From the venue’s website.
Established in 1990 with the rebellious ethos of 'alcohol use and cultural misuse', Cementen has anchored Stavanger's waterfront cultural underground for more than three decades. Situated on Strandkaien with panoramic harbour views, it transitions seamlessly from relaxed afternoon beers into an intimate, high-octane venue hosting touring indie bands, cutting-edge electronic DJ nights, and eclectic weekend dance sessions.
Editorial score 86 based on storied 30+ year harbourfront alternative rock and electronic heritage, intimate stage, panoramic water views, and authentic cultural counterweight.
Welcoming, historic harbourfront pub and scene.
