There are several pubs and clubs in Haugesund. However like the rest of Norway these places only come alive on a weekend and late at night, in many cases after 22-00, most have pretty good live music and cater for all ages, the big drawback is the crippling price of alcohol, $11 dollars for Guinness, $10 for local lagers, and up to $20 for spirit and mixer.The staff are usually very friendly and all speak good English, in fact many staff speak 2-3 languages.
