Discover more about The Copenhagener

With its welcoming courtyard lined with string lights and vibrant chatter, The Copenhagener is a fixture of Helsingør’s social landscape. Set amid the winding lanes of the old town, this beer garden and bar exudes the relaxed, hyggelig (cozy) spirit that defines Danish communal life. From morning to midnight, the tables fill with all walks of life—regulars catching up over hearty smørrebrød, visitors sampling draft Danish brews, and families sharing plates beneath the open sky. Inside, the atmosphere is equal parts vintage pub and urban retreat: wood-paneled walls, an eclectic mix of local art and memorabilia, and the unmistakable aroma of classic Danish comfort food. The menu leans on unpretentious favorites: schnitzels, juicy steaks, generous burgers, savory fries, and sandwiches, often introduced with a warm smile from bustling staff. Drinks are equally approachable, spanning crisp lagers, crowd-pleasing ciders, and a rotating cast of regional craft beers at prices refreshingly reasonable for Denmark. More than a place to eat and drink, The Copenhagener doubles as a social anchor—a stopover for solo travelers after a visit to Kronborg Castle or groups plotting their next ferry ride to Sweden. On weekends, the air thrums with energy from themed quiz nights or live music, while the outdoor garden is a magnet when the sun shines, dotted with locals and tourists soaking up the Danish summer. The generous opening hours and child-friendly vibe make it equally suitable for late-night cravings and relaxed daytime gatherings. Accessible, affordable, and irresistibly local, The Copenhagener is a quintessential Helsingør experience. Whether you’re after a quick pint, a full meal, or simply a laid-back glimpse of Danish life beyond the sightseeing circuit, its doors are open and the welcome genuine.
