Stopped into WarPigs while visiting Copenhagen because I couldn't resist checking out the BBQ scene abroad. I ordered the brisket sandwich, brisket & beans, mac and cheese, and the hush puppies. The hush puppies were the standout - crispy, golden, and full of flavor. Honestly, they were the star of the meal and something I'd come back for. The brisket and sides were solid, but as someone from Austin, Texas (where the BBQ bar is sky-high), I found them just okay. The brisket had decent smoke but wasn't quite as tender or flavorful as what I'm used to back home. Mac and cheese was creamy, but nothing to write home about, and the beans leaned more toward hearty than standout. The atmosphere is lively - a mix of a beer hall and BBQ joint, with a fantastic selection of beers on tap. Service was friendly and casual, very much in line with the vibe. If you're in Copenhagen and craving BBQ, Warpigs is worth a visit for the hush puppies and the fun brewery atmosphere. Just know that if you're from a BBQ capital like Austin, you may find yourself comparing. read more

The place was very crowded but we had a reservation for our big party. They have an excellent selection of beers and the food was good. The BBQ was good - hush puppies were excellent!! Odd that in Denmark, it was hard to find Danish food :) read more

This place was packed on a Friday night! I stopped by for a late dinner at 9pm, so unfortunately a lot of the items on the food menu were already sold out. I did end up trying the brisket and mac n cheese though. The brisket was super tender, had a great texture, and was pretty tasty (although slightly salty). The mac n cheese was very disappointing though. It was watery and reminded me of low-quality Kraft mac n cheese. The best part about this place is the Mikkeller beer. There's an extensive beer selection here. I really enjoyed my sour. Overall, the ambiance was great and lively. There was a pretty good live band that played from 10-11pm on the night that I visited. read more

if in Copenhagen, and you like beer and BBQ, then get to this place. Nicely located a brief walk from the city center to the Meat Packing district which has some other restaurants and sites. We enjoyed some pints of the house beers from Mikkellar and shared pulled pork and some sides - the baked beans and Mac n cheese were good. They have many communal picnic type tables inside and some outside seating on the patio on nice days overlooking the harbor. Note the prices are a little higher than expected, but worth the experience in our opinion. read more

Echoing many other reviews, WarPigs was incredibly busy. I was actually surprised to see a Texas-style BBQ and craft beer eerily reminiscent of American breweries in the heart of Copenhagen, but it seems to be VERY popular. Since we had a dinner reservation nearby we didn't get any food, but I will saw, from what I saw...everything looked really good. We came here for the beer, and I tried two Hazy IPAs as well as a Black IPA, a new one for me. I am a huge hazy NEIPA fan, and both of these hit perfectly. The hardest part was finding somewhere to post up, which we did eventually. Each beer came out to about $10 US, which isn't bad for the quality and size of the pour. BBQ, beer, or both, WarPigs is definitely worth a visit. read more

For any travelers craving American-style BBQ, this spot is for you! Their brisket sandwich was amazing!

Yeah 5 stars for the sunny day. Five stars for the cold IPA and Five Stars for the Vegan portobello mushroom sandwich! Long walk from our hotel but what a treat. Loved the service and choice of indoor/outdoor dining tables. Yes it's a BBQ restaurant with lots of BBQ for the hungry carnivores but, gotta love they had a little something on the down low for the good guys! read more

Still seems to be a very popular spot in the meat packing district of CPH. It's a vibe coming here for a beer and just chilling with friends. Every time I'm in the area, WarPigs is packed. There's a line to order food, but doesn't take too long. It can be harder to get a table. Sometimes we just crave "American" food when we're abroad. Warpigs is decent BBQ. A little over salted. As one tourist to another, just wait until you get home to fix your BBQ craving. It wasn't worth it the cost. read more

Mikkeller is one of my favorite breweries, and their take on BBQ did not disappoint. I was shocked by how good all the food was. The brisket was definitely the standout, nice smoke ring, thick bark, so juicy and tender. The pulled pork was surprisingly juicy as well where that often ends up being pretty dried out. They were out of hot sausage, so I had whatever the sausage was, tasted like it had cheese in it, wasn't my favorite, but was okay. The mac and cheese was creamy, but not overly strong on the cheese flavor. And the beans lacked the right tangy zing that I'm used to. Burnt ends in the beans was a nice tough though. Hushpuppies were phenomenal though, definitely grew up eating those, and these hit the spot. Overall the fixins are a nice accoutrement to the meat, but certainly didn't outshine it. There's a ton of beer options, and you order in a separate line from the BBQ which is good because the BBQ line definitely got backed up. There were somewhere around 20 beers here, and they had a couple stout options which are my favorite. The Mikkeller in San Diego (RIP) brewed a lot of stouts and they are surprisingly hard to find. Where do I get Beer Geek?? If you're looking to snag some Mikkeller beer and a bite to eat, this is the spot. The place is filled with picnic tables and was super busy around 6 pm on a Thursday when we were there. We could only find tables outside. There is a table full of a handful of different sauces which were fun to try. There isn't really napkins here which is one of my complaints, there's just a roll of paper to pull from by the trash cans. The trash is also set up in a way that makes it hard to pull out and scrape your food off at the same time. The bathroom also wasn't in great shape. As a restaurant, it's by no means a fine dining experience, and in my opinion, could use some touch ups to make the eating here a bit more pleasant all around. But clearly it's not keeping the crowd away, and it won't stop me either from coming back. read more

