Local tips
- Come earlier in the evening if you prefer a quieter pub feel; it becomes louder and more bar-like around and after midnight on weekends.
- Ask the bartender for whisky suggestions; the selection is broad, and staff are used to guiding guests to something new beyond the big names.
- Combine a visit with a stroll along Holstebro’s pedestrian streets and public art installations, since the pub sits just off the main shopping zone.
- On major football nights, arrive well before kick-off to secure a good seat with a clear view of the screens.

A Scottish Pub Heart in a Danish Market Town
Fox and Hounds sits on Nørregade in the compact centre of Holstebro, one of western Jutland’s most cultural towns. Step through the door and you leave the pedestrian streets for a slice of Scotland: dark timber, framed whisky labels, beer mirrors and low lighting wrap the room in that familiar pub warmth. The concept began here in Holstebro in the early 1990s and has since grown to a small family of Scottish-style pubs around Jutland, but this is the original home of the brand. The pub’s name and logo, a fox and a dog by a fireside, capture the mood: friendly, slightly rustic and built around long evenings over a pint. It is as much a social living room for locals as it is a curiosity for visitors exploring Holstebro’s art-lined streets.Beers, Whiskies and Classic Pub Comforts
Behind the long wooden bar, rows of taps and bottles showcase the main attraction. Fox and Hounds focuses on imported European beers and a generous whisky collection, mixing big Scottish names with rotating specialities. Guinness on tap is a point of pride, sitting alongside continental lagers, local Danish brews and stronger ales. The kitchen adds a casual dining layer to the experience. The menu leans into pub staples: burgers, hearty meat dishes, sharing plates and snacks designed to match a cold beer. Lunch and dinner are both possible, so you can treat the pub either as a relaxed restaurant or as a pre-theatre stop before Holstebro’s cultural venues.Atmosphere from Afternoon to After Midnight
Arrive early in the day and Fox and Hounds feels almost lounge-like, with quiet corners for conversation and the gentle hum of the bar. As evening builds, the pace shifts. Televisions over the bar screen major football and international fixtures, turning parts of the room into an informal sports bar when big games are on. Late on Friday and Saturday nights, the pub can turn lively and loud, especially around the bar area. On selected evenings, live bands or acoustic sets bring an extra dose of energy, making it a natural place to round off a day of gallery-hopping and shopping in Holstebro.Part of Holstebro’s Cultural Tapestry
Holstebro is known for its public art, theatres and pedestrianised centre, and Fox and Hounds is very much woven into this urban fabric. Step outside and you are moments from sculptures, local shops and the Storå river that threads through town. The pub complements nearby museums and performance spaces, providing a relaxed setting for a post-exhibition drink or a burger after a show. The interior design leans deliberately British, but there is plenty of Danish hygge in the candlelit tables, friendly staff and calm afternoon vibe. It serves as a bridge between Holstebro’s creative identity and an international pub culture that feels instantly recognisable.Practical Details for a Laid-Back Visit
Fox and Hounds keeps long opening hours most days of the week, with earlier daytime openings and late closing on Friday and Saturday, fitting the city’s rhythm of after-work drinks and weekend nights out. Prices are mid-range by Danish standards: not the cheapest pint in town, but in line with a quality-focused, imported beer and whisky list. Seating is spread between high bar stools and more comfortable tables, with some outdoor seating in good weather. The central Holstebro location makes it easy to fold a visit into a wider evening in town, whether you are travelling solo, with friends or as a couple looking for a cozy, informal spot.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
