There are numerous bars up along the main street. You can drink beer and enjoy one of Norways numerous copies of an Irish pub at The Dubliner, the cultural alibi Kafe K or the calmness of Café Osebro, where you can dine down by the river in a cosy garden - everything is cosy in Porsgrunn - as the local saying goes. Porsgrunn is a traditional tall ship and trading community, and you can still meet some former seamen at Sailors pub. If you want to catch up with the local alternative community, try out the brown pub Karjolen loacated on the ground floor of Folkets hus, the building of the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions.
