Local tips
- Aim to visit around lunchtime, when the full café and pub menu is available and the bay views are at their brightest through the large windows.
- On sunny days, choose a table on the terrace to enjoy the panorama over Ho Bay; bring an extra layer as the coastal breeze can feel cool even in summer.
- Combine your stop with a walk or round at Blåvandshuk Golf, as the pub is integrated into the golf center and works well as a pre- or post-activity meal.
- Check opening hours in advance, especially outside the main summer season, as the pub typically opens from midday and closes in the late afternoon or early evening.
- If traveling with children, make use of the spacious surroundings and outdoor seating, which provide a relaxed environment between coastal excursions.

Discover more about Ho Pub & Cafe
A bayside pub on the edge of the fairways
Ho Pub & Cafe sits at the quiet end of Blåvand, in the little settlement of Ho, where golf greens, farmland and tidal bay all meet. Attached to Blåvandshuk Golf, it feels half clubhouse and half neighborhood pub, with a friendly, informal atmosphere and big picture windows that pull the landscape right into the room. In a region better known for windswept dunes and summer houses, this is a rare spot where you can combine a relaxed meal with an uninterrupted view of Ho Bay. Inside, the look is simple and unfussy: wooden tables, functional chairs, golf trophies and course memorabilia dotted around, and a long counter where drinks and orders are handled. It is the kind of space that is designed to be easygoing rather than polished, somewhere you can arrive in golf shoes, walking boots or a sea-salted windbreaker and feel equally at home.Classic café dishes with a Danish twist
The kitchen leans into its gastropub label with familiar, comforting plates rather than fine dining. Expect a compact menu of café standards and pub-inspired dishes: burgers, open-faced sandwiches, salads and warm snacks sized perfectly for a post-round hunger. There is usually a nod to local taste in the form of Danish-style offerings and hearty plates suited to the North Sea climate. Portions tend to be generous and unfussy, with an emphasis on simple flavors over elaborate presentation. Coffee, soft drinks and a selection of beers and wines round out the experience, making it as suitable for an afternoon coffee stop as for a late lunch with something stronger. In the peak season, the terrace becomes an outdoor dining room, the kind of place where a quick bite can easily stretch into a long, leisurely break.Framed by Ho Bay, dunes and heathland
What sets Ho Pub & Cafe apart is its setting. From the windows and terrace you look across rolling fairways towards the shallow waters of Ho Bay, a sheltered inlet connected to the wild North Sea. The light here changes constantly: bright and sharp on clear days, silvered and moody when North Sea weather rolls in. Birds skim low over the bay, and on still days you can almost hear the distant hush of waves beyond the dunes. The surrounding area is a patchwork of heath, pine plantations and low-lying fields, crisscrossed by walking and cycling routes. Many visitors fold a stop at the pub into a wider day exploring Blåvand’s beaches, the nearby Tirpitz bunker museum or the village church at Ho. The pub becomes a natural pause point between outdoor adventures and coastal sightseeing.Relaxed rhythms and seasonal patterns
Ho Pub & Cafe keeps daytime-focused hours, opening around midday and closing by late afternoon on most days, with slightly longer hours on Fridays and Saturdays. That rhythm gives the place a distinctly unhurried feel; it is more a lunchtime and early-evening haunt than a late-night bar. Outside the height of summer, weekdays can be especially calm, with golfers, locals and a scattering of off-season holidaymakers sharing the space. Crowds swell in school holidays and on fine-weather weekends, when golfers finish their rounds and families drift in from nearby summer houses. Even then, the dispersed seating, large windows and outdoor tables retain a sense of openness. On grey or blustery days, the interior feels like a warm refuge, the kind of spot where you watch the weather sweep across the bay with a hot drink in hand.A handy stop on a Blåvand coastal itinerary
Because of its position just outside Blåvand, Ho Pub & Cafe works well as a planned stop in a broader day along the coast. It is a practical choice if you are golfing, but also a convenient lunch base between visits to the beaches, lighthouses and museums of the Blåvandshuk area. Free parking around the golf center makes it easy to drop in by car, while cyclists tackling the flat roads and trails of the peninsula often use it as a mid-ride refuel. This is not a destination restaurant in the fine-dining sense; it is a casual, countryside pub-café that earns its place in an itinerary through its setting and utility. If you are exploring Ho Bay and the western edge of Jutland, it offers exactly what you want at the coast: a simple meal, a drink, a chair by the window and a wide, wind-scrubbed view.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
