Discover more about Taphouse
A beer playground in the heart of Copenhagen
Taphouse sits on a quiet side street a short stroll from the city hall square, but step inside and you move straight into a world built entirely around beer. The interior is Scandinavian simple: clean lines, wood, exposed surfaces and a long bar that immediately draws the eye. There are no blaring televisions or flashy distractions; the atmosphere is deliberately calm so conversations can stretch as long as the tap list. At street level the bar area is open and airy, with plenty of standing room and clusters of tables for small groups. A staircase leads to a lower floor with additional seating, giving the place a beer-hall feel without losing its intimate corners. Lighting is warm rather than dim, creating a welcoming glow that works just as well in the afternoon as it does late into the night.Sixty-one taps and a world of styles
The headline here is the tap wall: 61 shining taps lined up in strict order, each corresponding to a detailed board that lists style, ABV and origin. The selection is one of the largest draft lineups in Europe, and it shifts constantly. On any given day you might find ultra-fresh Danish IPAs, Belgian farmhouse ales, German lagers, American sours, rich imperial stouts or tangy fruit beers, often from small-batch microbreweries. Taphouse is designed for exploration. Every beer can be ordered as a small taster pour, making it easy to build your own flight and compare styles side by side. Staff are used to curious questions and can help decode the list by flavour rather than jargon. The happy-hour periods on selected taps add an extra incentive to experiment with something you have never heard of before.Beyond hops: snacks, spirits and non-beer options
Although the focus is firmly on draft beer, the bar carries a careful supporting cast. There is a short but useful range of whisky and other spirits, plus simple wines for non-beer drinkers. Light bar snacks such as chips, nuts, cheese and cured meats keep things casual but help anchor those stronger pours. Taphouse also pays attention to inclusivity in what it serves. Expect to see gluten-free bottled beers and alcohol-free options sitting alongside the regular lineup, so mixed groups are unlikely to feel left out. Water is readily available and staff are accustomed to pacing tastings for those who want to dive deep into the board without overdoing it.Rhythm of the day and week
The bar opens in the afternoon on weekdays and at midday from Friday through Sunday, evolving gradually from quiet early sessions to a busier evening buzz. After-work hours on weekdays bring in local office workers and beer enthusiasts keen to catch happy-hour deals. Later at night and on weekends, the mood becomes livelier as groups fill the long tables, yet the absence of loud music keeps the volume at a level where you can still talk easily. Because the tap list is always in flux, every visit feels a little different. A screen or board tracks which beers have just gone on, which are close to running out and how many countries are represented that day. Regulars often use this as a game, hunting new breweries or chasing particular styles, while first-time visitors can simply pick by intuition and enjoy the surprise.Who will enjoy Taphouse most
Taphouse is tailored to people who want to explore beer rather than treat it as background. It works well for small groups of friends, couples comparing tasting flights, solo travellers happy to perch at the bar and chat, and anyone curious about the breadth of modern brewing. The relaxed, unhurried tone makes it as suitable for a quiet afternoon session as for a longer evening out. There is no expectation that you arrive as an expert. The team can translate preferences like “citrusy but not too bitter” or “dark and chocolatey” into specific suggestions. If Copenhagen is your introduction to Scandinavian craft beer, this is an efficient, enjoyable way to sample a wide range of styles and producers under one roof, in a space that balances beer geekery with straightforward hospitality.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
