About Øst
Established in 2016, Øst (meaning "East" in Norwegian) brings craft beer culture to Storhaug, the eastern district of Stavanger. What began as a neighbourhood watering hole has developed an almost cult-like following of beer aficionados seeking out rare Norwegian pours.
The bar itself exudes casual retro charm with exposed brick walls, repurposed wood accents and mismatched vintage furnishings. But make no mistake, the main draw lies in the 12 specialty brews on tap, which the knowledgeable bartenders eagerly expound on if prompted.

- 12 craft beers on tap, focused on Norwegian microbreweries
- 70+ bottled/canned Norwegian and international beers

Service That's Hip Yet Helpful
The bartenders match the vibe - laidback and sociable with a dash of hipster flair. Their true talent lies in translating beer geek-speak into descriptions newcomers understand and recommendations fellow aficionados appreciate.
Greeting regulars by name, welcoming first-timers warmly and fielding beer questions adeptly comes naturally. So too does supporting the surrounding community, through involvement in local arts and culture happenings.
Industrial-Chic Atmosphere
The cozy interior rocks a modern industrial look, from the exposed brick walls to the string lights dangling from pipes along the ceiling. Retro Scandinavian furnishings, beer crate shelves and works by local artists add pops of colour and personality.
Out back, the outdoor area hints at Øst's harbourside locale with wooden deck seating, based on old shipping pallets, overlooking the water. It's a choice spot for kicking back with a rare brew as the summer sun sets.
