The Wild Rover stenger dørene
– Takk for alt, skriver «Norges største irske bar».
The Irish pub The Wild Rover in Karl Johans gate, Oslo, has closed its doors. In a heartfelt Facebook post, the establishment announced that as of Monday afternoon, the doors have been shut. The post did not specify the reason behind the closure. However, the venue expressed gratitude towards the guests who had visited and supported the place through the years.
"Thank you to all who have visited us, supported us and created so many wonderful memories over the years. We are incredibly grateful for every one of you," the message read.
The Wild Rover opened in 2021 and was hailed by Avisa Oslo as "Norway's largest Irish bar" at the time. E24 visited the bar when it was mentioned alongside the football World Cup in the summer, expecting the atmosphere to only improve over the next 20 years. Financially, the bar anticipated a significant increase, likely due to the heightened interest in football matches and the festive mood.
Staff reported a double workforce compared to the previous year, and the bar had generated over 30 million kroner in revenue for both 2024 and 2025. Despite this, the bar also incurred losses exceeding four million kroner in each of those years due to operational costs.
