Located on Grønlandsleiret, you will find Norway's largest indoor boule venue. Grønland Boulebar takes inspiration from French parks, gathering gravel courts, arcade games, and dining under one roof. With five indoor courts year round and two outdoor courts in the backyard during summer, it serves as a versatile spot regardless of the season. The kitchen focuses on classic French fare, with rotisserie chicken and various sharing plates taking center stage. The vibe is relaxed and casual, making it easy for anyone to join in on a game. Renting a court costs around 250 NOK per hour, with one court comfortably fitting up to six people. No prior experience is required, though you can hire an umpire if you want to add a bit of structure to your match. It is a great fit for afterwork drinks with colleagues, birthday gatherings, low key dates, or simply a casual night out with friends.
