The Show
More than a bar show.
A community without borders.
OSLO BAR SHOW is a meeting place for the Nordic bar community and a gateway between the Nordics and the international bar scene.
Our Vision
Rooted in the Nordics. Connected to the world.
Our ambition is to create a platform where bartenders, bar owners, industry professionals, brands and creative minds come together to exchange ideas, share knowledge, inspire one another and build meaningful relationships that last far beyond the event itself.
We believe that the future of our industry is shaped by the people we meet, the experiences we share and the connections we create.
At the same time, OSLO BAR SHOW invites the international bar community to discover what makes the Nordic bar scene unique. From Norwegian hospitality and local ingredients to Scandinavian creativity, craftsmanship and innovation, we want to showcase the people, places and ideas shaping our region.
But inspiration travels both ways.
By welcoming some of the world's most exciting bartenders, bars, brands and industry personalities, we bring new perspectives, global trends, traditions and flavours to the Nordics.
Through exhibitions, masterclasses, guest shifts, tastings, conversations and unforgettable shared experiences, we create opportunities for cultures to meet, ideas to grow and lasting friendships to begin.
Our purpose is simple: to bring people together, strengthen the Nordic bar community and create connections that shape the future of our industry.
Four Pillars
What we stand for.
Community & Connections
Building a stronger Nordic industry community through personal meetings, friendships, collaboration and long-term relationships.
Knowledge & Inspiration
Exchanging knowledge, techniques, experiences and ideas across countries, cultures and generations.
Nordic Culture Meets the World
Showcasing the best of Norwegian and Nordic bar culture, while international guests bring new flavours, perspectives and experiences.
Building the Future Together
Creating new opportunities for collaboration, career development, partnerships and growth that continue long after the show is over.
We don't just bring the bar industry together. We bring it closer.
