Local tips

Arrive before 22:00 on Friday and Saturday if you want a table; the compact interior fills quickly once live music and late-night crowds arrive.
Try the Irish coffee or a whisky from the back bar if you want something more distinctive than a standard beer.
Check for quiz or music nights in advance; these evenings have a particularly upbeat atmosphere and can run until the early hours.
If you prefer a calmer vibe, aim for earlier in the evening when the bar feels more like a classic pub than a late-night venue.

An Irish-Inspired Hideout in Central Silkeborg

Roxy Malt sits on Nygade, one of central Silkeborg’s liveliest streets, and feels immediately like a neighbourhood institution. Step through the door and you enter a warm, wood-lined space that blends Irish pub cues with Danish coziness. The bar stretches along one side, stacked with bottles and gleaming taps, while high tables and softer seating nooks invite you to linger with a drink in hand. The crowd skews adult and relaxed rather than rowdy, making it a comfortable choice if you want atmosphere without chaos. It is the sort of place where people meet colleagues after work, friends gather before a night out, and couples settle in for an unhurried drink accompanied by background music and the low murmur of conversation.

Beer, Whiskey and a Proper Irish Coffee

True to its name and concept, Roxy Malt takes its drinks seriously. Expect well-poured draft beer, including familiar international labels and rotating speciality brews, alongside an array of bottled options. The bar keeps a particular focus on quality pours, so you are as likely to see someone savouring a stout as enjoying a lighter lager. Whisky has a starring role here, with a selection that ranges from smooth Irish expressions to fuller-bodied Scotch. One of the house signatures is the Irish coffee, served in the classic style with hot coffee, whiskey and a generous cap of cream. Prices are moderate for Denmark, making it easy to try something new without turning the evening into a splurge.

Music, Screened Sports and Late-Night Energy

As the evening progresses, Roxy Malt shifts gear from laid-back pub to more energetic late-night venue. On selected nights live musicians bring Irish-inspired tunes and familiar sing-along favourites, while at other times DJs or curated playlists keep the tempo up with a mix of international and Danish tracks. Big sporting events are shown on screens, and the atmosphere builds quickly during major football matches or tournaments. Quiz nights and themed evenings add variety, so you might find the bar buzzing with friendly competition one week and packed for a live band the next. Closing hours stretch into the early morning on Fridays and Saturdays, making it a natural final stop on a Silkeborg night out.

A Courtyard Retreat in the Heart of Town

One of Roxy Malt’s appealing features is its courtyard area, tucked away from the street yet still very much part of the city buzz. On mild evenings, this becomes a social hub where groups spill outside with their drinks, enjoying fresh air without losing the pub’s convivial feel. Inside, the décor leans into nostalgic touches: vintage posters, warm lighting and details that nod to classic Irish bars while keeping things contemporary and comfortable. It is atmospheric without feeling themed to excess, and you can just as easily settle in for a quiet whiskey at the bar as join a group raising glasses near the stage or screen.

Who Enjoys Roxy Malt

Roxy Malt is designed for an adult audience, from students and young professionals to more mature regulars who appreciate familiar music and good conversation. It works well as a casual date spot, a gathering place for friends, or a solo-friendly bar where you can sit at the counter and chat with the bartender. With its city-centre location, it also pairs neatly with dinner nearby or an earlier cultural outing in Silkeborg. Whether you drop in for a single post-lake beer or plan to stay until the small hours on a Saturday, the bar offers a consistent blend of friendly service, solid drinks and sociable ambience.

Practical Details for Your Visit

Roxy Malt usually opens on weekend evenings, with the busiest periods late on Friday and Saturday nights. The bar does not serve full meals, but you can expect classic salty bar snacks to accompany your drink. Card payment is the norm, and the compact interior means it can feel pleasantly full even on a regular night. Given its central position, you are within a short stroll of other bars, restaurants and the town’s pedestrian streets, so it is easy to weave Roxy Malt into a longer evening itinerary. Plan a generous window of time: what starts as a quick beer often turns into a longer stay once the music gets going and the atmosphere builds.
