EBG Rating: 7.5

Choice/Quality of Drinks:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
A superior selection than the usual brown café with 4 different beers on tap to the norm still from local brewers, and European bottles. Formerly award winners for their selection though that has become a little superseded. Typical Danish back bar selection.

Style/Décor:
❤️❤️❤️
Twee upholstery but a nice corner pub layout. Bar room in the entrance with lounge/billiards room to the left. Lamp light.

Atmosphere/Character:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
A pleasant calmness to the afternoon, while it takes on another character in the evening, a livelier neighbourly feel.

Amenities/Events:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bar games, pool, skittles, books, snacks

Value For Money:
❤️❤️❤️
A range of pricing but there are some reasonable options if you dig into it.

Description:
Nørrebro’s everyday feel is enhanced by its corner pubs, three examples of which are on the same street, this being among them.

Inside is a rather twee affair if you stop to inspect it, but the layout is pleasingly pubby, and its no old-timers place fading away. There’s a sense of relevance to it with a modern beer selection, young staff and a feeling even on a calm afternoon it will burst into life soon enough.

Formerly award winning for its beer selection, although that has become a little superseded. Nevertheless, this is among Copenhagen’s better ‘bodegas’ , as reviews attest, and an easy bus ride out from the centre to get to.
