Taphouse Copenhagen
Copenhagen’s craft-beer playground with 60+ rotating taps, minimalist Scandinavian design and a relaxed, conversation-first atmosphere off City Hall Square.
Taphouse is Copenhagen’s temple to craft beer, tucked into Lavendelstræde just behind the City Hall Square. Inside this minimalist, wood-and-brick bar you’ll find one of Europe’s largest draft selections, with 60+ taps pouring everything from Danish microbrews to Belgian quadrupels, sours, IPAs and rare seasonal releases. Digital tap lists, taster-sized pours and helpful staff make it easy to explore, while the relaxed, TV-free atmosphere keeps the focus firmly on conversation and what’s in your glass.

Local tips
- Arrive before early evening if you want a seat and time to study the tap list; afternoons are quieter and ideal for working through tasting flights.
- Order small tasting pours to explore several styles; it is one of the easiest spots in Copenhagen to build your own craft-beer flight.
- If you are hungry, pick up takeaway from nearby eateries; outside food is generally welcome when the bar is not serving its own dishes.
- Check the digital board for newly tapped kegs, which are clearly marked so you can focus on what is freshest that day.
- Non-beer drinkers are accommodated with spirits, wine and soft drinks, but this is first and foremost a place for exploring draft beer.

Discover more about Taphouse
A Scandinavian beer hall in the heart of the old city
Taphouse sits on a quiet corner of Lavendelstræde, a short stroll from Copenhagen’s busy City Hall Square, yet it feels pleasantly tucked away from the main thoroughfares. Step through the door and you enter a warm, pared-back room of pale wood, exposed brick and industrial touches, anchored by a long central bar. The lighting is soft, the soundtrack low-key, and there are no TV screens to compete with the buzz of conversation. The layout is designed for both intimate tastings and social evenings. Long communal tables encourage groups to spread out trays of tasters, while smaller nooks and downstairs seating offer quieter corners. It feels distinctly Scandinavian: functional, comfortable and unpretentious, but with evident care in materials and details.Europe-spanning beer list on 60+ rotating taps
Taphouse is all about draft beer, and its claim to fame is one of Europe’s largest constantly changing tap lineups. At any moment there are around 60 kegs pouring, with a mix of Danish microbreweries and craft producers from across Europe and beyond. The selection is carefully balanced: hoppy IPAs and pale ales, crisp lagers, dark stouts and porters, tart sours, Belgian abbey styles and more experimental one-offs. A large digital board above the bar groups beers by style and shows brewery, origin, alcohol percentage and price. New kegs are highlighted, so you can home in on what has just been tapped. Because the list shifts frequently, repeat visits rarely mean the same choices twice, which keeps the experience fresh for beer-focused travelers.Tasting-friendly pours and easy-going service
One of Taphouse’s strengths is how approachable it makes such an extensive list. Almost every beer is available in small tasting pours, allowing you to build your own flight or explore a style before committing to a full glass. Staff are used to guiding both enthusiasts and beginners, discussing flavor profiles and making suggestions based on what you usually drink. Prices reflect central Copenhagen’s bar scene, but happy hour discounts on selected taps earlier in the day make experimentation more affordable. There is also free Wi‑Fi and a simple tab system at the bar, which keeps practicalities smooth so you can focus on tasting.Snacks, non-beer options and a bring-your-own-food culture
While beer is the undisputed star, Taphouse does not ignore those who prefer something else. Behind the bar, you will find a concise selection of whisky and other spirits, a few wines, soft drinks, non-alcoholic beers and gluten-free options. The food offering is deliberately modest: think nuts, sausages, cheeses and chips, the kind of salty bites that pair naturally with a pint. A particularly convenient feature is the relaxed attitude to outside food when the bar’s own kitchen is not operating. Surrounded by central Copenhagen’s takeaways and restaurants, it is common to pick up something nearby and enjoy it at a table here, turning Taphouse into an informal dining room for whatever you are in the mood to eat.When to drop in and how long to linger
Afternoons are generally calmer, ideal for methodical tastings or a quiet chat over a couple of thoughtfully chosen pours. As the evening progresses, the atmosphere becomes livelier, especially on weekends, but the focus remains on conversation rather than loud music. With so many taps to explore, it is surprisingly easy to spend several hours here without realizing it. The bar’s central location makes it flexible: it can be a short pre-dinner stop to try a few Danish brews, a rainy-day refuge for in-depth sampling, or a full evening’s destination with friends. Whether you are a dedicated beer nerd armed with a wish list or a curious traveler open to suggestions, Taphouse rewards unhurried visits and a willingness to explore.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
