Sir Henry Bodega, Ebeltoft
Unpretentious Danish bar in Ebeltoft’s cobbled old town, pouring local beers and classic drinks in a cozy, lived-in setting from morning till late.
Tucked into the cobbled streets of Ebeltoft’s old town, Sir Henry Bodega is a classic Danish bar where wood-paneled interiors, low-key lighting and a long, well-stocked counter set the scene for unhurried drinks. Open from late morning into the evening (and later on weekends), it pours everything from local Danish beers to familiar international spirits and cocktails. It is as much a neighborhood living room as a bar, attracting a mix of locals, regulars and curious visitors exploring the historic center.

Discover more about Sir Henry Bodega
A cozy bar in Ebeltoft’s historic heart
Sir Henry Bodega sits on Nedergade, one of Ebeltoft’s characterful streets, lined with traditional houses and cobbles that hint at the town’s long maritime past. Step inside and you move from bright, seaside light into a dimmer, warmly lit room where wood and worn surfaces instantly feel familiar. This is not a flashy cocktail lounge, but a straightforward Danish bodega: part pub, part community hangout, firmly rooted in its small-town surroundings. The bar’s footprint is compact, which adds to its intimate feel. Tables are set close enough for easy conversation, and the counter becomes a natural gathering point, especially in the evenings. On quieter afternoons it can feel almost like a private living room, with occasional sunlight cutting in through the street-facing windows and the murmur of the old town just outside.Drinks that span local brews and classic pours
Sir Henry Bodega is first and foremost about drinks, with a selection that covers both Danish and international tastes. You can expect local beers on tap or in bottles, often from regional breweries in Jutland, alongside mainstream lagers and darker styles for those who prefer something familiar. For many visitors, trying a Danish beer here becomes part of the Ebeltoft experience, especially after a day spent exploring the harbor or the historic frigate. Beyond beer, the back bar carries the usual range of spirits, from aquavit and schnapps to gin, rum and whisky. Simple mixed drinks and classic cocktails are available, the kind that suit an unpretentious setting: long drinks, highballs and spirit-forward standards rather than elaborate showpieces. Soft drinks and non-alcoholic options keep the atmosphere inclusive, so mixed groups can settle in without everyone needing to order alcohol.Everyday rhythms from morning to late evening
Opening hours from late morning into the night mean the mood at Sir Henry Bodega shifts through the day. Early in the day, when the doors first open, it can be a quiet refuge: a place to sit with a drink, watch the street outside and plan the rest of your time in Ebeltoft. As afternoon rolls on, more locals drift in, and the bar begins to hum with conversation, card games or casual chats at the counter. On Fridays and Saturdays, extended hours give the place a more energetic edge. It becomes a natural stop for people rounding off dinner in the old town or meeting friends for a final nightcap. Music is typically background rather than overpowering, leaving space for conversation. That balance between energy and comfort is part of what anchors the bar in local routine as much as in the town’s visitor scene.Local color and small-town character
A visit to Sir Henry Bodega offers a glimpse into everyday life in Ebeltoft beyond the museums and waterfront sights. Regulars often occupy favoured seats, and it is common to hear a mix of Danish and other languages as visitors pass through. The bar’s straightforward décor—practical tables, bar stools, framed pieces and perhaps a touch of maritime or pub-style memorabilia—adds to its down-to-earth charm. Because Ebeltoft is compact, the bar naturally draws people involved in local businesses, seasonal workers and residents from nearby streets. That mix gives the room a lived-in quality: you are stepping into a space that exists year-round, not just for the peak holiday weeks. For many travelers, that authenticity is part of the appeal, offering a counterpoint to more polished coastal venues.Relaxed evenings in a walkable old town
Ebeltoft’s historic center is entirely walkable, and Sir Henry Bodega fits neatly into an evening spent wandering its lanes. Its modest size means it rarely feels anonymous; after a short while, you start to recognize faces and rhythms. The bar lends itself to unhurried evenings: one drink can easily stretch into two as conversation flows and the outside world narrows to the glow of the bar and the sound of glasses on wood. There is no dress code or ceremony here—casual clothing, relaxed manners and a friendly greeting at the bar are all that is required. Whether you sit by the window watching the old town wind down, or stand at the counter trading stories with locals, Sir Henry Bodega offers a simple, genuine slice of Danish bar culture in one of Jutland’s most atmospheric small towns.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
