John's Bar is located in a small basement in down town Oslo, the Norwegian
capital (Universitetsgaten by the main street Karl Johansgate). Oslo is also
called the Tiger City. This is the place where all the real Tigers join. They
are a special sort predators, but don't worry they don't eat you. Or at least;
don't worry, they only eat you once! By reading this article you will understand
why Oslo is called the Tiger City.

Here you will meet the toughest and friendliest people in Oslo. Everybody
here makes a toast, sing, shout and dance together. It is easy to get in contact
with people if you have the right spirit. Anyway, you don't have much choice
because the place is so full packed with dancing and singing people.
Before 24 O'clock the Tigers slide down the stairs and throw themselves in to
the wild crowd. They jump around like wild Kangaroos, dancing the night away.
First bar round start with an Tequila, so the rounds get faster and faster, and
there is no turning back.
Thirsty people have to use sharp elbows and break they way through to the
bar. After they`ve been served by happy, fast working, jolly good barkeepers, it
is a big challenge to keep the drink without spelling. Sometimes it is almost
possible to move. It is so dense and intense! It is like herring in a barrel.

People in various ages have their good time in John's Bar. The music is
exceptional loud, but incredible good. It is mostly pop and rock, which drives
the people totally crazy! It is definitely not the place for a sensible
conversation!
In a room behind the main stage (floor) you can cool down little bit and take
a good breath. It is also here where all the hot stuff is going on. Some
visitors fell in love very quick, and would like to do more out of it.

In John's Bar you can meet the famous pretty blonde Norwegian girls. They
would like to take control and swing you around like a doll. Still some adult
girls like to play with dolls. But don't be frightened; just show your
masculinity and be the boss! Or you are out
Be aware of that the girls there
like to be challenged.

The gentleman took her by his hand, and so they rocked - hardly rocked around
chairs, tables, poles and what ever they came over.
"Obladi oblada life goes on bra!
Lala how the lifes goes on!" -
Especially
on John`s Bar.

hands.... |

Recently I dragged a couple up from the floor. They danced so wildly that
they lost their balance and felt on the floor. They rolled around, and had big
problems with rising up again. But with my "strong" arms I helped them on feet.
So they continue to twist and shout.
During your visit in John's Bar you will be coloured brown, black and with
other colours by the bear and other drinks. An another important thing you have
to remember too: save your last efforts for climbing up the exit stairs -
ZIGZAG.
Are you a real Tiger? And are you ready for this? I hope to meet you
there one time!

Additional information
Oslo - the Viking Party Capital:
Oslo is the capital of Norway.
The city is also called the Tiger city (as you can
understand) and is situated at the head of the Oslo Fjord surrounded by
beautiful parks and forested ridges.
The Vikings were strong, wild and fearless warriors who were always looking
for new challenges. They still do, but their behaviour has been adjusted - just
little bit - since their forefathers started their raids for 1000 years ago.
Oslo has obvious the hottest party life in the world. The "Viking
party lions" (or even better "Viking party
Tigers") know how to party. The freedom to do what you want to do
is strong in the country, and everybody have a good time, especially in the
weekends. Most Norwegians are working hard in the midweek, so they don't have
much time for having fun. But when the weekends come, they turn to be wild
HUNGRY tigers.
Oslo has a wide variety of discothèques, pubs, bars, restaurants and bistros.
Most are located within such a limited area that they are within walking
distance of each other. In addition, each quarter of the city has an unusual
atmosphere all worth visiting.
Referred from the Official website for Oslo (Oslo Promotion), many
globetrotters consider the harbour area, Aker Brygge, as the most attractive
place in all of Northern Europe for persons who want to have fun, experience
something unusual and eat well. Be ready for the live music and sing along. The
sun will shine, and so will you!
In the centre of Oslo near the main street, Karl Johan Street, you will find
a wide variety of discotheques, nightclubs, bars, jazz clubs and cafés. Also
many other places in Oslo there are great places for having fun together with
the crazy and nice Norwegians.
In the summer several small and big parties are arranged on the Oslo Fjord`s
40 islands. Sometimes it looks like and sounds like an animal ZOO, but one thing
is definitely sure; the Norwegian Viking spirit is
unique!
