Local tips
- Aim for late evening on Thursdays, Fridays or Saturdays if you want a livelier atmosphere, as the bar stays open into the early morning on these nights.
- For a quieter experience, visit in the afternoon or early evening on weekdays, when the cellar is more relaxed and it is easier to find a cosy corner.
- Combine a visit with a walk to Viborg Domkirke and the surrounding historic streets; the bar works well as either a pre-dinner drink or a final nightcap.
- Bring a light layer even in summer; as with many cellar bars, the temperature can feel noticeably cooler underground than at street level.

Discover more about Mathias Kælderen
Cellar hideaway in the heart of Viborg
Stepping down into Mathias Kælderen, you leave the main shopping street of Viborg behind and enter a low-lit cellar room that feels instantly removed from the outside bustle. Housed beneath an older building on Sankt Mathias Gade, the bar makes the most of its underground setting, with thick walls, snug corners and a sense of being tucked safely below the city. The name itself, drawing on the street above, underlines this close connection to the historic centre. The interior leans into classic Danish pub tradition: sturdy wooden furniture, a long, well-used bar counter and soft, amber-toned lighting that flatters both the room and its guests. It is the kind of space that encourages you to sit a little longer than planned, watching the rhythms of the evening slowly unfold.Atmosphere of hygge and easy conversation
The mood at Mathias Kælderen is defined by hygge rather than high volume. Background music sits low enough for conversation, and the vaulted feel of the cellar wraps groups and couples in a warm, contained soundscape. It suits unhurried catch-ups, pre-dinner drinks or a final nightcap after exploring Viborg’s cobbled lanes and cathedral square. Seasonal touches and candlelight add to the sense of comfort, particularly on dark autumn and winter evenings when the contrast with the chill outside is most striking. In summer, the bar becomes a cool retreat from the warmth above ground, a shaded refuge where the air stays pleasantly steady.Drinks, local flavours and casual snacking
Behind the bar, the focus is on beers, simple mixed drinks and approachable wines rather than elaborate cocktails. You can expect familiar Danish lagers alongside selected specialty or craft options, plus standard spirits and long drinks that match the unpretentious setting. Prices sit in a moderate range for Denmark, making it easy to settle in for a few rounds without ceremony. Some light snacks or simple bar bites may be available to keep you going between drinks, but Mathias Kælderen remains very much a drinks-first venue. It pairs well with the many restaurants and takeaways nearby, functioning as a natural stop before or after a meal elsewhere in Viborg’s compact centre.Historic surroundings just beyond the door
One of the quiet pleasures of visiting Mathias Kælderen is its immediate neighbourhood. Step back outside and you are within walking distance of Viborg Domkirke, the city’s imposing cathedral, as well as older streets lined with traditional houses and small shops. The bar becomes a kind of informal annex to this historic quarter, a place to reflect on the day’s impressions with a glass in hand. Because the bar sits on a central pedestrian-friendly street, it easily fits into an evening that also takes in nearby restaurants, cultural venues or a stroll towards the lakes. For locals, it acts as a familiar meeting point; for visitors, it offers a straightforward way to tap into everyday Viborg nightlife without leaving the old town area.Evenings that stretch past midnight
Mathias Kælderen keeps notably late hours from Thursday through Saturday, with the bar serving into the early morning. On these nights, the cellar gradually shifts from quiet early-evening conversations to a busier, more energetic late-night feel, while still holding onto its intimate scale. Earlier in the week, the pace is usually calmer, making it a comfortable choice for a low-key drink after work or sightseeing. The combination of accessible drinks, central location and sheltering cellar setting means time has a way of slipping by. Whether you stay for a single beer or let the evening unspool into the small hours, the bar’s compact, timeless room remains the constant backdrop, a softly lit pocket below Viborg’s historic streets.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
