Named after the iconic Pier 42 in New York, our cocktail bar is designed to blend the heritage of Amerikalinjen’s cocktail culture with an unparalleled drinks menu reflecting the modern-day explorer. Our current signature cocktails showcase art from the destinations connected to the Norwegian America Line – Norway and New York, in a liquid form. Pier 42 in Manhattan was the passengers’ first encounter with New York and the new life “over there”.
With several recognitions for Best Bartenders, Best Team, and Best Cocktail Program + many more, Pier 42 is considered a leading cocktail destination in Oslo & Norway.
Amerikalinjen offers several exciting food and beverage concepts, all deeply inspired by our rich history and location. All dining establishments have a targeted focus on the local market, and we have a strategic plan to be a market leader in their respective segments.
Pier 42 is in good company with our other outlets that together create what we believe is a house full of possibilities. Atlas Brasserie, a lively and playful brasserie, Haven, a green oasis in the hotel's backyard and Gustav, a New York-inspired jazz club and event space.
