Local tips

  • Arrive earlier in the evening if you want a table for live music nights or major football and rugby fixtures, as seats near the bar and screens fill quickly.
  • Try pairing a pint of stout with classic pub dishes such as fish and chips or a burger for a filling, good-value meal in an otherwise pricey central area.
  • If you prefer a quieter experience, visit in late morning or mid-afternoon when the atmosphere is more laid-back and there is more space to sit and linger.
  • Bring a contactless card rather than cash, as card payments are widely used in Copenhagen and make settling the tab at the bar especially quick.
  • Check the day’s sports schedule and music listings in advance so you can time your visit with a match, performance or a calmer window that suits your plans.

An Irish heartbeat on Copenhagen’s main square

The Dubliner sits on Amagertorv, a cobbled square in the very center of Copenhagen’s old town, and feels instantly familiar to anyone who has ever ducked into a traditional Irish pub. A dark wooden façade, hanging signs and flags draw you in from the busy pedestrian street, while the low glow from the windows hints at the bustle inside. Its location makes it a natural pause point between sightseeing stops, yet once you step in, the city outside quickly fades into background noise. Inside, the atmosphere is built around wood: paneled walls, high bar stools, sturdy tables and a long polished counter lined with taps. The lighting is intentionally dim and warm, more about amber tones than bright spots, which gives the large main room a snug, cave-like feel even when it is buzzing. Posters, beer mirrors, sports scarves and Irish memorabilia fill most bare surfaces, reinforcing the impression that this is as much a social club as a bar.

From creamy stout to classic pub plates

The bar takes center stage here, with a strong focus on well-poured Guinness and Irish stouts alongside lagers and local Danish brews. Staff are used to talking visitors through the beer range, from easy-drinking pints to stronger craft options, and there is usually a choice of whiskies for those seeking something more spirited. Cocktails lean classic and uncomplicated, supporting the pub’s easygoing rather than experimental character. The food menu sticks to crowd-pleasing staples: think fish and chips, burgers, nachos, steaks and filling breakfasts or brunch-style plates earlier in the day. Portions tend to be generous, mirroring the Irish-pub tradition of serving dishes that match a night of drinking and conversation. With a kitchen open from daytime through the evening, it works both as a casual lunch stop and as a place to refuel after hours of walking Copenhagen’s streets.

Live music, big screens and easy sociability

Entertainment is an important part of The Dubliner’s appeal. On many evenings, a small stage area hosts live musicians playing a mix of Irish folk, rock classics and sing-along favourites, turning the main bar into a lively, good-natured gathering. Earlier in the day and during big fixtures, the pub’s screens become the focus, showing football, rugby and other major sports, drawing in both locals and travelling fans. This sociable, open setting makes it particularly welcoming for solo travellers who want company without formality, as well as groups of friends looking for a straightforward night out. English is widely spoken by staff and guests alike, and the layout offers both bar-side perches for chatting with the bartender and more secluded tables if you prefer to settle in for a long meal or game.

Day-to-night hub in the historic center

Thanks to long opening hours, The Dubliner functions as a flexible base during a day in Copenhagen. In the late morning or afternoon, the pub is typically more relaxed, with people dropping by for a coffee, an early pint or a simple lunch while watching life stream across Amagertorv through the windows. As evening approaches, lights dim further, the volume rises and the pub shifts into a more energetic mood, with music, sport and conversation overlapping. Its position on a main pedestrian artery means the people-watching is constant, and you are only ever a short stroll from major sights such as the old merchant streets, churches and canals. For many visitors, that combination of unmistakably Irish ambiance and unmistakably Copenhagen location is exactly the charm: an island of pub culture woven neatly into the fabric of the Danish capital.

Practical comforts for an unpretentious night out

Despite being in a heritage setting, The Dubliner is designed for convenience. The interior is spacious enough to handle crowds, with standing room near the bar and seated zones deeper inside. Restrooms are downstairs, so some stair use is involved, but within the pub itself the floors are generally level and easy to navigate. Music and sports screenings can make the soundscape lively, so expect a bustling rather than hushed environment. While prices reflect its central address, the experience remains informal and relaxed: no dress codes, no reservations for a simple drink, and a come-as-you-are attitude that suits everything from a quick solo Guinness to a full evening with friends. In a city known for sleek design bars, The Dubliner keeps things straightforward—cold beer, warm lighting and the easy comfort of a well-worn Irish pub at the heart of Copenhagen.
