Enerhaugen Cafe is a pub at Grønlandsleiret 39 in the Grønland area of Oslo. It is a modest neighbourhood bar rather than a designed landmark, but its location and appearance make it a recognisable part of the local streetscape. The pub is also situated close to Grønland police station, which gives the location an added connection to the police setting associated with the Harry Hole universe.
In Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole (2026), Enerhaugen Cafe serves as the real-life location for Boxer Bar, the pub where police officers go for a beer after work. The series uses the exterior and setting of the Grønland bar to create a believable local meeting place within Harry Hole’s Oslo. Its position near Grønland police station makes the choice of location especially fitting.
