Discover more about 12`er Pubben
A neighborhood pub on Fenrisvej
12`er Pubben sits in a residential corner of Helsingør, a small, no-frills bodega that feels like it has always been part of the street. Step inside and you enter a compact, low-lit room centered on the bar, where regulars linger over draft beer and straightforward drinks. The scale is intimate, more living room than large venue, which quickly brings strangers into the same easy conversation. The pub’s name nods to the Danish love of football and the idea of the "12th man" on the team, and that spirit of camaraderie runs through the place. It is less about polished design than about a sense of belonging, the sort of bar where the staff quickly remembers faces and where it is perfectly acceptable to sit alone with a beer and simply watch the room.Interiors built for billiards and banter
Inside, 12`er Pubben is a time capsule of classic Danish bar culture. Expect dark wooden surfaces, simple tables and chairs, and practical bar stools arranged to give a good view of both the billiard table and the TV screens. Neon touches, brewery signs and sports memorabilia add color without feeling staged, reinforcing the unpretentious atmosphere. The billiard table is a focal point, with cues racked on the wall and chalked tips ready for the next game. Matches unfold at an unhurried pace, accompanied by the clink of glasses and low laughter from nearby tables. Overhead, a mix of older hits and more recent tracks plays at a volume that allows conversation to dominate rather than the sound system.Sports, music and slow afternoons
Televised sports are part of the pub’s rhythm, particularly football matches that draw small groups who come specifically to watch together. On game nights the screens become a shared focal point, with reactions rippling through the bar in real time. Outside of major fixtures, the televisions fade into the background, leaving space for card games, casual chats and solitary newspaper reading. Early in the day the pace is gentle, with daylight filtering in and a handful of regulars occupying their customary seats. Later, especially on Fridays and Saturdays, the mood grows livelier as friends meet after work, music edges a little louder, and the bar fills out without tipping into nightclub territory. It remains a talking pub rather than a dancing one.Local flavor and practical comforts
Drinks focus on beer and simple bar staples rather than elaborate cocktails. You are likely to find familiar Danish and international lagers on tap or in bottles, plus spirits for straightforward mixed drinks and shots. Prices tend toward the inexpensive, which encourages another round and makes it a natural choice for a relaxed evening rather than a splurge. Practical touches help anchor 12`er Pubben in everyday life. There is typically somewhere to hang your coat, a corner table suitable for small groups, and enough seating that you can settle in for a few hours. The compact footprint keeps everything close: the bar, the billiard table, the televisions, and the main seating area are all within a few steps of each other.Who will enjoy 12`er Pubben
This is a place for those who appreciate authentic, local nightlife over curated trends. Solo travelers looking to experience a real Danish bodega will find it an approachable entry point, especially in the afternoon when it is quieter. Couples and small groups can use it as a relaxed base for a night out in Helsingør, particularly if they enjoy a game of billiards or want to catch live sport in company. It is also a natural match for visitors staying in the area who wish to see an everyday side of the city beyond the historic center and castle. With its casual vibe, modest prices and emphasis on conversation, 12`er Pubben offers a slice of local social life that complements Helsingør’s more obviously scenic attractions.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
