Local tips
- Arrive earlier in the evening if you want a table for food before the pub fills up for late‑night drinks, especially on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
- Look out for drink offers such as pitchers, gin and tonics or Irish coffee specials if you are in a group and plan to stay for a few rounds.
- If you prefer a quieter visit with kids or older travellers, aim for lunchtime or mid‑afternoon when the music is lower and the crowd is thinner.
- The kitchen focuses on hearty comfort food like burgers and fish and chips—ideal if you want something filling rather than refined or experimental.
- On big match days, screens and fans create a busy atmosphere; come well before kick‑off if you want a good view of the TVs.

An Irish corner on Fisketorvet
Ryan’s of Odense brings a slice of Irish pub culture to the quayside at Fisketorvet 12, a short stroll from Odense’s central shopping streets and historic lanes. Step through the doors and you move from Danish cobblestones into a warmly lit barroom of dark wood, beer taps and framed memorabilia. It feels purpose-built for unhurried pints, big matches on TV and long conversations. The layout balances bar energy and sit-down comfort. High tables and bar stools line the counter, while more traditional tables and booths invite you to settle in with a burger or a plate of fish and chips. On weekday afternoons it doubles as an easygoing lunch spot, before slowly shifting into a busier pub atmosphere as evening wears on.Pub classics from brunch to late dinner
The kitchen at Ryan’s focuses on familiar, filling pub food with a few Irish and British accents. Daytime often starts with brunch-style plates such as full English-inspired breakfasts, eggs with bacon and sourdough, or loaded hangover-curing baskets piled with fries, cheese sauce, sausage and bacon. Later in the day the all‑day menu takes over, centring on burgers, fish ’n’ chips and other straightforward mains designed to match a cold beer. Burgers come stacked in soft brioche, with melted cheese and house-made dressings, while the fish and chips plate typically pairs fried fish with crispy fries and tartar sauce. Portions skew generous rather than delicate, and it is the kind of food you can share with a group over a jug of beer or a round of Irish coffees. For many guests the meal is as much a prelude to the evening’s drinks as a standalone restaurant visit.Beers, whiskies and late‑night sessions
What really defines Ryan’s is the bar. Taps pour a mix of Danish brews and Irish‑style beers, with classic lagers, stouts and local favourites served in pints, half‑pints or pitchers for groups. Behind the bar a line of whiskey bottles glows in the backlight, from approachable Irish labels to a wider international selection, alongside gins and spirits for long drinks. There are often simple drinks offers, from gin and tonics to Irish coffees and beer pitchers at set prices, which help make a long evening more affordable. Televisions tuned to big football or rugby fixtures can turn the room into a small grandstand, and as the night deepens, especially on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, closing times stretch towards the early morning hours, keeping the bar lively long after nearby cafés shut.Central meeting place in Odense C
Thanks to its location in Odense C, Ryan’s works as a convenient rendezvous point. Shoppers, office workers and students use it for easy lunches; later, colleagues meet for after‑work drinks before moving on, or simply staying put as the atmosphere ramps up. The long opening hours—starting late morning and running to midnight on early‑week days, then later into the night towards the weekend—mean it fits many different plans. Inside, the mood leans informal and unpretentious. Expect background music, the murmur of multiple languages, and an age range that runs from students to older regulars. It is a social, extrovert sort of place: somewhere to talk, watch sport, and be around people rather than seek quiet reflection. Yet earlier in the day, before the evening rush, it can feel surprisingly relaxed for a solo lunch or a mid‑afternoon coffee.Who will enjoy Ryan’s of Odense
Ryan’s appeals most to travellers looking for a familiar pub setting in the centre of town. If you like the combination of hearty, straightforward food and a broad beer selection, it is an easy choice, especially if you are exploring Odense’s sights and want a casual, English‑friendly place to refuel. Groups of friends will appreciate the pitchers, sports screens and late closing times, while families can find convenient lunchtime options when the atmosphere is calmer. Those seeking fine dining or experimental cuisine will not find it here, but for many visitors that is the point: Ryan’s offers a predictable, comfortable pub experience with a Danish‑Irish accent, right where riverside paths and central streets meet.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
