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.

I just get really good vibes from this place. The decor is nothing special, there's no music at…read moreall, the beer list is pretty big but slightly confusing and displayed haphazardly on their chalkboards. 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.

It was quite a challenge in a different country, but Danish fellow-Yelpers advised me a few places of which Francis Pony was one. Was I (and the whole group, including my sister) happy we went to Francis Pony! Michelle, the general manager, who I contacted to inform about a private area, was just amazing in thinking in solutions. She made some exceptions and took initiative that meant a lot to us and added to making the night a succes and the bride-to-be a very happy lady! I expected upfront that we would visit quite some bars that evening, but we actually had such a good time at Francis Pony that we stayed there for most of the night. The atmosphere was really chill, the bartenders were friendly and quick, the music was good, we had a nice lounge seat to fit our whole group (thanks to Michelle), enough people to make it crowded in a good way, but not too full that it would be uncomfortable. Also the crowd that visited Francis Pony, that we encountered that evening, were very nice and open. It was possible to dance (we did at some point), although most people there didn't go for that. Let me think of some flaws, before I don't sound credible anymore ;) .... Well if I have to say SOMETHING then maybe that there is just one toilet for the ladies, but I never had to wait, so I wouldn't consider it a con myself. Keep in consideration that we just visited the upstairs, so anything I've said goes for there. When the upstairs is open, I can recommend this as a place to chill with your friends and shake your shimmy on the floor when you get tired of that :)

A couple of them are fruity but they were strong and tasted good. The space is divided into 2 floors. Upstairs is more spacious and had more seating. I think you must be able to reserve a table because we were politely asked to vacate a table for other guests. Crowd is young. Not too much room for dancing. It got full around 1am. Overall good time. Maybe a good spot for you to start your night as there are more clubs and bars nearby.

My most favourite is to sit outside at the street when the weather is warm enough and enjoy the passerby people. The beer is on the cheap side and I usually treat myself a rum with ginger ale which costs 40dkk and you get 2 for 70dkk. I think it's a pretty good deal! The interior is a bit dark but hey it's a rock bar. It has these alternative hanging lamps made out of food cans. And has some weird decorations on the wall but I think it just gives more touch to it. If you like fancy places, well, this is not exactly the place for you. Good atmosphere and nice people. For me that's a good deal and I come here quite often as it is located on one of my favourite streets, Blågardsgade.
