Haven't been to Norway, but assuming it is the same as Sweden/Denmark/Iceland....
The price you see is what you pay - it includes VAT and 'tip'. They don't really believe in tipping, becasue they get paid a good wage and in turn, are expected to do a good job. Some fancy, high-end restaurants may encourage a tip, but no server/bartender would bat an eye if you didn't tip on top of the posted price.
It's a WAY better way of pricing.
Also, if you aren't being a total jackass , no one really cares if you are sitting in a park enjoying a beer. it's far cheaper than the bar.
