The Dubliner, Copenhagen

Irish warmth on a Copenhagen square

The Dubliner sits on Amagertorv, one of Copenhagen’s most central pedestrian squares, and feels instantly familiar if you know traditional Irish pubs. A deep wooden bar, dark paneling and snug corners create a cocoon from the busy shopping streets outside, while flags, framed jerseys and old pub memorabilia bring a touch of Dublin to the Danish capital. Large front windows and outdoor tables spill onto the square in good weather, turning the pub into a prime people‑watching perch. Step inside and the soundtrack is a mix of rock classics, Irish tunes and the low rumble of conversation. The layout is open and roomy for such a central location, with high tables, banquettes and bar stools designed for groups as much as solo visitors. Warm lighting and the amber glow from the taps complete the feeling of a traditional city-centre pub transplanted to Scandinavia.

Hearty pub classics and all‑day comfort food

The menu leans firmly into comforting pub fare, with fish and chips, burgers, pies and Irish-inspired dishes at its core. Plates tend to be generous and familiar rather than experimental, aiming to match the setting: crispy battered fish with chunky fries, stacked burgers with sauces and sides, and sharing snacks like nachos or wings for those settled in for a match. Earlier in the day, it doubles as an easygoing lunch spot for simple sandwiches and mains, popular with nearby office workers and shoppers taking a break. The kitchen keeps service straightforward and continuous through much of the day, making it an easy choice when you want something filling without overthinking where to go.

Pints, pours and sports on the screens

As you would expect from an Irish pub, the bar is a central attraction. Guinness is a point of pride, poured slowly and served in its familiar tulip glass. You will also find Irish and international beers on tap, along with bottled options, spirits, Irish whiskeys and standard long drinks. Prices are in the moderate Copenhagen range, reflecting its prime location, but many visitors linger for more than one round. Sport is a key part of the Dubliner’s identity. Big screens positioned around the bar show football, rugby and other major events, turning match days into lively gatherings of fans draped in team colours. Even when there is no big game, the screens provide a backdrop of highlights and sports channels without overwhelming the room.

Live music and evening atmosphere

In the evenings, especially towards the weekend, live music often takes over. Small bands or solo performers play Irish folk, rock covers and sing‑along favourites, encouraging the crowd to join in on choruses. The combination of music, flowing pints and a cosmopolitan crowd gives the bar an energetic but generally relaxed feel rather than an all‑out nightclub vibe. Because it opens from mid-morning until after midnight most days, the atmosphere shifts throughout the day: quieter and more laid‑back around lunch, busier and more social by late afternoon, and full-on pub buzz by night. It is the kind of place where travellers meet friends, expats seek a familiar accent at the bar, and locals drop in to catch a match or listen to a set.

A central meeting point in Indre By

Being located on Amagertorv makes The Dubliner an easy rendezvous point right in Indre By. It sits among historic facades, flagship shops and nearby squares, which means you can combine a visit with sightseeing or shopping without detouring far. Outdoor seating lets you enjoy the architecture of the surrounding streets with a pint in hand when the weather cooperates. Inside, English is widely spoken by the international staff, adding to its reputation as a welcoming hub for visitors from many countries. Whether you are craving a taste of Ireland, a straightforward pint and a match, or simply a convivial bar in the heart of Copenhagen to end the day, The Dubliner offers a reliably lively, pub-style experience in a very Danish setting.
