Oslo’s best-kept Whisky secret

Established in 2005, Dr. Jekyll’s is a Whisky specialist bar, and boasts one of the city’s finest whisky selections with over 600 different bottles behind the bar. The pub also offers a unique touch not found in similar establishments.

As the name suggests, Dr. Jekyll’s draws inspiration from the world’s first and most famous psychological thriller, “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” Set in late 1800s England, Dr. Jekyll is a highly respected doctor experimenting to separate the good and evil aspects of his personality.

Paintings of Dr. Jekyll adorn the walls and ceilings, perfectly eerie and uniquely captivating. The logo takes a gothic cue, setting a distinct thematic tone that begins even before stepping inside.

Spanning two floors and accommodating up to 250 guests, Dr. Jekyll’s signature is undoubtedly Whisky, housing an array of hundreds of Whisky bottles and rare drops. Dr. Jekyll’s boasts an exclusively curated Whisky series, comprised of expressions from nine different distilleries, aptly named “Dr. Jekyll’s Expressions Of…”
