Discover more about Godt Øl

Godt Øl is a celebrated bar tucked away beneath street level in central Copenhagen, just a short wander from the city’s major attractions but far from the touristy bustle. Specializing in small-batch and rare craft beers—both Danish and international—this intimate spot has become a reference point for beer lovers seeking authenticity, variety, and genuine warmth. The bar’s interior is invitingly simple: candle-lit tables, reclaimed wooden furniture, and walls lined with bottles from past favorites give the space a relaxed, lived-in atmosphere. Frequented by locals, after-work crowds, and travelers united by a passion for good brews, Godt Øl’s ambience stands out for its unpretentiousness and knowledgeable, friendly staff. The ever-rotating tap list features everything from innovative Danish IPAs to robust Belgian stouts and wild, sour ales, complemented by a thoughtfully assembled bottle selection. Bar snacks lean toward the Scandinavian—cheese, nuts, and charcuterie—letting the beer take center stage. What makes Godt Øl distinctive isn’t just the exceptional range of beers but its ethos: the owners are deeply involved in Copenhagen’s craft culture, regularly hosting tap takeovers and introducing collaborations with microbreweries. Many patrons strike up conversations at the bar, making it easy for solo visitors to feel welcome. Despite its basement location, the space is bright with character and laughter, a place for both quiet tastings and lively gatherings. Prices are moderate by Copenhagen standards, typically 55–75 DKK for a pint, in keeping with the city’s competitive craft offerings. Outside, the bustling old town awaits, but inside, Godt Øl feels pleasingly timeless—a haven for anyone wishing to explore Denmark’s thriving beer artistry.
