Edgar

A café with charm

Opening hours

Characterized by a cozy atmosphere, Edgar, the café at Studentersamfundet, is also known as Samfundet’s living room. The space is named after Edgar B. Schieldrop, Samfundet’s first leader. We play LP records with calm and exciting music. Challenge your friends to a board game from our extensive collection and enjoy one of Samfundet's coziest spots!

At Edgar, you can choose from a variety of coffee types provided by Kjeldsberg, or simply enjoy a delicious cup of black coffee. Treat yourself to a piece of the infamous (and vegan) Edgarkake, or share an espresso milkshake (though you might want to keep it all to yourself)! If you're feeling hungrier, we offer light meals like nachos and pizza. A new menu is on the way, so stay tuned! The kitchen closes at 9 p.m.

Events:
Every Tuesday at 19:00 you can flex your brain power during the Tuesday trivia quiz. If you participate with the same quiz team every week, you can take part in the semester-long overall competition. But show up early - the quizzes in Edgar are popular and fill up quickly!

Fridays at 20:00, our friends from Klubbstyret have a music quiz with exciting new categories to test your musical knowledge, a difficult cover-art quiz, and a delicious medley to challenge even the biggest music fans.

And last but not least, Edgar's own Bingobanden has the honor of inviting you to Thursday bingo several times each term! This is a rollercoaster of game of chance, excitement and lots of fun. There are prizes, the possibility of something good in the glass, and a great atmosphere.

Stay tuned to samfundet.no for ongoing information about the concerts and bingo.
