From the venue’s website.
Steeped in nearly a century of capital heritage, Justisen on Møllergata is one of Oslo’s most iconic and storied nightlife labyrinths. First established in 1928 as a classic tavern for legal professionals from the nearby courthouse, Justisen has evolved into an extraordinary multi-room entertainment complex that seamlessly bridges historic old-world charm with contemporary nocturnal hedonism.
The sprawling compound encompasses six distinctly styled bars and intimate salons, an expansive heated inner courtyard garden with a glass roof, and an energetic basement nightclub. From plush retro cocktail lounges to high-energy dancefloors, visitors can weave through winding corridors and hidden staircases to discover different musical atmospheres under one roof.
On weekends, Justisen's courtyard and basement dancefloors erupt with energy as top resident selectors spin commercial house, dance classics, R&B, and upbeat pop until 03:00. Revered for its celebratory vibe, exceptional cocktail craftsmanship, and diverse cosmopolitan crowd, Justisen is a quintessential Oslo nightlife rite of passage.

Visitor ratings make up 10% of the NOX score, alongside 45% for editorial judgement. We adjust ratings toward the site average while there are only a few reviews. How we rank.
Editorial judgement based on reviewed venue and scene evidence. A score does not imply a first-hand visit.
City context: the venue’s programming, community contribution and distinctiveness within its own city. Worth 9%; until assessed, the existing city-wide scene score is used as a baseline. This venue currently uses the city baseline, not an individual assessment.
Recency of observed Instagram activity. This is a signal, not proof of current operation.
Visitor ratings, adjusted toward the site average while reviews are limited. Applied once a venue reaches the minimum review count.
Venue capacity, scaled so that larger venues don’t dominate the overall score.
How long the venue has been open.
How often visitors save a venue. This has a small influence on the score.
The editorial score reflects our review of venue and local scene information. It doesn’t mean we’ve visited in person. Venues can’t pay for a higher score.
