Discover more about Fox and Hounds
A slice of Britain in the heart of Herning
Fox and Hounds brings a classic British pub feel to Östergade, right in the center of Herning. Stepping inside, you move from the modern Danish high street into a warmly lit room of dark wood, framed pictures and softly glowing lamps. The bar counter runs along one side, stocked with beers, ciders and spirits, while smaller tables and cushioned benches create an intimate, low-key atmosphere. The layout is designed for lingering. High tables near the bar encourage casual chats over a quick pint, while more secluded corners let you settle in for an unhurried evening with friends. On quieter afternoons the space feels almost lounge-like; later in the day, the buzz of conversation builds as the room fills and the music gets a little louder.Beer, whiskies and comforting pub plates
The bar’s identity revolves around a broad selection of beers and a solid line-up of whiskies and classic spirits. You can expect a mix of familiar international lagers and more characterful ales or specialty brews on tap and in bottles, alongside ciders and standard cocktails. Staff are used to guiding guests through the options, whether you want something light and easy or a richer beer to sip slowly. The kitchen leans into hearty, pub-style comfort food suited to both lunch and evening visits. Burgers, sandwiches, fries and other unfussy dishes typically feature, with portions designed to work either as a main meal or as sharing plates to keep you going through a longer night. It is the kind of menu that pairs naturally with beer and conversation rather than demanding your full attention.Rhythm of the day and late-night energy
Arriving around midday, you will find Fox and Hounds in a relaxed groove. It is a comfortable spot to break up shopping or work with a simple lunch and a soft drink or beer. As the afternoon moves on, after-work groups filter in, and the bar shifts into social mode, with a friendly, informal pace. On Thursdays and especially Fridays and Saturdays, opening hours stretch deep into the night, and the character changes again. The music is more pronounced, the tables fill, and people spill between the bar and the street outside for air and conversation. It is lively without being a full nightclub: a place where you can still talk, but where the energy is unmistakably that of a late-night city-center bar.Central location and local character
Being right on Östergade, the pub is surrounded by shops, cafés and other venues, which makes it easy to weave a visit into a broader day or evening in town. The pedestrian setting outside the entrance adds to the casual feel: in good weather, outdoor seating lets you sit with a drink and watch Herning’s small-city life drift past. Inside, English-style details blend with a distinctly Danish sense of coziness. Heavy wood, warm tones and low lighting are balanced with a straightforward, unpretentious layout. There is no stage-set theme park feel; instead, it comes across as a working pub that happens to borrow its soul from across the North Sea.Who will enjoy Fox and Hounds
Fox and Hounds suits a wide audience: small groups of friends, couples starting a night out, solo visitors looking for a friendly bar stool, and travellers who like to anchor themselves in a city’s pub scene. Prices sit in the moderate range for Denmark, making it accessible for casual evenings rather than only special occasions. It is more of an adult environment, especially late at night, but earlier in the day it can work for mixed-age groups who simply want a meal and a relaxed atmosphere. If you appreciate a good beer list, a central location and the gentle hum of a pub that knows how to stay open late, this is one of Herning’s dependable options.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
