Marinestuen
Characterful sailor-style bar in central Nykøbing Falster, serving inexpensive drinks in a cozy, maritime setting filled with ships, memorabilia and local charm.
Marinestuen is a small, old-school sailor-style bar tucked into Store Kirkestræde in the heart of Nykøbing Falster. Billed as the town’s oldest daytime pub, it’s packed with maritime memorabilia, dark wood, model ships and a full-size captain at the helm by the entrance. This is a casual neighborhood haunt for inexpensive beers, close-up conversation and a distinctly nautical atmosphere rather than cocktails or nightlife glitz.

An old sailor’s refuge in central Nykøbing
Marinestuen sits just off the main streets of Nykøbing Falster, a compact bar that has long served as one of the town’s classic watering holes. It is described locally as the city’s oldest daytime pub, a place where the doors open at noon and the rhythm of the day is measured in quiet rounds of beer rather than loud music or flashing lights. The low-key location in Store Kirkestræde makes it feel like a tucked-away refuge for regulars and curious visitors alike. Inside, the space is split over two levels, divided by a short flight of steps. The bar counter occupies the upper level, while most of the seating spreads out on the lower floor, with guests looking up toward the serving area. This simple split gives the small room a surprising sense of depth and character, and it also means you can survey the whole place from a stool at the bar or settle into a more secluded table below.Nautical decor and nostalgic details
Marinestuen fully leans into its maritime theme. The walls are heavily decorated with paintings and photographs of ships, along with portraits of the Danish royal family and rows of commemorative plates. By the entrance, a life-sized figure of a captain stands at the wheel, setting the tone before you even sit down. The interior feels more like a compact seamen’s club than a modern bar. Wooden furnishings, cozy nooks and low ceilings add to the traditional tavern feel. Lighting is generally subdued, which suits the dark wood tones and the layers of nautical curiosities. It is a place where you are more likely to notice the details of an old ship portrait or a brass fitting than any trend-led design touches. The decor tells the story of a bar that has evolved slowly, keeping its character instead of chasing fashions.What to drink and how it works
Drinks at Marinestuen center on beer and simple spirits rather than an elaborate cocktail list. Expect standard Danish lagers on tap or in bottles, plus a straightforward selection of shots and soft drinks. Prices are typically on the low to moderate side for Denmark, underlining the bar’s identity as an everyday local rather than a high-end venue. Payments are usually taken in cash or via common Danish mobile payment solutions, so it is wise to have one of these options ready. Food is not the focus here; Marinestuen is best thought of as a place to sit with a drink, talk and soak up the atmosphere rather than somewhere for a full meal. The pace is unhurried, and many guests linger over several rounds.Atmosphere, crowd and rhythm of the day
From noon through the afternoon, the ambience tends to be relaxed and conversational. It functions much like a classic daytime tavern, where locals drop in for a quiet beer and a chat. Because the space is relatively small and tables are set close together, conversations easily mingle, and it is easy to strike up contact with people nearby if you feel like talking. Later in the evening, especially on Fridays and Saturdays when closing time extends into the early hours, the energy can become livelier and more boisterous, though the scale of the bar keeps things intimate. Music is usually background to conversations rather than a dominant feature. Despite the maritime theme, the vibe is informal and down-to-earth rather than theatrical.Who will enjoy Marinestuen
Marinestuen is most appealing if you enjoy traditional pubs with a strong sense of place. It suits couples or solo travelers who like to sit at the bar and engage with the bartender, groups of friends looking for an authentic, inexpensive pre- or post-dinner drink, and anyone curious about local Danish bar culture in a small town setting. The nautical decor also makes it a fun spot for an atmospheric photo or two, though it remains, at heart, a locals’ bar rather than a themed attraction. There are no elaborate entertainment features or staged experiences; the charm lies in the details, the maritime memorabilia and the easygoing social scene. If you prefer sleek cocktail lounges or high-energy nightclubs, this may feel too quiet or old-fashioned. But if you enjoy characterful taverns that speak to the history and everyday life of a town, Marinestuen is a rewarding stop in Nykøbing Falster.Practical considerations for a visit
Opening hours generally run from midday until around midnight early in the week, extending to approximately 2 am on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The bar is typically closed on Sundays, making it very much a weekday and weekend-evening institution. The compact interior means seating can fill up on busy nights, so be prepared to stand at the bar if all tables are taken. Because it is located in the historical center, it can easily be combined with a stroll through Nykøbing Falster’s streets, nearby shops and eateries. Mobile reception in the area is strong, and the bar environment is straightforward and informal. Plan for at least an hour to take in the setting, with two to three hours if you settle into conversation and let the nautical ambience work its quiet charm.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
