come for a talk with friends, the big Premier League or la liga matches, or to enjoy a night out in Norway, this place has everything under one roof.

Why it stands out among sports bars in Oslo

What truly sets this place apart is the "atmosfære". It hits that rare balance between lively and laid-back, between sporty and social. You can chat with friends, cheer for the Premier League match you’ve been waiting for, or simply lean back and take in the crowd.

It’s the kind of place where the atsmosphere lifts with every cheer, where strangers become friends over a shared passion, and where the next big night is always right around the corner.

If you’re exploring sportsbar options at Majorstuen, this one deserves to be at the top of the list. Good people, great music, the biggest games on the screens in the neighbourhood, and the kind of atmosphere you remember long after the night ends.