Copenhagen's beer Mecca.. A collaboration between Three Floyds and Mikkeller. Always great rotating beer on tap Always great smoked meats and sides coming out of the kitchen. I've tried the brisket, hush puppies with pimento cheese, Mac & cheese, burnt ends baked beans and my favorite the smoked wings! It's always busy when I'm here for the Mikkeller Beer Celebration, but there's plenty of seating both inside and out. I always visit when I'm in Copenhagen read more

We love Mikkeller beer. This place was great, albeit, a bit too much like many American beer halls. Giant, loud, super crowded and a bit difficult to find a place to sit. Worth a visit if you're a fan of this brand, my BF got a cool scarf here, and a bunch of stickers (of course). It's in the meat packing district, in a slightly weird sort of strip mall. They have food, and barbeque here - that smelled GREAT - but we did not partake of that. Next time! Worth a visit if you love this brand. read more

This could be your place if you love rock 'n' roll music, especially hard rock. We weren't very hungry so we had burnt end beans and yucca fries. The beans were quite good. The yucca fries were not so great. It's a self-serve kind of place. Apparently it's a destination for a lot of people visiting Copenhagen, but we weren't Swept off our feet. read more

I really wanted to like Warpigs BBQ given the reputation and the long line out the door, but the food was pretty underwhelming--especially if you're coming from the U.S. and are familiar with real Texas-style BBQ. Americans who know Texas BBQ or even American BBQ in general should probably temper their expectations. The brisket was nearly tasteless and lacked the smoky flavor and seasoning you'd normally expect. The chicken had a distinctly rubbery texture that made it hard to enjoy. The mac and cheese was just okay--honestly on par with something like boxed Kraft. The baked beans, however, were actually very good and probably the highlight of the meal. The sauces were also disappointing. It's hard to describe exactly what was wrong with them, but none of them tasted particularly good or complemented the meat. What surprised me the most was the huge crowd and long line for food that was this sub-par. I live in Texas, and honestly I'd rate Rudy's higher than Warpigs--and for those who know Texas BBQ, that's saying something. Overall: great atmosphere and a busy spot, but the BBQ itself didn't live up to the hype. read more

Stopped here for lunch. Fast service as it wasn't busy yet. Had the brisket sandwich w/ mac & cheese. Brisket was tasty but it was a very small portion served on cold bun. The mac was watery and had a sawdust texture to it. $30 USD for that, with no beverage. Skip it and try something less factory like. read more

WarPigs was not on our list of places to go to, but we ran into someone at a museum today, chatted about food, and he really seemed to love this place...and with the Mikkeller connection, we were willing to scrap our original plans and come here instead. We'll preface this review by saying that we're from the BBQ capital of America (Austin, TX, baby!), so we have a pretty foundational understanding of what constitutes good Q or not. WarPigs mostly disappointed. First of all the service really needs some attention. You order sides and meats from the station on the right, and the two dudes there had very little interest in helping us get a lay of the land (i.e. did not indicate that we should be picking up silverware there, so there was a lot of walking back-and-forth trying to figure out what was where). Beer station is separate, and the beer is great, natch. We did the combo platter. As for meat, all that got you was only ONE thick slice of brisket that was DRY as hell. Embarrassing. The pulled pork was good though, while the sausage was decent. Pickles (you have to buy them FYI, shameful) were fine. The mac-n-cheese side was a saucy and mealy mess--just gross. We got it for our daughter and it was so bad that she refused to eat it. The baked beans with burnt ends did *not* have any burnt ends (just more of the dry brisket mixed in) and they were dry and all caked together, so equally unappetizing. Honestly, the absolute best dish that we got here was a side meal of fried cauliflower with green tahini. That was spectacular: crisp veggies in a kind of ras-el-hanout coating with a tangy pool of sauce. So shockingly good after all the BBQ mediocrity. Tables are dirty, it's loud and busy, but we liked the vibe nonetheless. We really wanted to have an awesome experience here but left unimpressed and disappointed. A waste of a meal out in Copenhagen sadly! Our museum buddy steered us wrong :( Three stars. P.S. Ismageriet Kødbyen is an ice cream place just a few storefronts down that is MIND-BLOWINGLY amazing!! Some of the best ice cream that we have ever had. They don't have a Yelp profile, but we strongly recommend it if you're in the area. Every flavor (and believe us when we say that we sampled plenty) is to die for. read more

