Discover more about Roxy Malt
An Irish-Style Pub in the Heart of Silkeborg
Roxy Malt sits just off Silkeborg’s main shopping streets, an Irish-inspired pub wrapped in dark wood, warm lighting and old-school bar charm. Step inside and you move from a quiet Danish town centre into an intimate room of polished counters, high tables and upholstered nooks that invite unhurried conversation. The long bar is the visual anchor, lined with taps and bottles, while scattered vintage details and posters add a touch of nostalgia. Although the pub nods to classic Irish bars, the atmosphere is distinctly local. You’ll hear Danish, English and a mix of regional accents carried over the background music, with groups drifting between the bar, the dance area and the courtyard as the evening unfolds.Live Music, Pub Quizzes and Late-Night Energy
Entertainment is central to Roxy Malt’s character. Weekly events often include pub quizzes, bingo-style games and, on many Friday evenings, live music sessions that turn the intimate interior into a small concert venue. Bands and solo performers cover a wide range of genres, but the focus is on songs people recognise and can sing along to, echoing the easy-going spirit of an Irish pub. As the night progresses, the mood ramps up. The dance floor fills to familiar hits, while others linger near the bar or in quieter corners. On weekends, the bar keeps late hours, making it one of the places where Silkeborg’s night stretches into the early morning.Courtyard Corners and Cosy Details
One of Roxy Malt’s most distinctive features is its courtyard, tucked away from the street. When the weather cooperates, this sheltered outdoor space becomes an extension of the bar, with strings of light and the murmur of conversation creating a relaxed, almost hidden-garden feel in the middle of town. It’s a pleasant contrast to the busier interior, ideal for catching a breather between sets or enjoying a quieter drink. Inside, the design balances retro charm with comfort. Low, warm lighting and closely spaced tables emphasise intimacy, while a dedicated smoking area is arranged so smoke does not dominate the main bar. The result is a space that can feel both lively and contained, depending on where you settle.Drinks, Whiskies and Light Bites
Roxy Malt’s bar leans into speciality beers, Irish and international whiskies and a set of approachable cocktails. Draught beers typically include both mainstream and Danish craft options, giving you a chance to sample local brewing alongside familiar favourites. Whiskey fans can usually choose from a small but thoughtful selection, often highlighted on chalkboards or menus. The focus here is firmly on drinks rather than full meals, but simple bar snacks help keep the evening going. On busy nights, the combination of music, conversation and well-poured drinks makes it easy to stay longer than planned, whether you are starting the night here or using it as the final stop.Who Will Enjoy Roxy Malt
Roxy Malt is designed with adults in mind, particularly those who appreciate a social pub atmosphere with structured events like quizzes, live music and big-screen sports rather than a high-intensity nightclub. It works equally well for groups of friends, colleagues celebrating the end of the week, or solo travellers who enjoy striking up conversation at the bar. The moderate prices and central location make it an accessible choice for an evening out in Silkeborg, especially if you are curious about local nightlife beyond restaurants and cafés. For visitors, it offers a straightforward way to experience Danish bar culture wrapped in Irish pub aesthetics.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
