PARKTEATRET BAR & SCENE Parkteatret Scene is an old cinema from 1907 now functioning mainly as a concert venue with a capacity of 400. Their main focus is pop/rock, but the venue is also great for indie, bluegrass, country, rockabilly, jazz and blues. The old foyer of the cinema now hosts Parkteatret Bar, which is popular for its wide selection of quality drinks, good coffee, good music and nice food. The bar has a great outdoor seating area, perfect for sunny days with a nice cold drink. Parkteatret is situated in Grünerløkka, an area that has become revigorated since the 1990’s and is now one of the most vibrant parts of the city.
