Discover more about Cafe 33
A classic Copenhagen local on Bellahøjvej
On the edge of Vanløse, close to the green slopes of Bellahøj Park, Cafe 33 is very much a neighborhood institution. From the outside it looks modest, with simple signage and large windows that glow warmly after dark. Step inside and it feels like time has slowed down a little: a long bar counter, a few well‑worn tables, a gaming machine or two and, often, a pool table forming the social center of the room. This is not a polished design café, but a straightforward local where the focus is on familiar faces and easy conversation. The layout is compact and open, so you immediately see the whole room and who is here, which adds to the social, slightly boisterous character of the place.Atmosphere of smoke, chatter and barroom rituals
The first impression is often the mix of music, clinking glasses and the low rumble of Danish conversations drifting from the bar. Cafe 33 is known as a proper bar rather than a quiet coffeehouse, and it can feel lively, especially in the late afternoon and on weekend nights. Smoking has historically been part of the ambience in Copenhagen bodega‑style bars, and you should be prepared for that cozy but hazy atmosphere. Regulars greet the bartender by name, small groups gather around the pool table, and newcomers are quickly drawn into the easygoing rhythm of games, jokes and barroom rituals.Drinks first, food very much second
Despite being listed in some places alongside restaurants, Cafe 33 is all about the drinks. You can expect standard Danish draft beers, bottled lagers, simple spirits and the occasional shot lined up on the bar. Prices are typically on the inexpensive side for Copenhagen, which keeps locals coming back for after‑work rounds and unplanned evenings that stretch on longer than expected. Any food on offer, if available, is basic and secondary to the bar experience – think snacks or simple café plates rather than destination dining. This is somewhere you drop into before or after a meal elsewhere, or settle in for a long night with friends rather than a multi‑course dinner.Everyday social life in Vanløse
What makes Cafe 33 interesting is less any single feature and more the glimpse it gives into everyday Copenhagen social life. The crowd tends to be a mix of locals from the surrounding housing blocks, workers unwinding, and occasional visitors drawn in from Bellahøj Park or the nearby main roads. The dress code is casual to the point of invisible; practical jackets hang on hooks, and the most prized seats are simply those with a good view of the bar or the game in progress. There is no curated playlist or themed interior, but there is a strong sense of routine and familiarity. Regulars know when certain people tend to arrive, which seat they prefer and what they drink, and that predictability gives the place its particular charm.When to go and what to expect
Earlier in the day, Cafe 33 can feel fairly relaxed – a place for a quiet beer, a chat with the bartender and watching the street outside. As the evening approaches, it becomes more animated, and tables fill with groups talking across each other in a pleasantly chaotic way. If you appreciate old‑school bars with character, low prices and zero pretension, Cafe 33 is worth a stop while exploring Vanløse and Bellahøj. If you prefer smoke‑free, design‑driven coffee bars, you may simply enjoy glancing in as you pass by on your way to the nearby park or other dining spots in the area.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
