Local tips
- Plan your visit for Friday or Saturday night if you want the full bar-and-club experience, as these are the main opening days with the longest late-night hours.
- Arrive earlier in the evening if you prefer a quieter pub feel with easier access to seating, before the dance floor and music volume ramp up.
- Bring valid photo ID, as door checks are common on busy nights and the venue is aimed at an adult nightlife crowd.
- If you are with a larger group, consider booking a table in advance through the official channels, especially around weekends and event nights.
- Eat beforehand at one of the nearby restaurants in central Vejle, as the focus here is drinks, music and nightlife rather than a full dining menu.

Discover more about The Old Irish Pub
An Irish-Inspired Night Spot in Central Vejle
The Old Irish Pub sits on Dæmningen, right in Vejle’s compact city centre, pairing Irish-pub charm with the buzz of a Danish nightlife venue. From the outside it feels familiar and welcoming, with branded signage, warm lighting and often a low murmur of music spilling out onto the street. Inside, it is designed to evoke a traditional Irish bar, but with a distinctly modern party edge. Dark wooden furniture, long bar counters and high tables create plenty of places to settle in for a drink, while scattered décor references Ireland’s pub heritage. At the same time, the space is laid out to handle a proper night out, with room to stand, mingle and dance when the evening gathers pace.From After-Work Drinks to Late-Night Dance Floor
On weekends, The Old Irish Pub in Vejle shifts gradually from relaxed bar to full-on late-night destination. Early in the evening, guests linger over draught beer, long drinks or Irish-inspired cocktails, catching up with friends in a fairly laid-back atmosphere. As the night advances, lights dim, the music volume rises and the focus moves towards the dance floor. The venue operates as both bar and discotheque, typically opening in the evening and carrying on into the early hours of the morning on Fridays and Saturdays. DJs or curated playlists keep a steady stream of pop, rock and party hits going, drawing in a varied crowd of locals, students and visitors looking for a lively end to the day.Sport, Music and Group-Friendly Vibes
Like many Irish pubs, this branch leans into a social, communal feel. Multiple screens usually show major sports, so football matches or big tournaments are often part of the atmosphere. Group tables and a long bar make it easy for larger groups to gather, whether for casual drinks, celebrations or pre-party meetups before moving on elsewhere. The broader Old Irish Pub concept often features live music nights or themed events, and the Vejle location follows that pattern when scheduled, adding another layer of entertainment to the experience. The combination of music, sport and a wide drinks selection makes it a flexible venue: you can stop in for one drink or stay until closing time.Location, Layout and Practical Details
The pub’s address at Dæmningen 15–17 puts it within a short stroll of Vejle’s main streets, shops and eateries, so it easily fits into an evening that starts with dinner nearby. Being in the centre means you are close to accommodation and onward nightlife options, but it also means the atmosphere can be energetic and noisy late at night. Indoors, seating ranges from bar stools to tall tables and occasional softer seating corners, though the focus is more on social standing space than on quiet, intimate nooks. Lighting is generally low and warm, tailored to the evening crowd rather than daytime use. As a nightlife venue, it is geared toward adults, with ID checks and door staff common on busy nights.Who It Suits and How Long to Stay
The Old Irish Pub Vejle is best suited to travellers seeking a sociable, upbeat night: couples wanting a fun bar, groups marking a celebration, or solo travellers looking for an easy place to meet people. Those who enjoy a traditional pub aesthetic but still want dancing and club-style energy will feel particularly at home. Most visitors spend anywhere from one to three hours here, depending on whether they drop in for a pre-dinner drink, a sports match on screen, or stay through peak late-night hours on Fridays and Saturdays. It is more about music, drinks and atmosphere than food, so it works best as part of an evening out in central Vejle rather than a full night’s only stop.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
