Discover more about Den Engelske Pub - You'll Never Walk Alone
A British Institution in the Heart of Kolding
Den Engelske Pub has anchored central Kolding since December 1990, establishing itself as one of Denmark's most distinctive watering holes. Located within A.L. Passagen—a charming covered passage in the city center—the pub occupies a unique position as both a cultural landmark and a living gathering place. Its name, "You'll Never Walk Alone," signals an unwavering connection to football culture and the values of community that define the space. Over three decades, the pub has evolved from a simple bar into a multifaceted venue that serves as a social hub, concert stage, and pilgrimage site for beer enthusiasts and sports fans.Football Memorabilia and Sporting Heritage
The interior walls and ceiling tell stories through an impressive collection of football artifacts. Match-worn shirts, vintage memorabilia, and iconic imagery from legendary matches create an immersive environment for sports enthusiasts. Liverpool FC holds particular prominence in the décor, reflecting the pub's deep connection to global football culture. The atmosphere intensifies during major sporting events, when the space transforms into a vibrant celebration of international football, with screens broadcasting matches and crowds creating an electric energy that fills every corner.An Unparalleled Whisky and Beer Selection
Den Engelske Pub distinguishes itself through its extraordinary collection of spirits and ales. The whisky menu features over 250 selections spanning all regions, styles, and types—from core range bottlings of established distilleries to rare single cask releases from specialist independent bottlers. Prices range from approximately 35 Danish kroner for entry-level drams to significantly higher amounts for premium selections. The beer program is equally impressive, with over 20 craft beers on tap that rotate weekly, ensuring returning visitors always discover something new. The pub stocks over 200 specialty beers in total, many imported directly through the owner's personal travels and connections. Classic English ales, craft selections, and imported ciders provide alternatives to standard Danish brews, creating a genuinely international drinking experience.Food, Atmosphere, and Community
The kitchen serves hearty, wholesome pub fare designed for sharing and enjoyment alongside drinks. The menu includes gourmet sandwiches, wraps, burgers, jacket potatoes, finger foods, and small plates—all crafted with quality ingredients and reasonable pricing. Nachos with homemade salsa and garlic mayonnaise, grilled beef burgers, and chicken-based dishes reflect classic pub traditions. The atmosphere shifts throughout the day: quiet and contemplative during afternoons, transforming into a lively, music-filled social space during evenings and weekends. Live music events occur regularly, building a loyal local following and creating memorable nights that extend beyond typical pub experiences.Design and Social Character
The interior blends British pub aesthetics with Scandinavian warmth and practicality. Football memorabilia, vintage décor, and carefully curated details create an authentic British atmosphere without pretension. The covered passage location provides a distinctive urban setting—sheltered yet connected to the vibrant city center. Free Wi-Fi and reliable connectivity make the space appealing to digital nomads and those seeking a comfortable afternoon retreat. The pub's accessibility features, including step-free entry, ensure welcoming access for visitors with varying mobility needs. Despite its British theming, the hospitality remains unmistakably Danish: friendly, unpretentious, and genuinely welcoming to newcomers and regulars alike.Events and Private Functions
Beyond its role as a public bar, Den Engelske Pub offers three distinct private function rooms available for hire. These spaces accommodate celebrations, corporate gatherings, and special occasions, each equipped with dedicated bar service and bartender support. The pub's reputation for quality hospitality and atmospheric settings makes it a preferred venue for memorable events. The owner, Torben Mathews, has also curated a World Cup Museum collection featuring artifacts from all 22 FIFA World Cup tournaments held to date, including vintage jerseys, newspapers, books, and autographs—a testament to the pub's deep engagement with football heritage.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
