About us
This group is for people in Oslo who want to meet new people in an easy, fun way.
You can find our socials here: https://linktr.ee/martiniskovli
We usually host small, structured social events where it’s simple to start conversations and get to know others, even if you are completely new to the city and such events, this is very low barrier to entry!
This is also a good way of expanding your social network.
Most events are:
- Small groups (so it doesn’t feel overwhelming)
- Guided to make interaction natural
- Focused on actually connecting, not just showing up
joining alone is completely normal.

Friday Pub Crawl Oslo: Meet lovely people
Youngstorget 3 inne på Kulturhuset., Youngstorget 3, Oslo, NOWe’re doing a pub crawl in central Oslo every Friday.
I’ll be hosting: a few bar stops, short walks between them, and easy, engaging conversations where we try to include everybody and create a good atmosphere.
I’m very excited about this event, and I want to make sure it becomes a good experience for all of you.
Feedback, suggestions, ideas, or concerns are genuinely welcome.
The plan is something simple and social:- 3 bars in central Oslo
- 1st: YNG Bar and Social (Youngstorget 3, 0181 Oslo, Norway)
- 2nd: Tilt (Badstugata 6, 0183 Oslo, Norway)
- 3rd: Torggata Botaniske (Torggata 17B, 0183 Oslo, Norway)
- 4th: an optional club, if people want to keep going
- around 40–50 minutes at each place
- short walks between locations
- easy, low-pressure conversations
That said, the route is flexible.
If the group wants to stop somewhere else, stay longer at one place, skip a place, or adjust the plan as we go, we can do that.
The point is not to mechanically complete a route, but to have a good social evening together.
If we don’t make it to every bar, that’s completely fine, we adapt.
I’m also trying to get some small perks or benefits at some of the bars for future Fridays.
We’ll see what I’m able to arrange.
You don’t need to drink alcohol, and we enjoy your company regardless.
Who’s welcome:
Everybody of age: Locals, newcomers, internationals, and anyone who wants to meet people in Oslo in a relaxed and engaging social setting.We’ll likely speak a mix of English and Norwegian.
Age:
IMPORTANT: You need to be 20+ to enter the bars we plan to use, because of bar entry rules.When:
Every Friday.
We meet at YNG Bar and Social at 20:00 (8 PM).Plan for roughly 20:00–23:00, with room to stay longer for those who want.
You can arrive a bit late. I’ll post updates in the WhatsApp group when we leave each bar so you can catch up.
Where:
We meet at YNG Bar and Social.
The address is: Youngstorget 3, 0181 Oslo, Norway.WhatsApp updates:
It is very smart to join the WhatsApp group before attending.
That is where I can post useful updates during the evening, for example:- when we leave one bar and go to the next
- if we change the route
- if we split up temporarily
- if we decide to stay longer somewhere
- if someone is trying to find us

Bodyweight workout in Oslo
Location not specified yetDetails
We’re meeting for a relaxed outdoor workout at a calisthenics park in Oslo.
I want to keep it simple: show up in clothes you can move in, we use the bars together, and you go at your own level.
There is no rigid program or pressure. I’ll suggest a light warm-up and some exercises we can do side by side. If you want tips on form, I’m happy to help — but I am not a certified personal trainer, so think of this as a friendly group session, not coaching.
I’ll bring some water to share. Please bring your own bottle as well — you can fill it at home before you come.
Who’s welcome:
Anyone curious about calisthenics or bodyweight training who wants to exercise with others.
We’ll speak English and/or Norwegian depending on who’s there.
Both are completely fine.
IMPORTANT: Outdoor training is at your own risk. Listen to your body; skip anything that doesn’t feel right. If you’re unsure about injuries or health limits, check with a professional first.
If the weather is truly bad (heavy rain / unsafe conditions), I may cancel or postpone — I’ll post in the event comments as early as I can.
When:
Every Saturday, 13:00–14:30.
You can arrive a little late or leave earlier if you need to — if you can, try to join near the start so we warm up together.
Where:
Outdoor gym in a public green space, 0273 Oslo — use the map pin on this event for the exact location.
The spot has orange calisthenics equipment (bars for pull-ups, dips, and similar) right next to a wooden skate ramp.Here is the link on google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/AbuPW1NDRGZPRTWx9
How to find us:
Meet at the orange workout bars beside the wooden skate ramp. There is a small wooden cabin-style building and a lamp post nearby.
What to bring:
Comfortable clothes and shoes you can train in. A water bottle (see above).
Optional: thin gloves if the bars feel rough.Cost:
Free to join.
RSVP:
Please keep your RSVP up to date so I know roughly who to expect.
If you have any questions, just comment on this event and I’ll reply :D

Social swimming in Oslo
Location not specified yetWe’re doing a Saturday hangout in Oslo with swimming and/or sauna as a small group.
When we have decided location and plan, you can just meet up, say hi, we go in together, and you can enjoy the place at your own level along with the group.
This is not a class, and please take care of yourself, hydrate, take breaks, and step out if you need to.
Swim within your own ability. If you bring children, they are fully your responsibility.
Who’s welcome:
Anyone who wants a relaxed Saturday activity in Oslo and likes the idea of swimming, sauna, or just doing something social that involves water haha.We’ll likely speak a mix of English and Norwegian.
When:
Saturday, exact time to be confirmed, likely very roughly around 4 to 7 pm.
I’ll choose the time based on the venue’s opening hours and post a clear meeting time once the location is confirmed.
We’ll usually meet around 10–15 minutes before going in, so people have time to find the group.
Where:
Location is still being confirmed.
I’m choosing between a few Oslo options, such as a public swimming hall or another swim/sauna venue if that fits the day better.
Once the place is locked in, I’ll update this Meetup description and post a pinned comment with:
- exact venue name
- map link
- where we meet before going in
- official link for opening hours, prices, and venue rules
- what to bring, such as towel, lock, swimwear, or anything else the venue requires
If the venue has access control, I’ll try to choose a meeting point that people can find before going through it.
Please check the event again shortly before Saturday, because Meetup does not always notify people when the description changes.
Age and atmosphere:
This depends on the venue.
Some places are normal family swim halls, while other sauna places may have different age rules or booking rules.
I’ll follow whatever the venue publishes and write it clearly once the location is confirmed.What to bring:
This will depend a bit on the venue, but likely:
- swimwear
- towel
- water bottle
- lock if the venue uses lockers
- card or payment method for entry
- anything else listed on the venue’s official page
Please check the final venue link before coming so you know the latest rules.
Cost:
There is no ticket price from me for this event.
You pay the venue’s normal entry price yourself.If we choose a bookable sauna, you may need to book your own slot instead. I’ll explain clearly which model applies when the venue is confirmed.
RSVP:
Please keep your RSVP accurate so I can plan a reasonable group size and avoid overcrowding the meeting point.
