Mikkeller Bar Viktoriagade sits in Vesterbro, one of Copenhagen's central neighbourhoods, at Viktoriagade 8 B-C. It is a small cellar bar, and it is the place where the Mikkeller brewery's first bar opened, which gives the visit a certain historical interest for anyone who follows the craft beer scene.
The room and the atmosphere
The interior was designed by the Danish design bureau Femmes Régionales. The result blends a traditional Danish pub feel with a lighter Scandinavian aesthetic, so the room feels both familiar and fresh. It is an unassuming space, and most of the pleasure comes from settling in and taking your time.
What to drink and eat
The tap list leans heavily on Mikkeller's own beers, so this is a good place to taste the brewery's range as it is made today. The bar also keeps a list of vintage Mikkeller bottles dating back to the company's early days, alongside guest bottles from other producers. Those older bottles make the visit more than a simple pint.
To eat, the bar serves snacks such as Danish cheese and handmade sausages. They suit the beer well and make a relaxed stop for an evening rather than a full meal.
Planning a visit
Tables can be booked by email, with a maximum party size of 10, which is worth doing for a group or on a busy night. The bar is open every evening. For bookings and current details, check the Mikkeller website, which lists the location and its contact information.
