Authentic Irish Heart in Slagelse

Tucked into the bustling Fisketorvet square, The Old Pub captures the essence of an Irish local with its dark wood paneling, glowing lanterns, and shelves lined with whiskey bottles from across the Emerald Isle. The air carries hints of hops and peat smoke, drawing you into a space where time slows amid the chatter and clink of glasses. This venue stands as a Slagelse staple, blending Danish hospitality with Celtic charm in a pedestrian-friendly heart of town.

Live Music that Ignites the Night

From Thursday evenings through the weekend, the stage comes alive with local bands strumming guitars and fiddles, filling the room with foot-stomping folk tunes and rock anthems. The intimate setup lets you feel every beat, whether perched at the bar or squeezed into a corner booth. These performances create the pub's rhythmic pulse, turning ordinary nights into memorable gatherings where strangers become sing-along partners.

Craft Drinks and Hearty Pours

Behind the polished bar, bartenders pour from a lineup of Danish crafts, Irish stouts, and international whiskeys, alongside creative cocktails that nod to pub classics. Expect generous measures of frothy pints and smooth spirits, paired with simple bar bites like loaded fries or cheese platters during events. The drink menu evolves with seasonal specials, keeping regulars returning for that perfect sip.

Events Tailored for Celebration

The Old Pub hosts polterabends with games and flowing drinks, julefrokost buffets laden with Danish holiday fare, and casual trivia nights under big screens broadcasting sports.
