Torggata Botaniske

Torggata Botaniske is a botanical cocktail bar tucked into Oslo’s Grünerløkka / central area. Its interior is dominated by greenery: vines climb ceilings and walls, and the bar features its own greenhouse space to grow herbs and botanicals used in the cocktails. Walking in feels like entering a hidden greenhouse lounge. The decor is relatively understated — the greenery is the star. The menu changes seasonally, leaning into fresh, botanical ingredients: herbs, flowers, unusual spices, and house-grown botanicals. Cocktails are described by patrons as “floral,” “whimsical,” or “garden meets glass” — classics get reworked with herbal or botanical twists. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy. It’s not a large bar, so it can feel packed on busier nights. Several reviewers caution that during weekend evenings it’s better to go early. The bar does not take table reservations — seating is strictly first-come, first-served. Torggata Botaniske often gets praise for creative cocktails, strong botanical identity, and immersive ambiance. Some reviews note that their more outlandish drinks are worth trying, though prices are on the higher side for Oslo.