Decent beer and decent BBQ. WarPigs came up as a brewery while I was on vacation in Copenhagen. It was walking distance from my Airbnb so I went to check it out. I like the vibe of WarPigs. It's got a modern rustic interior, is a fairly big space and has tons of seating inside and out. Plus there's plenty of sauce for the BBQ at every table. Beer and BBQ ordering is done separately. Initially I wanted a beer, and had a good time with a helpful bartender finding something to drink. It was a high ABV IPA that wasn't too hoppy. Eventually I went back and got some ribs and brisket. They were ok and would have been better with some Sweet Baby Ray's, but hey, can't have everything you want on vacation. I would definitely visit WarPigs again. read more

This is a 4.5 for me. I enjoyed everything, as did the rest of the group. The Mac is liquidy, but is definitely cheesy enough. The ribs were tender and well smoked. Brisket wasn't dry, nor overly fatty. Being from the states my complaint was that they missed a thick, sweet sauce... and my wife thought that the brisket rub was too salty. In the grand scheme of BBQ this is solid. read more

I am from the southern US. This place was hit or miss for me on authenticity and taste. I didn't enjoy my meal but the others in my party did. It is loud, busy, hard to find a table. We ate with someone else's dirty dishes at our seat. To order you stand in line and carry your food to your seat. Drinks are sold in a separate line. Pros: The pork meat at Warpigs seems like what I'd eat back home. Brisket was a little dry but good. My friends like their pulled pork. The link with cheese in it was very tasty and didn't taste too smoky. Potato salad was good. Chicken was sold out, which is my go to a barbecue restaurants so that was disappointing. It was not even late in the evening. Cons: The smoked wings seem breaded and fried. Not smoked. Definitely breaded. The sauce that comes with them is some kind of ranch/blue cheese mash up. It was not for me. It would start tasting good and then I'd get a hunk of blue cheese. The Mac and cheese is a very poor representation of American Mac n Cheese. It is watery and doesn't taste cheesy. 10/10 don't recommend (and Mac n cheese is usually my favorite thing at a bbq). No one in our group liked theirs. read more

My husband and I were only in Copenhagen for the weekend and one of the place that was on our list WarPigs. We trekked through the rain and was so excited to try them, they were packed even with so much rain, Bryan ordered at the front while I went out and found us a table. We ended up ordering potato salad, sweet pickles, a brisket sandwich and a beef rib. I don't know if I am really spoiled with the amazing bbq we have back at home but I was so disappointed. My beef rib was so dry it was hard to eat, I tried drenching it in sauce but it was still pretty tough. My sweet pickles were really tart, a little too much acidity to it. Bryan that his sandwich was fine but the only thing I thought was good was the potato salad. I wish I had a better experience, I didn't see much people eating mostly drinking the beer, we did get a couple t-shirts for souvenirs but I would say this place might a skip. read more

My husband and I had just landed in Copenhagen from a morning of flying and were staying at the Tivoli Hotel headed to Tivoli Gardena itself. Lo' and behold it was a rainy overcast day in CPH, surprise surprise! Hah. But we were really craving something warm and protein forward. Which led us to WarPigs! To be honest, I didn't have the highest expectations. Having awesome BBQ from home and across the US, I wasn't expecting this place to necessarily be stand out. Boy, was I wrong. This place was phenomenal. It's tucked in an industry style area right by the gardens. We walked in, counter style where they make it in front of you and you ring out. We opted to share a brisket sandwich with all the fixings, burnt end beans, spicy a pickles and an order of the mac entree ( which takes about 5-10 minutes to prepare). They also have a stellar beer list as it's a brewery as well! The atmosphere is spacious and open with large community tables through out. They have MASSIVE paper towel rolls and you can grab pitchers and glasses of water as well as their crates of BBQ when you sit down. Everything was amazing. The real stand out was the BBQ sauce. They have four types and every single one was delicious. Seriously I think the best bbq sauce we've ever had. Shared a pastry sour, good but not stand out. Overall, absolutely delicious and really hit the spot. We basically rolled out of there. read more

Came here twice. I liked it so much the first time I went back... And also, a very pleasant surprise the bar-bee-que was absolutely top notch! And I am a Southern Man and have been to all the marquee places in the Southern U.S., and have to tell you the brisket hear rivals any brisket I have had. I was very pleasantly SHOCKED! I have been to their family brewery in Iceland as well, this one is better. I had a few of the IPA's and they were absolutely spectacular. Not quite in the same discussion with the Heady and/or Tree House, but way, way up there. Supreme quality. All of the beers here are excellent. They do it right, and know what they are doing... read more

While in the area our group decided to visit Warpigs Brewpub. It's a cool spot where they specialize in smoked meats.

