Getting There

  • Walking

    Kompasset Ølbar is a pleasant walk from the heart of Østerbro, located along the district’s bustling main boulevard. It’s roughly a 10–15-minute stroll from the main shopping area and Fælledparken, Copenhagen’s largest urban park, making it easy to fit into an afternoon of exploring. The bar’s exterior with large windows and a cozy glow is easy to spot, especially as you pass by local cafés and bakeries en route.

  • Public Transport

    Several city buses run frequently along the main boulevard in Østerbro and stop within a couple minutes’ walk of the bar. Single fare tickets within the city area typically cost 15–25 DKK. Both standard fare buses and S-train services connect the district with central Copenhagen and neighboring boroughs, allowing for flexible arrival, rain or shine.

  • Taxi

    A taxi ride from central Østerbro or the main city train station usually takes 8–12 minutes, depending on traffic, and costs in the 80–130 DKK range. Taxis can usually drop you off at the curb by the bar’s entrance, but note that evening demand may be higher and traffic a little busier on weekends.

  • Driving/Parking

    Parking in Østerbro can be limited, especially during peak evening hours. Paid street parking is available in the surrounding area, typically at a rate of 19–25 DKK per hour. No special permits are needed, though spaces can fill quickly on busy nights, so consider public transport for stress-free access.
