Made for a Crowd
Julebord, birthdays, corporate dinners, weddings and everything in between. Barbecue is made for groups, and so are we. Sharing platters fill the table, everyone digs in, and our kitchen can feed a whole room at once.

Occasions
julebord, and everything else
Our meats are smoked for hours before anyone sits down, not cooked to order. Platters go down the middle of the table and everyone digs in, so the whole room can eat together instead of being served in waves. Numbers that would stall an ordinary kitchen are just another service here.
Julebord
The biggest night in the Norwegian work calendar, done Southern. Long tables, generous sharing platters and room for the whole department.
Corporate dinners
Client dinners, team dinners and staff nights out. Sharing platters keep things relaxed, social and a little less corporate.
Birthdays
Round numbers, or no particular reason at all. Bring the family, or bring the whole address book.
Weddings
Rehearsal dinners, receptions and celebrations without the formality. Generous food, big tables and plenty to share.
Big parties
Anniversaries, launches, reunions, celebrations. If it needs a room and a lot of food, it fits here.
Everything in between
Not sure it counts as an event? Ask anyway. If you’re bringing a group, we’re happy to figure out what works with you.
THE VENUE
MADE TO FIT THE OCCASION
Right by Akerselva in Grünerløkka, Way Down South can host everything from a table of nine to events of up to 250 guests. Choose the indoor restaurant, our tented pergola, the riverside outdoor area, or combine spaces to create something that fits your event. On selected off-days, the entire restaurant can also be booked exclusively.
With two bars, a mobile bar, sound equipment and the possibility of an outdoor stage, the space can adapt to everything from relaxed dinners and summer parties to launches, weddings and full-scale celebrations.
9 TO 250 GUESTS
From smaller group dinners to a full house, we can shape the space around the size of your event.
CHOOSE YOUR SPACE
Indoor dining, tented pergola, riverside outdoor seating, or a combination of all three. Exclusive hire may also be available on selected days.
MENUS & PACKAGES
Choose from event menus and packages built around our sharing platters, with options for desserts, drinks, wine and more.
KEEP IT SIMPLE, OR MAKE IT AN EVENT
Not every large table needs an event planner. If you are 9 guests or more, you can contact us for a straightforward group reservation with no additional event planning, and the standard 8% group service charge applies.
If you want something more tailored, choose one of our event menus or packages and our team will help you put it together. Event bookings include a dedicated event coordinator and carry a 12.5% service charge instead of the standard 8%.
