Jerbanecafeen has been around since the early 30s. The decades have been kind to this bar and it's patrons. The decor is an homage to its histrory. They crowd is lively and pints are constantly getting poured. There are people singing, talking, and laughing. The atmosphere is clearly about having a good time. As you look around the bar, you can see all of the vestiges of history that makes this place so unique. I look forward to my next visit.

You walk into this spot, and you'll understand what Louis R is saying. Actually, you probably won't be flying to Denmark, so just read on. This spot is located in the meatpacking district of Copenhagen. Sure, there are lots of dirty drug users mulling about but there are also well-dressed young professionals grabbing Danish fare and Carlsberg drafts in large groups. Its the epicenter of this socialist society. There are no boundaries. The outdoor area is clutch in the summer and most of the patrons are loud/boisterous yet friendly. Join a crowd and start yelling, too. Be like Louis R, hit up the Denmark grimey spots.

Getting beer in Copenhagen can be a tricky business lately…read more It's not just about buying a six pack of Tuborg from nearby Netto to drink over on the street of Nyhavn while feeling smug toward the tourists who "have" to pay overpriced beers from those nearly picturesque cafe traps along the canal. Nope, we need a place too that isn't as snotty as cocktail bars around the posh Holmens Kanal or the lively Gammel Strand that can be a little bit too daunting to navigate on Friday or Saturday night but it shouldn't be those dodgy bodegas where the elderly generations of this country spend their time chugging their favourite Tuborg while shouting "det' hyggeligt, ikk os?" to each other either Ølbaren is just perfect place in between. A simple place where you can get a decent beer (if you can't stand the usual horsepiss pilsner that are widely available here) and can still hold proper conversation with your friend without the dunk-dunk-dunk techno music whatever that they play these days. As a matter of fact, they played classic jazz which I liked, with a volume just right to be enjoyed in the background. The bartender is friendly and could recommend you the beer that you will enjoy based on your preference. They have quite a selection so you could try to find your favourite for your next visit. This is simply no BS kinda place where you just can.... *drum rolls*.... enjoy beer.

However, there's just a good feeling about this bar. Loved that we could sit and talk for hours here. The crowd here seemed friendly. We got friendly advice from the folks already at the bar about the different beers. This was actually very useful because the chalkboard does not list the beer's percent alcohol or beer style! It was full but not packed on a Thursday night. By the time our rather large crowd of 7 picked up the drinks at the bar, a corner table had opened up so we got to sit. I had a beer with the fantastic name of "Flying Couch" which was very dark, sweet, and malty (good in a 25 cl size, probably undrinkable if any larger). I'm not sure how large their beer selection is, but certainly large enough so that I got to try a few new beers. I wouldn't call this a very hip or exciting place, but it is a great place to hangout and chat with friends.

We sat outside and it is on the main shopping street so you could just soak in the city and watch all the people pass by. Great people watching. We shared the fish and chips as well as a salad. Portions of the fish were big so unless you are absolutely starving, would recommend sharing.. Both were good. Nothing outstanding but nothing bad. They hit the spot. If you want to watch the people go by and have some decent pub type food, this place is a good choice.
