Tromso, Norway: Raketten

This establishment has a great location for business - just down the street from City Hall and the public library. Even better, real estate taxes have to be quite low.

Welcome to the self-proclaimed smallest bar in the universe. There's no way of checking this - take it from a guy who has been to a number of the world's smallest churches and post offices. But you have to like its chances.

While the word "bar" gets attention, the food probably is the main attraction. Reviewers seem to like the reindeer hot dogs, with a different taste and a fair price. It does have alcohol for sale, but Norway supposedly doesn't allow public advertising for alcoholic beverages. Therefore, there's no sign mentioning that fact. Often there are lines in front of the place - probably at lunch time - but considering it's a one-person operation, things move along pretty quickly. 

I wish I could give a first-person report on the food. Sadly, it wasn't open when we were there in mid-June at midnight.
