Local tips

Choose your floor based on mood: ground floor for authentic Irish music and traditional pub atmosphere, second floor for contemporary pop, third floor for electronic and dance music. Each level maintains its own distinct character.
The outdoor seating area provides a quieter alternative with views of the surrounding square—ideal for conversation or a more relaxed dining experience away from the interior noise.
Take advantage of the late-night hours (open until 5 AM weekdays, 6 AM weekends) for authentic post-dinner or post-club dining when other venues have closed.
The beef stewed in beer is a signature comfort dish that exemplifies the kitchen's hearty approach—substantial, flavorful, and excellent value for the portion size.
Arrive with a flexible group mindset: the venue's size and multi-floor layout make it perfect for larger parties that might split across different areas based on musical preference.

A Three-Tier Musical Journey

The Old Irish Pub stands as Odense's most distinctive multi-purpose entertainment destination, spread across three distinct floors, each with its own sonic identity. The ground floor pulses with live Irish musicians performing traditional and contemporary Celtic music, creating an authentic pub atmosphere where patrons can enjoy classic Irish hospitality. The second floor shifts the mood with modern pop and contemporary hits, catering to those seeking a more upbeat, radio-friendly soundtrack. The third floor transforms the experience entirely with electronic and dance music, appealing to late-night revelers and club enthusiasts. This architectural separation allows visitors to choose their preferred ambiance without leaving the venue, making it uniquely adaptable to different moods and group preferences.

Food and Beverage Excellence

Beyond its musical offerings, the pub delivers substantial food and drink experiences. The kitchen prepares hearty, satisfying meals at reasonable prices—beef stewed in beer with vegetables and mushrooms exemplifies the comfort-food approach, served at approximately 16 euros. The beverage selection is notably comprehensive, featuring an extensive range of beers and ciders that extend well beyond typical pub offerings. Staff demonstrate genuine hospitality and accommodation, taking time to ensure guests feel welcomed and their orders are prepared with care. The outdoor seating area overlooks a charming small square in the historic center, providing an inviting alternative to the bustling interior.

A Late-Night Cultural Hub

The Old Irish Pub distinguishes itself through its commitment to late-night accessibility in a city where evening entertainment options are limited. Operating until 5 AM on weekdays and 6 AM on weekends, it serves as a reliable destination for those seeking food, drinks, and music during unconventional hours. This extended availability has made it an essential gathering point for night owls, shift workers, and international visitors accustomed to European nightlife culture. The venue's scale—described as massive—accommodates large groups without feeling cramped, and the three-floor layout ensures that different sections maintain their own character and energy levels regardless of overall crowd size.
