Olympen is a spot that accommodates all occasions and all kinds of people. Spanning over three floors and outdoor terraces, the restaurant offers everything from lunch and dinner across casual drinks to a nightclub and parties in open or closed groups. Historically, the place has been referred to as a beer hall and restaurant.

The kitchen, at an intersection of French bistro and Norwegian home cooking, is well regarded. The place is also known for its wide beer and wine selection. Olympus is also sought after for its special events, such as Christmas dinner, and Oktoberfest which is held in the old beer hall.

Upstairs is an elegant cocktail bar with a modern cabaret. The venue, with unique Art Deco-style decor from the 1920s, is regularly the scene of concerts, stand up, beer tastings, dance shows, poetry slams, and more. The idea is to bring back that atmosphere from the roaring 20s.

Olympen fills the entire apartment building at Greenland Camp 15. The elegantly ornate building, which was built by Schous brewery in 1892, first housed a theater before restaurant operations were established in 1904.

Brygga sports bar in Ulsteinvik

In the heart of Ulsteinvik sits Brygga, one of the country’s best sports bars. With a large space, good food, and a pleasant atmosphere, Brygga has in a short time become a go-to joint for many of the region’s 40,000 inhabitants. The company has delivered strong results and offers a favorable combination of safe operating conditions and flexible development opportunities.

Brygga was established in 2018. The goal has been to offer an informal and tasteful meeting spot – a place where people can meet over a glass of coffee or beer, watch a football match, and play a game of darts or shuffleboard alongside a big or small snack. The place is set up so that those who are not interested in sporting events feel welcome, too.

The bar offer is rich, while the dishes are few, but tempting. The short menu ensures efficient kitchen operation with little waste, while at the same time offering tasty people-pleasers based on good ingredients and a real price level. In addition to tex-mex classics and burgers, the menu also has a maritime and local touch with dishes such as fish and chips and fried tenderloin. Both the menu and the restaurant are family-friendly.

The capacity is up to 300 indoors and 60 outdoors. On the weekends, there are regularly large queues. During the week, a number of sports-related events, taco and quiz nights, concerts, and so on, are also arranged, which often draw full houses as well.

With a location on the pier with a view of the sea and the quay area, the restaurant draws in both locals and tourists. It’s centrally located in Ulsteinvik center, with good parking and public transport options right next door. The large pier right outside is especially bustling in the summertime. The immediate vicinity of the Quality Ulstein Hotel also contributes to a steady stream of guests.
