Discover more about The Upper Hill
A lively Irish-inspired pub in the heart of Slagelse
The Upper Hill sits just off Fisketorvet in central Slagelse, styled as a welcoming Irish-inspired pub that quickly feels like a local living room. Inside, you step into a warm world of dark wood, rustic details and soft lighting, punctuated by chalkboards listing beers, cocktails and specials. It is the sort of place where the bar counter becomes the natural meeting point, with bar stools lined up for regulars and visitors alike. The layout balances intimate corners with open seating, making it easy to find a quiet table for conversation or a front-row spot near the bar when the evening energy builds. Large windows toward the square bring in daylight during early hours, while the interior lighting takes over as the night progresses, giving the room a snug, pubby glow.Beers, cocktails and hearty pub favourites
True to its pub roots, The Upper Hill focuses strongly on drinks. A wide selection of draught and bottled beers includes familiar international names alongside specialty brews, while the bar’s cocktail list leans heavily into gin, with multiple serves and garnishes to choose from. Wine, ciders and classic long drinks round out the card, so mixed groups can each find something that suits their taste. The kitchen serves substantial pub dishes designed to pair with a pint. Burgers with generous toppings, fish and chips, salads and other crowd-pleasing plates appear on the menu, often in portions large enough to keep you going through a match or a night of live music. It is a practical option if you want one place for both dinner and drinks rather than moving on to a separate restaurant later.Sports, live music and a social atmosphere
One of the defining features here is its role as a social hub for sports and music. Big screens show major football fixtures and other key events, turning match nights into noisy, good-natured gatherings. Tables fill early when important games are on, and the sound of commentary mixes with cheers and groans from fans following every chance and tackle. Beyond sports, The Upper Hill also hosts live music. The cellar venue provides a more intimate setting for pop, rock, blues and other genres, with the vaulted, tucked-away feel enhancing the sense of being at a neighborhood gig rather than a large concert. On summer days, music occasionally spills outdoors with jazz sessions on Fisketorvet, extending the pub’s atmosphere out into the square.From daytime café feel to late-night bar
During the day, especially on weekends, the pub can feel almost café-like, with sunlight, coffee, lighter drinks and relaxed conversations sharing space with early beers. As afternoon turns into evening, the tone gradually shifts: lights dim slightly, music becomes more prominent and more guests arrive specifically for drinks, sports and social time. Later on Fridays and Saturdays, the bar can run until the early hours, and the space leans fully into its late-night personality. The mix of regulars, students and visitors gives it a casual, unpretentious mood, where people come as they are rather than dress up for a night out.Outdoor tables and seasonal experiences
In warmer months, outdoor tables on Fisketorvet give you a front-row seat to everyday life in Slagelse. You can sit with a beer or cocktail while watching people cross the square, listen to occasional street sounds and enjoy the longer northern evenings. When outdoor jazz events take place, this area turns into an open-air extension of the pub. Across the year, the interior decor quietly adapts to seasons and major events, from festive touches during winter to sports-themed details during big tournaments. Combined with its central location and flexible opening hours, this makes The Upper Hill an easy choice whether you are dropping in for a single drink or planning it as the main anchor of your evening out in Slagelse.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
