Local tips

  • Arrive earlier in the evening if you prefer a seat and a quieter mood; the compact room can become very busy and standing-room-only on Thursday to Saturday nights.
  • Explore beyond the taps and ask the staff for bottled beer recommendations; the selection is broad and they are happy to match styles to your taste.
  • In warmer months, aim for an outdoor table on Møntergade to enjoy people-watching and the atmosphere of Copenhagen’s historic centre with your drink.
  • If you have dietary restrictions such as gluten intolerance, mention this when ordering; staff can point out suitable drink options from the menu.
  • Late closing times make this a practical final stop after dinner or a show; keep an eye on the clock as it is easy to stay later than planned.

A snug hideaway in Copenhagen’s old streets

Trykbar sits on narrow Møntergade in the very heart of Copenhagen, surrounded by cobbled lanes, historic façades and small boutiques. Step inside and the city noise falls away, replaced by low lighting, well-worn wooden furniture and a bar counter lined with bottles. It feels more like a favourite living room than a glossy cocktail lounge, with an informal, slightly bohemian crowd and a come-as-you-are dress code. The room is compact but cleverly arranged, with small tables, a few window seats and stools along the bar. Decorations lean toward urban and slightly retro touches, with posters, warm colours and the odd piece of Americana adding character without tipping into kitsch. It is the kind of bar where you quickly lose track of time, especially on dark winter evenings when candles flicker in the windows.

Beer shelves, strong spirits and simple pleasures

Trykbar is best known for its beer selection, with around ten changing taps and a long list of bottled options covering classic lagers, Danish craft brews, Belgian styles and darker, stronger choices. Staff are happy to talk you through the menu, making it a comfortable place both for beer enthusiasts and for those just after a good, uncomplicated pint. Beyond beer, the back bar holds a generous line-up of rum and whisky, plus the essentials for straightforward long drinks and a few house cocktails. Prices are moderate for the city centre, which makes lingering over a second or third round feel quite manageable. There is no full kitchen; the focus is firmly on drinks and conversation rather than dining, though small bar snacks may appear alongside your glass.

Rhythms of the night in Indre By

Music is always present at Trykbar, forming a steady background of rock, indie or mellow electronic tracks without overpowering the space. Early in the day it can feel almost café-like, with people chatting quietly or reading over a beer. As the evening wears on, especially from Thursday to Saturday, the tempo lifts, voices rise and the bar fills with energy. Thanks to long opening hours that stretch into the early morning, it works both as a first stop before exploring more of Copenhagen’s nightlife and as a final refuge when many other places have closed. Regulars range from local office workers unwinding after a shift to small groups meeting up before a concert, and the mixed crowd gives the room a relaxed, lived-in feel rather than a scene-driven atmosphere.

Street-side seating and seasonal ambience

On milder days, a few outdoor tables spill onto the pavement, turning Trykbar into a people-watching perch. From here you can watch bicycles glide past and feel the gentle hum of the city’s old quarter, drink in hand. In summer the light lingers late, and the boundary between inside and outside blurs as guests drift back and forth. In autumn and winter the bar shows a different side, becoming a snug retreat from rain, wind and early darkness. Candlelight, close-set tables and the soft murmur of conversation create a distinct sense of hygge, especially when you arrive with cold hands and wrap them around a dark, malty beer.

Inclusive, easygoing and central

Trykbar’s atmosphere is notably inclusive: it is a mixed, LGBT-friendly hangout where solo visitors, couples and groups all feel comfortable pulling up a chair. The compact interior means it can get crowded late on weekend nights, but that closeness is also part of its charm, encouraging chance conversations and a sociable mood. Its central location in Indre By makes it an effortless addition to a day spent exploring the city’s museums, shops and historic squares. Whether you drop in for a quiet afternoon drink or settle in for a full evening, the bar offers a dependable slice of Copenhagen nightlife that is more about warmth and good company than about showy cocktails or dress codes.
