EVENT SPACES · STAVANGER & SANDNES
Event spaces
at the dock
Two spaces built for gatherings, and one we open for something bigger. Dinners for sixty, Christmas parties, launches and company celebrations — with the room set, the bar stocked and someone else running the evening.
Seats 60 · Bryggerikaien 18, Stavanger
Right on the water in Stavanger East, with the fjord and the mountains filling the windows. Close to everything, and yours alone once the working day ends.
The room takes sixty at round tables, and it changes character depending on what you need. A long table for a dinner. Chairs turned towards the screen for a talk, then cleared for the party afterwards. We've had streamed courses in here, board dinners, fiftieth birthdays and New Year parties.
A 95" screen, video conferencing and a PA with handheld and lapel mics, so a speech reaches the back of the room.
The Living Room
Stavanger
Ten Forward
Seats 40 · Apache, Rådhusgata 6, Sandnes
In Havneparken, by the water in the middle of Sandnes. Four-metre ceilings and a room that's properly furnished — it holds a dinner without looking like a meeting room that's been cleared.
Forty around the tables. It works as a dinner room, and it works as a room with a programme — two 75" screens and a PA mean you can run a presentation and then eat in the same space without moving anyone.
Apache around it has pinball machines and a roof terrace, which tends to take care of the part of the evening nobody planned (drinks stay in Ten Forward, but nothing else has to).
Sandnes
Mörtel
Seats 100 · Karen Grude Kohts plass 1, Sandnes
The whole ground floor runs six metres to the ceiling, with an atrium staircase people actually sit on, sofas, seating groups and a mezzanine above. It holds well over a hundred. By day it is the canteen and café, the common area and the main entrance — so events here happen after hours.
We open it for gatherings we help shape rather than simply host: a programme of talks, mingling, food standing up.
Two 95" screens, handheld and lapel mics, a proper sound system, 12 meeting/breakout rooms.
If that sounds like what you're planning, start a conversation rather than a booking.

Good to know
-
We run the bar ourselves. Beer, wine and soft drinks — no spirits, and you can't bring your own. Serving stops at 01:30. The selection differs a little between the spaces, so we'll confirm what's on it when you book, and the same terms apply wherever you are.
-
Between 07:00 and 02:00. We stop serving alcohol at 01:30. Outdoors it goes quiet from 23:00 on weekdays and midnight at weekends, and we keep the volume inside at a level that doesn't reach the flats above.
-
In writing at least ten days ahead. You can reduce by up to 20% until seven days before. After that we charge 50% for the difference, and no reductions in the last 48 hours.
-
More than four weeks ahead, no charge. Four weeks to seven days, 50% of the room. Under seven days, the full room plus 50% of the food. Under 48 hours, the full amount.

Frænd run the kitchen at Mörtel and make our members' lunch every day. They're a social enterprise from Stavanger, offering work and language training to people with a multicultural background who need somewhere safe to start. We share the taste of inclusion is how they put it themselves. Their cooking draws on kitchens from all over the world, which suits some evenings better than others.
Tell us what kind of evening it is and we'll point you at the right one.
