Møhlenpris

Bergen's hipster neighborhood with coffee roasteries, natural wine bars, and sustainable restaurants. Safe with a young professional vibe. Less English and more local than tourist areas. Light rail connects to city center.

Møhlenpris has transformed from an industrial area into Bergen's hipster neighborhood, centered around the old Bergen Kaffebrenneri roastery building. Young professionals and creative types have opened natural wine bars, nose-to-tail restaurants, and cafes that sell vintage furniture. Nobel Bopel works as a neighborhood café by day and natural wine bar at night, hosting pop-up dinners and small concerts. The Norwegian Business School (BI) brings students here, and the new Marineholmen development added modern apartments, research facilities, and a small beach. You'll see people working on laptops at BKB's outdoor patio, eating at Restaurant Marg & Bein for Nordic food, or crossing the Småpudden bridge to Godt Brød for pastries and pizza. More local than touristy - you might be the only non-Norwegian in some places, which means less English but a more local experience. People eat and work alone here often, so that's normal. Safe to walk around, though it gets quiet after 10pm when people go home. The Bybanen light rail goes straight to city center in a few minutes. Think Brooklyn or Shoreditch but with Norwegian modesty and better coffee.
