Local tips
- Arrive close to opening time on warm summer evenings, as the all-outdoor courtyard fills quickly and reservations may be limited in peak season.
- Bring or wear an extra layer; even in summer, Bornholm evenings can turn cool, and you will be sitting outside for the entire meal.
- If you are sharing, combine the house burger with one or two tapas-style plates to sample more of the menu without over-ordering.
- Ask staff about any local beers or special wines by the glass; the list is compact but often includes interesting regional choices.
- On breezy or damp days, check the same-day opening hours before heading over, as an all-outdoor venue may adjust for weather.

A courtyard hideaway in the heart of Gudhjem
Spektakel-bar sits on Åbogade, a small street just back from Gudhjem’s harbour, but feels like a tucked-away backyard rather than a typical town restaurant. You step off the pavement into an enclosed garden courtyard, surrounded by wooden fences, climbing plants and simple outbuildings. Tables are scattered under strings of lights and open sky, creating the feel of an intimate summer gathering more than a formal dining room. The entire experience is built around outdoor seating, so the seasons shape the mood. On warm evenings, the place feels bright and sociable, with chatter rising over the clink of glasses. When the air cools, blankets, cushions and candles turn the courtyard into a snug nook, with flickering light playing on the weathered wood and stone.Simple menu, bold flavours
Spektakel-bar keeps its food offering deliberately focused. Expect a compact menu anchored by a house burger, generous tapas-style plates and snacks that showcase solid ingredients rather than elaborate presentation. The burger is usually built on robust sourdough-style or brioche bread, with well-seasoned meat and crisp potatoes that often get as much attention as the patty itself. Tapas boards might combine cured meats, cheeses, dips, roasted vegetables and house-baked crispbread or dark rye, leaning into Nordic flavours without becoming overly formal. Portions tend to be hearty enough to make sharing fun, whether you are starting the evening or settling in for a full meal. Vegetarian-friendly options are typically available, though the selection can change with the season and the kitchen’s current focus.Drinks with character and a personal touch
The bar is a key part of Spektakel’s identity. Behind the counter you will usually find a compact but thoughtful list of wines, often including interesting European bottles, alongside local and regional beers served on tap or in bottles. The emphasis is on quality rather than quantity, with staff able to point you toward something that suits your taste. Cocktails and spritz-style drinks appear on the menu as well, leaning into fresh, summery profiles that match the outdoor setting. Alongside alcoholic options, you can expect non-alcoholic sodas, juices and sometimes homemade lemonades, making it easy for mixed groups and families to settle in comfortably at the same table.Laid-back Bornholm atmosphere
What distinguishes Spektakel-bar is the atmosphere it creates in a relatively small footprint. Tables are placed close enough to feel convivial without being crowded, encouraging a relaxed, communal feel that suits Gudhjem’s holiday rhythm. In the height of summer, the courtyard can hum with energy, while shoulder-season evenings feel more intimate and slow-paced. Everyday details reinforce the casual charm: mismatched chairs, simple tableware, handwritten touches on the menu. There is no sense of formality; guests may arrive in hiking clothes after a coastal walk or dressed up for a special evening and still feel equally at home. Occasional live music nights add another layer, turning dinner into an informal mini-event under the open sky.Seasonal rhythms and practical considerations
Because Spektakel-bar operates with only outdoor seating, the experience is closely tied to weather and season. The main opening window is the warmer months, with regular evening hours concentrated from late afternoon into the night. Even within that period, windy or rainy days can shape how comfortable it feels to linger, although coverings, blankets and a sheltered layout help extend the season. The restaurant’s scale means that tables can fill quickly in peak summer, especially in the early evening when families and couples converge after a day of exploring Bornholm. Time your visit for the opening hour if you prefer a quieter setting or aim later in the evening when the light softens and the ambience shifts toward a more grown-up, bar-like mood.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
