- For the full party experience, plan your visit for Friday or Saturday late evening, when DJs, dancing and themed events are most likely.
- Arrive earlier in the night if you prefer easier access to the bar, more seating and a chance to talk before the music gets louder.
- Keep some cashless payment options handy, as contactless card payments are the norm in Danish bars for both drinks and cloakroom services.
- Check current opening hours and any special event nights in advance, as schedules can change between standard evenings and big party dates.
- If you are sensitive to loud music, bring earplugs for late-night peak times when the sound system is at its most powerful.

Discover more about The Old Irish Pub
Irish spirit in the middle of Randers
The Old Irish Pub sits on a central corner of Storegade, its green signage and wooden frontage immediately signalling Irish inspiration in the midst of Randers’ compact city centre. Step inside and the light drops to a warm glow: dark timber, high tables, upholstered benches and a long bar lined with taps give it the feel of a traditional pub transplanted from Dublin to East Jutland. Framed pictures, beer branding and Irish motifs on the walls add to the impression of a place built for lingering over a drink and conversation. The layout is designed for groups as much as for couples or solo guests. Near the entrance, smaller tables and barstools suit a quick pint, while deeper inside the pub the space opens up into zones that can absorb large groups on busy nights. Wooden floors and a slightly worn-in feel keep the ambience relaxed rather than formal, even when the sound system is turned up for the late-night crowd.From early drinks to late-night dance floor
As evening begins, the Old Irish Pub tends to function like a classic bar: sports on screens, low to mid-level music and a focus on pints, cocktails and whiskey. Later, particularly on Fridays and Saturdays, the mood shifts decisively toward nightclub territory. A DJ booth and dance floor area transform the back of the venue into a place for chart hits, sing-along rock and pop anthems, and the kind of tracks that fill a floor quickly. Lighting moves from muted gold to coloured beams and spot effects, and the sound ramps up so the bar becomes one of the liveliest addresses in Randers at night. Theme evenings, party concepts and event nights vary across the year, but the constant is an atmosphere that encourages dancing, singing along to choruses and making a night of it.Beer taps, whiskey shelves and cocktails
Behind the long bar, rows of taps showcase a range of beers, typically including Irish and international brands alongside Danish favourites. For many guests, a pint of stout or lager is the obvious starting point, but there is also a broad choice of spirits, with whiskeys and popular long drinks in steady demand. Classic mixed drinks and simple cocktails are positioned as easygoing options rather than elaborate mixology. Prices sit in the moderate range for a Danish regional city, making it accessible for an unplanned night out as well as birthdays or celebrations. Bar staff are used to explaining choices and suggesting alternatives, so even visitors unfamiliar with Irish pub culture can navigate the list comfortably. Soft drinks and non-alcoholic options are available for designated drivers or those pacing themselves through a long evening.Music, big screens and social energy
Screens positioned around the bar often show football and other major sporting events, turning parts of the pub into a fan hangout during big matches. On non-sport evenings, the visual focus is more on lighting effects and the ebb and flow of the crowd. Sound is central to the identity of the place: from background playlists early on to high-energy DJ sets and sing-along tracks later at night. The design deliberately favours interaction: standing areas around the bar, tall tables to gather around with drinks, and a dance floor that naturally becomes the focal point once the music takes over. It is a space well suited to groups of friends starting or ending a night out in Randers, but it can also work as a post-dinner stop for couples looking for a more animated atmosphere.Weekends, late hours and who it suits
The Old Irish Pub is most active on weekends, when late opening hours make it one of the last places still going in the early morning. On these nights the crowd skews toward adults and younger adults keen on dancing, socialising and enjoying a party mood rather than a quiet drink. Weeknights, when open, can feel more like a regular bar, with more space, easier conversation and a calmer soundtrack. The venue is firmly an indoor experience, with no dependence on weather and a consistent atmosphere year-round. It fits naturally into a Randers evening that might start with dinner nearby and then move on here for drinks, music and dancing. For travellers, it offers a straightforward way to experience local nightlife with a familiar Irish-pub twist, right in the middle of town.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
