Local tips
- Come early in the afternoon for a quieter atmosphere and more time to discuss styles with the staff before the after‑work crowds arrive.
- Start with 10 cl tasters to explore several styles before committing to a full pour—especially helpful given the 60‑plus rotating taps.
- Check the in‑bar tap board for newly added beers; the list changes frequently and often includes limited releases and guest brews.
- Use the happy‑hour period on selected days before early evening to sample pricier styles at a gentler price point.
- If you are in a mixed group, note that Taphouse also serves wine, spirits, soft drinks and simple snacks alongside the extensive beer list.

Discover more about Taphouse
A Nordic beer hall in the heart of Copenhagen
Taphouse sits on Lavendelstræde, a short stroll from Copenhagen’s historic core, but once you step inside the focus shifts entirely to beer. The space feels like a modern take on the classic beer hall: high ceilings, a long central bar, and a mix of communal benches and smaller tables. Clean lines, pale wood and unfussy lighting give it a distinctly Scandinavian character, more functional than fussy, with the bar itself acting as the room’s main visual anchor. The atmosphere leans social but not rowdy. There are no TV screens competing for attention, so the soundtrack is mostly low music and the hum of conversation. It is the kind of place where groups spread out over shared tables, solo visitors perch at the bar with a book, and the pace encourages you to linger over what’s in your glass rather than rush to the next round.One of Europe’s largest draft selections
Taphouse is built around its 61 taps, one of the largest draft selections in Europe. The tap list is organized by style rather than brewery, making it easier to navigate everything from crisp lagers and hop‑forward IPAs to sours, dark ales, porters and hefty imperial stouts. At any given time, dozens of different breweries are represented, with a strong showing from Danish and Nordic microbreweries alongside classics and curiosities from further afield. The selection changes constantly, and part of the experience is simply browsing the board and spotting what has appeared since your last visit. Those unsure where to start can order small tasters, allowing you to compare several styles side by side. Beer lines are kept short and rotated frequently, which helps maintain freshness and keeps the list feeling alive rather than static.How to taste your way through 61 taps
Facing such choice, strategy helps. Many visitors begin with a flight of tasters to establish their preferred styles, then commit to larger pours once they find something they love. Staff are used to guiding people through the list, asking a few quick questions about preferences before suggesting a handful of options. This is especially useful if you are curious about particular styles such as hazy IPAs, barrel‑aged stouts or mixed‑fermentation sours. Pricing reflects Copenhagen’s position as a northern European capital, but smaller glass sizes and happy‑hour discounts on selected taps can make a focused tasting surprisingly accessible. For dedicated enthusiasts, it is easy to spend an evening following a theme: all Danish brews, for instance, or a progression from light and citrusy to dark and dessert‑like.Beyond beer: snacks, spirits and practical comforts
Although beer is the undisputed star, Taphouse does not leave you entirely to fend for yourself between rounds. A short list of simple snacks—think nuts, chips and charcuterie‑style bites—helps bridge the gap for those staying a while. There are also wines, whiskies and a handful of other spirits for companions who are less beer‑focused, plus soft drinks, coffee and tea. Free Wi‑Fi and ample seating make it a comfortable spot to pause during a day of sightseeing or to settle in on a rainy evening. The layout includes a main floor and additional seating downstairs, which helps absorb crowds at busier times. Restrooms are on the compact side, but everything you need for a relaxed session is within easy reach of the bar.When to visit and who it suits best
Timing can change the feel of Taphouse dramatically. Afternoons early in the week are often quieter, ideal if you want to talk in depth about styles or work through a methodical tasting. As the evening progresses—especially on Fridays and Saturdays—the space fills with a livelier mix of locals, beer tourists and groups starting a night out in the city center. Taphouse suits anyone with an interest in beer, from curious beginners to seasoned aficionados chasing rare styles. The casual, unpretentious setting works well for friends, couples and solo visitors alike. With its central location, substantial draft range and knowledgeable team, it has become a key stop on Copenhagen’s craft beer map and a place where the city’s evolving beer culture is poured, one tap at a time.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
