EBG Rating: 7.8/10

Choice/Quality of Drinks:
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Among the finest range of specialist beers in Denmark with a small cider selection. Specials available with guests from Dry & Bitter.

Style/Décor:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Leafy terrace off a main road, leading to a small candlelit basement bar with corner bar area. Mixture of leaning posts and low slung battered old lounge furniture that can safely be described as shabby chic.

Atmosphere/Character:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Candlelight works well in the indoors in winter, as does the nice terrace in spring and summer, but this is a bar needing customers to create atmosphere unlike many which work well whether busy or quiet.

Amenities/Events:
❤️❤️❤️
Snacks, games, outdoor seating, occasional events.

Value For Money:
❤️
Given small pours are 0.2l this is at the top end of craft beer pricing in the city and there are not even minor concessions.

Description:
An already famed Meatpacking District craft bar with pleasant beer garden and candlelit poky interior, Fermentoren makes no concessions in its offering of very high quality craft beer. That you’ll be paying an arm and a leg for it is already accepted, so bear this in mind. There’s no point spending your time here overthinking the money being deducted from your account, simply enjoy the fact it has supreme offerings in a pleasant environment.

Spring lounging on the terrace is a must, as is joining the throng on a busy winter evenings. In between those peaks it can feel a little cold inside in winter months seemingly with only the candles for warmth.

A clear mark better than the many corporate craft bars with their very bland template, this is a bar with its own identity regardless of its superior drinks offerings, so something worth pointing out to you, and something worth your attention.
