- Wear neutral colors if you are unfamiliar with local rivalries; team jerseys are welcome, but the atmosphere stays friendly and informal.

- If you prefer a quieter visit to chat with staff about local sports culture, opt for non‑match evenings or weekday afternoons.

Discover more about Black Wolves
A hometown den for Herning’s sports faithful
Black Wolves sits in a light industrial pocket of Herning, a short distance from the city’s major sports complex, and feels immediately like a home base for committed fans. The name echoes the official FC Midtjylland supporters’ club, also called Black Wolves, whose offices are integrated into nearby MCH Arena, and that shared identity runs through the bar’s decor and mood. Scarlet and black accents, team scarves and framed photos of memorable matches wrap the space in a distinctly local pride. Step inside on a quiet midweek evening and the first impressions are intimate rather than intimidating. It is a single-room bar with a long counter, high tables and scattered seating where regulars greet each other by name. The lighting is warm, the soundtrack a mix of sports commentary and low-key chatter. Even without a match on, the place functions as a neighborhood hangout, anchored in Herning’s deep love for team sports.Game nights charged with Superliga energy
When FC Midtjylland play at MCH Arena or a major football or handball fixture is on television, Black Wolves shifts gears into full match-mode. Multiple large screens tune into Danish Superliga clashes, European competitions and big international tournaments, so there is rarely a bad viewing angle. Jerseys, flags and the club’s wolf imagery turn the bar into an extension of the stands, especially on derby days against regional rivals. The collective rhythm of pre‑match buzz, halftime analysis and post‑match debrief is part of the appeal. Fans dissect tactics over draft beer, react in unison to close calls, and occasionally break into chants borrowed straight from the terraces. The atmosphere is animated but good-natured, with an emphasis on camaraderie rather than hostility, making it approachable even if you are neutral or new to Danish football.Simple drinks, sociable setting
Black Wolves keeps its offer straightforward: expect a rotating selection of beers on tap and in bottles, basic spirits and soft drinks rather than elaborate cocktails. Pricing is moderate for Denmark, suited to watching a full evening of sport without breaking the bank. On busy nights there may be light bar snacks or easy comfort food, but the focus remains squarely on the screens and the social aspect rather than dining. Seating is a practical mix of bar stools and small tables, chosen to keep sightlines clear when everyone turns toward a decisive penalty or last‑minute equaliser. Despite the focus on sport, the bar also functions as a relaxed spot to catch up with friends, especially outside peak fixture times. The staff tend to be enthusiasts themselves, happy to explain local rivalries, league formats or why the Black Wolves identity matters so much in this part of Jutland.Part of Herning’s wider fan culture
Herning’s sporting life is unusually dense for a city of its size, from top‑flight football at MCH Arena to strong traditions in ice hockey and handball. Black Wolves sits within this ecosystem as a social bridge between stadium and city. Before kick‑off, fans use it as a rendezvous, and after the final whistle it becomes a place to either celebrate or process defeat under the same roof. Even if you are not following a specific team, spending an evening here offers an authentic glimpse into how central sport is to local identity. Without needing a ticket, you can experience some of the same communal highs and lows that play out a short distance away on the pitch, framed by banners, scarves and the hum of conversation in Danish and English.Planning your visit
Black Wolves is most engaging when there is a major match on, especially FC Midtjylland home games and international tournaments, when space fills quickly and standing room becomes part of the experience. On those days, arriving early improves the chances of a good spot near a screen and keeps queueing at the bar manageable. On non‑match days it is quieter, making it easier to chat with staff or regulars about local teams and upcoming fixtures. The setting on Kaj Zartows Vej means you are close to the city’s exhibition and stadium district rather than the pedestrianised centre, so it naturally lends itself to combining with a live game or event. There is typically decent mobile coverage, and amenities like restrooms and seating are on site, but this is a straightforward neighborhood sports bar rather than a multi‑room venue. Expect an informal, welcoming den where Herning’s sporting heart beats loudest on game nights.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
