Klap Hesten, Klintholm Havn
Cosy seaman’s bar in a former iceworks on Møn’s Klintholm Havn, blending harbour views, candlelit ambience and well-crafted drinks just steps from the Baltic Sea.
Klap Hesten is a characterful seaman’s bar set in the former iceworks on the pier at Klintholm Havn on Møn. Inside, flickering candlelight, maritime memorabilia and a crackling wood stove create a cosy, slightly bohemian atmosphere, while outside you are just steps from the harbour basin and the scent of the Baltic Sea. Expect draught beer, classic and locally inspired cocktails, simple bar food and an informal, welcoming mood that feels equally suited to salty old seadogs and curious travellers.

Local tips
- Aim for late afternoon or early evening to see the light change over the harbour while you enjoy a first drink before dinner elsewhere in Klintholm Havn.
- Bring a warm layer, even in summer; the terrace can feel breezy by the water, and you may want to move between outside tables and the wood-stove interior.
- If you prefer quieter moments, avoid peak Friday and Saturday evening hours when the bar is most lively and seats by the windows are in highest demand.
- Keep an eye on seasonal opening times; hours can vary outside the main summer months, so check the latest schedule before planning a late-night visit.
- Combine a visit with a walk along the harbour or a trip to Møns Klint earlier in the day to make Klap Hesten your relaxed end-of-day stop.

Harbour Bar in an Old Iceworks
Klap Hesten sits directly on the pier in the old iceworks of Klintholm Havn, once part of the practical infrastructure that kept local fishing boats supplied. Today the industrial shell has been transformed into a warm, intimate bar that still feels closely tied to the working harbour outside. Thick walls and big doors hint at its former life, but inside you are met with low light, wood, and the hum of conversation rather than machinery. From the terrace you look straight onto the harbour, with yachts and fishing boats shifting gently in their moorings. The smell of salt, tar and seaweed drifts in on the breeze, reminding you that this is first and foremost a maritime place. The bar embraces this setting rather than hiding it, making the sea and the pier part of the experience.Atmosphere of Sailors, Stories and Candlelight
Step inside and the mood changes from open harbour to a snug, den-like interior. Candles flicker on tables, the wood stove crackles on cooler evenings, and maritime artefacts line the walls. The music is kept at a level where conversations can weave across the room, and it is easy to imagine fishermen, yacht crews and locals trading stories after a day on the water. The lighting is intentionally soft, with pools of golden light catching on glassware and brass details. Corners feel intimate, while the bar counter has the buzz of a small stage where drinks are mixed and jokes are exchanged. It is casual and unpretentious, yet with enough theatrical flair to make an evening here feel like a small event in itself.Drinks with a Local, Nautical Twist
Klap Hesten focuses on drinks rather than elaborate dining, with a selection of draught beers, bottled options and a considered list of cocktails. Classic recipes share space with creations that nod to the island of Møn and to seafaring traditions, often using Nordic spirits or local ingredients where possible. Bubbles, long drinks and simple, well-chosen wines round out the menu. Alongside the drinks, you can usually get light bar food such as sandwiches and simple snacks, enough to keep you anchored while you explore the list. The emphasis is on flavour and conviviality rather than formality, making it easy to drop in after a walk along the cliffs, a day at the beach or an afternoon sail.Meeting Point for Harbour Life
Because of its position on the pier, the bar naturally becomes a social hub when the harbour is busy. Yacht crews wander up from the pontoons, locals arrive on foot or bicycle from nearby holiday houses, and day trippers from across Møn drift in as the afternoon light softens. On bright days the life spills outside, with people leaning on railings or gathering around outdoor tables to watch the harbour slowly quieten as evening draws in. In cooler months the action moves indoors, where the stove and candles turn the former iceworks into a kind of living room for the harbour. The sense of time softens; you may intend to stop for a single drink and find yourself still here as the evening deepens, listening to the wind outside and the clink of glasses inside.Seasonal Rhythms and Coastal Weather
The experience of Klap Hesten changes with the weather and the season. On clear summer evenings you might arrive in lingering northern light, with the sky glowing above the masts and the bar doors thrown open to the pier. On grey, windy days the interior becomes a refuge, the stormier the better, as you warm your hands on a glass and watch the harbour through rain-streaked windows. Because it is closely tied to harbour life, there is an easy-going flexibility to the pace of things. Some days feel languid and sun-drenched, others more dramatic and windswept, but the core remains the same: a welcoming bar in a distinctive maritime building, offering good drinks, a strong sense of place and the gentle theatre of a working harbour as your backdrop.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
