Discover more about Arrebo
An island pub in the heart of Ærøskøbing
Arrebo sits on Vestergade, one of Ærøskøbing’s main streets, just a few minutes’ walk from the harbour and the town’s pastel-painted houses. From the outside it looks like a classic Danish local: unpretentious, compact and a little rough around the edges, the sort of place that feels comfortably lived-in rather than styled. Inside you step straight into a cosy barroom where the counter, bottles and taps are the natural focal point. The room is low-lit and intimate, with worn furniture, a scattering of tables and the murmur of conversation providing the background soundtrack. You are firmly in pub territory here: this is a social living room for the town as much as an eating place, and that gives it a relaxed, informal energy at almost any time of day.Beer, comfort food and simple pleasures
Arrebo focuses on straightforward refreshments rather than elaborate gastronomy. Expect draft beer, including well-known international brews alongside Danish staples, plus a short list of wines, spirits and easy-drinking cocktails. It is the kind of bar where an afternoon coffee can casually stretch into an evening round of beers. The kitchen turns out unfussy pub-style dishes designed to pair with a pint: think hearty snacks, simple hot meals and classic bar plates rather than multi-course menus. Portions are generous and prices are generally kind to the wallet, which makes it a practical stop for travellers watching their budget as well as for locals dropping in after work.Courtyard calm and summer evenings
One of Arrebo’s nicest surprises is out the back, where a sheltered courtyard opens up away from the street. In fine weather this becomes the natural gathering point, with outdoor tables clustered against the walls and the scent of food drifting from the kitchen. On a warm summer evening, with golden light on the roofs of Ærøskøbing, it is an inviting place to linger over a second drink. The yard is relaxed and informal, with a mix of chairs and benches and a come-as-you-are dress code that fits the island’s easygoing tempo. It works as well for cyclists pausing mid-ride as it does for couples taking a breather between exploring the old town’s alleys.Live music nights and local rhythm
Arrebo is more than just a quiet corner for a beer; at certain times it becomes one of Ærøskøbing’s small-scale music stages. Through the summer, the pub regularly hosts live performances, from local bands to visiting acts, as well as themed evenings such as karaoke or quiz nights. On those occasions the volume rises, the bar fills and the atmosphere turns distinctly festive. These events underline Arrebo’s role as a meeting point between residents and visitors. Holidaymakers rubbing shoulders with islanders at the bar, spontaneous singalongs and impromptu conversations are all part of the experience when the music is playing.Atmosphere, quirks and character
Arrebo’s charm lies in its authenticity. This is not a polished cocktail lounge but a down-to-earth pub with a slightly old-school feel, right down to the lingering smell of smoke that can still be noticeable indoors. It attracts a broad mix of ages, from regulars claiming their usual seats to travellers discovering the place for the first time. The staff contribute to the easy atmosphere with straightforward, friendly service, and English is generally understood, which helps international guests feel at home. Whether you stop in briefly for a nightcap after exploring Ärø, or settle in for a full evening of music and conversation, Arrebo offers a slice of local island life in the middle of Ærøskøbing’s historic streets.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