I'd say reviewers from the states are spot on with their reviews of WarPigs. 1. It's So loud and busy that it makes you want to turn right back around and find somewhere else to eat. Most of the tables are picnic tables and then there's some awkward seating on a riser- it's too cramped and there's no way a US Fire Marshall would allow it lol. 2. Awkward ordering, we ordered brisket, pulled pork, hush puppies, and tots. The meat was given to us right away, yet the sides weren't ready for another fifteen minutes, we ate the meat before the sides were done. Both meats were good but a little dry. The sauces were good and helped mask the dryness. The hush puppies came with pimento cheese, together it was good but we didn't finish them. The "tots" came in a boat of 5 and they were large- not your typical America tot. Again, we didn't finish these. 3. It's super expensive! Two sodas alone were $14, like what? I don't think we'd go for dinner again, too crowded and the wait for food just weren't worth it. Lunch? Maybe. read more

Wow! Coming from KC, this place had a lot to live up to and boy did it! The vibe is so fun, yes, it is loud but that makes it perfect. The two lines, one for beer and one for food, was long but so incredibly fast. Definitely get a beer before you wait in line for food, then grab another beer before you sit down to eat. We got Mac and cheese, spicy pickles and pulled pork sandwiches. Try the mustard sauce on the side. YUM! read more

WarPigs is a a great place for beer with or without food. The BBQ is pretty good. We had the brisket, chicken wings (Szechwan level) , chicken, special links, Cole slaw & Mac & cheese (plus a size of the wing Death sauce). Everything was good and the wings by far were the favorite meet selection. The beer selection is great. We sat inside but there's also tables outside. It was great to just hangout and enjoy. read more

After I heard several people rave about how the BBQ here was almost level to that in Texas, I had to go try it out. And, although it did not reach that level exactly, the food was still awesome. When I went in around 18:00, the place was already packed. People were sitting at almost every table and having a great time. Thankfully, there was no line to get food, though. I got 1/2 lb brisket with a side of Cole slaw, which was expensive. Given, it's Copenhagen, so you can't go into a restaurant expecting it to be cheap. The first thing I noticed was that the brisket was almost hard to eat; it would start falling apart as you lifted it with your fork. It was incredibly juicy and flavorful and fell off the bone (even though there were no bones). The smoke ring left a little to be desired, but the bark made up for it. It's not the best bark I have ever seen on brisket, but some of the best I have had in a restaurant. As for the Cole Slaw, it wasn't the greatest. Was it bad? No, but it was a little watery and pretty strong. Combined with the bustling atmosphere and great food, I'd definitely recommend coming here during your stay in Copenhagen. read more

Service wasn't great but if you're an American missing home, this is a great place to stop and get some comfort food. Most people are kind enough to scooch over and make room for you if you want to sit outside. The variety of sauces was fun to try. Pricey but good. read more

I've been to Three Floyd's brewery years back and was excited to give War Pigs. I was hoping for good bbq and they didn't disappoint! Location was really cool, plenty of space and busy, but not a long wait. My wife and I went big... the Texas Smørrebrød. A list of bread sliced the long way and topped with brisket, pulled pork, special sausage (they were out of the regular one so they upgraded us to the special sausage of the day), then cabbage slaw, and pickles. Pork and the sausage were the best, brisket was good. A lot of food. The party next to us was surprised the two of us were going to take it on and congratulated is when we finished. Many bbq sauces to try as well, plus tasty beer. read more

Absolutely loved the vibe, read: atmosphere, service and yes food. From the moment you walk in, place smells and looks clean. Great beers on tap, very friendly service at the bar and kitchen. Organized process, had a pint by the window looking out at the people in the meat packing district (nice people watching) - then stepped up to the kitchen. Brisket, pork shoulder and spare ribs - priced by the 1/4, 1/2 and 1 lb. All delicious, Mac n' cheese basic, but delicious. Burnt tip with beans side also wonderful but includes a healthy amount of meat. Tip: easy to go overboard and order more meat than you can eat (that's what she said) be conscious of your order, you'll fill fast with a few pints. Overall - a must stop. read more

If you love food and beer or if you have a pulse you'd be an absolute fool to miss out on an opportunity to feast on Denmark's greatest contribution to the world of BBQ. It's a walk up style food line that has some tremendous options including brisket, sausage, ribs, pulled pork, and some incredible classic sides like potato salad, baked beans, and coleslaw. The beer selection is equallly impressive and sure to satisfy any beer loving palate. The staff are friendly and professional and even capable of some snarky humor.
