Sjoelbak, board games and pub quiz

Ever since 1962, the pub has served as meeting hub in Trondheim. The Kieglekroa was opened when former Prime Minister Per Borten threw the first ball on the bowling alley - once found in the basement. Since then, the bowling alley has been replaced with the game of sjoelbak (Dutch shuffleboard), which fires the competitive instinct. Besides sjoelbak, you can take part in pub quizzes, play board games and take part in various events. Drop by and enjoy this lovely and active pub!
