I actually have chosen to sit in C lounge with a gold card as they had hot dogs there, which they didn't serve in the gold lounge. I really like the SK loungedogs. I couldn't really find any difference in drink quality, as coffee, tea and coke are pretty much the same. The wines they serve aren't among my favorites. You're absolutely right about the liquor. I just don't drink strong stuff just before a flight (a personal decision, I know).

I'm happy to read that there apparently still is staff running around the plane for a second serving or even a first serving. I might just be on a run of bad luck then, as I got served black coffee when asking for tea and sitting in Plus more than once, if I even got anything. That's always quite awkward conversation: "Coffee?" "Tea, please" *attendant grabs my cup, fills it with coffee, hands it over and runs away*. I'll be on 2 SK flights again on Friday, 2 more the Monday thereafter and 3 more 2 days after that (all in seats 1F or 2F), let's see how it goes. Or maybe domestic crews are a bit more service oriented than crews to northern Europe...?
I'm mainly a domestic flyer, so I have until last year only barely managed to get enough points to maintain gold at the old Norwegian qualification level, every year, so I only have had chance to visit a SK lounge five or six times a year. My visits to the OSL lounge have usually been on the "hot dog days". I can only remember one occasion that hot dogs were served in the Business lounge at OSL and not in the Scandinavian lounge as well. But the cart is usually placed in a corner, so it's not that easy to spot.
I certainly have a different experience to you when it comes to coffee/tea service, which in a way is strange since my usual SK flight is one of the few runs with no competition from DY
