Local tips
- Come on weekday afternoons if you want a quieter atmosphere with time to enjoy coffee, cake or an early plate of traditional Danish food.
- If you enjoy billiards or pool, ask at the bar about joining an informal game or small tournament; it is a good way to meet locals.
- Weekend evenings and late nights tend to be the liveliest, especially Fridays and Saturdays, so arrive earlier if you prefer a seat away from the bar.
- Bring cash or a widely accepted card, as small-town bars sometimes have limited payment options or minimum amounts for card use.
- Dress casually and comfortably; this is a laid-back local hangout where practical clothes are more common than anything formal.

A neighborhood living room in the heart of Årslev
Terningen sits on Stationsvej, a main street address that hints at its role as a small-town gathering point in Årslev. From the outside, it looks like many Danish local bars: low-key signage, a simple facade and a few tables that spill toward the street when the weather is kind. Step through the door and the mood changes immediately to warm and familiar, with the quiet clink of glasses, low conversation in Danish and the muted sounds of a match on television. This is very much a locals' place, created and still run under the name of Henrik Skovlykke Vedel Hansen, who has been associated with community life in Årslev since around the turn of the millennium. The bar doubles as a social hub where people from the area meet after work, before a match or simply to catch up. There is nothing polished or designed about it; the charm lies in the sense that the room has grown organically with the town.Simple Danish comfort food from morning to late night
Although Terningen is technically a bar, food plays a surprisingly central role. The kitchen turns out hearty, traditional dishes that suit the relaxed surroundings: a well-known favorite is the generous Danish-style egg cake, often served with rye bread and accompaniments, while the grill offers straightforward plates such as meat with potatoes, sauces and salads. Portions tend to be filling rather than fussy, with an emphasis on everyday flavors. During the day, the atmosphere softens further as guests drop in for coffee and cake. A slice of homemade or bakery-style cake with a hot drink offers a quiet pause, especially on colder days when the windows steam slightly and the outside world feels distant. Later in the day, classic bar staples take over: draught beer, bottled lagers, simple mixed drinks and soft drinks for those who are driving. Prices sit in a moderate range by Danish standards, making it feasible to stay for a while without worrying too much about the bill.Pool tables, friendly tournaments and slow evenings
One of Terningen’s most distinctive features is its focus on billiards and pool. Tables occupy a central part of the space, and they are rarely idle in the afternoons and evenings. Informal tournaments are a recurring theme, attracting regulars who enjoy both the game and the social side of light-hearted competition. Spectators often cluster around with beers in hand, offering commentary and encouragement. Even if you do not play yourself, the presence of the tables adds energy and movement to the room. It is easy to strike up a conversation over a missed shot or an impressive run of balls. For solo travelers, this makes Terningen an approachable place: you can sit quietly at a corner table, or you can step into the social current simply by asking for a game.An authentic slice of everyday Funen life
Beyond the drinks and food, Terningen offers a snapshot of daily life in a small Danish town on Funen. Regulars greet each other by name, and new faces are generally absorbed into the flow with a nod and a smile. On quieter weekdays, the bar can feel almost like a shared living room, with newspapers on tables and low music in the background. On weekend evenings, the tempo rises as people arrive in groups, chatting more loudly and lingering until closing time. There is no dress code and no need to plan ahead: it is the kind of place you can wander into after a countryside walk or a visit to nearby towns like Ringe or Odense. English is understood to varying degrees, but a few friendly words and a willingness to adapt to local rhythms go a long way. For travelers who enjoy seeing the everyday side of Denmark away from big-city wine bars and cocktail lounges, Terningen offers an unfiltered, welcoming experience.Practical notes for a comfortable visit
Terningen is open daily, generally from late morning or mid-afternoon until late evening, staying open a bit longer on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Seating is mostly indoors at small tables and around the bar, with some chairs that work well for longer stays over a meal or a game. Mobile reception in this part of Årslev is typically reliable, so arranging onward plans or ride-hailing is straightforward. Facilities are functional rather than glamorous: expect standard restrooms, basic indoor seating and places to rest your drink while you play pool. There is no formal cloakroom or locker system; coats usually hang on wall hooks or the back of chairs. The atmosphere is casual enough that you can stay for a quick beer or settle in for several hours, using Terningen as a base between exploring the surrounding countryside and small towns of central Funen.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
